The kingdom of Elonas, is a peaceful state, where the borders are kept safe by the Knight of the Golden Crown, or the Knights in gold. Any hostile actions against Elonas is always taken down before it can become serious, keeping the populace happy, and contently fed. Outside the kingdom it is said that it is a brutal and hostile place, which no one except the soldiers, and the prince may venture into. Elonas has a natural boarder, forests. These forests gave the kingdom it's name, the forest of Elona as they were called, circled the entire kingdom and in the middle, where the kingdom sat is a wide open plain, with a few smaller forests for lumber.
In these forests it is well known that the wood elves dwell, in harmony with the denizens of the kingdom, and it is also known that the elves are paid to be the border guards by the kingdom. The elves are excellent rangers, and live in trees, jumping from one branch to another, making them deadly and skilled bowmen.
The kingdom is ruled by a Human king, which used to be a mage five hundred YEARS ago, somehow he had found an immortality spell. And it is well known he took a dragon for a wife, a gold dragon in human form. He knew quite well of her secret, for she had told him. The king is named Osric Swordsbane, and his draconic wife, the queen is Sarcafologochi, or Sara for short. They've only sired two children, a Prince named Areon Swordsbane (me) which is the most draconic looking, well really draconic looking. And the second is a princess by the name of Helen Swordsbane (Open, just pm me if you want the spot, give me a good reason.) She isn't as nearly draconi, the only thing noticeable about her heritage would be the silvery eyes with slit pupils. Areon is the kingdom's Archmage, and he isn't a weakling when it comes to melee combat either. He is in charge of an elite group, the Mage Knights, adorned in cloth or leather armor, enchanted with spells to make any clothing as hard as steel full plate, but just has light as a feather. Excluding Areon there's only five other mage knights at any one time. (If you want to be one, PM me with a good reason)
The backbone of the army of Elona is the Soldiers in White, steel clad soldiers, usually weilding elven make, heavy weapons such as Claymores, Mauls, Warhammers, Greatswords, and huge maces. Others sometimes use longswords and shields, which is usally uncommon since only nobles can use elegant longswords.
But the Main force is the Militia, basically the lowly peasants, that simply wear smple padded armor into combat at fodder, and only using spears, they are the weakest link in the army, poorly trained, though determined to prove themselves, if their family has a weapon for an heriloom they can also use that weapon, most likely a shortsword, or an old dull scimitar from an age old conquest.
We shall start this tale, in the capital, Dorienalaorgenizen or the City of Silver.
Info of the city:
In the center in a stone plateua, with steps leading up onto it, and on this plateau is the palace, a gran magnifeicent, and cosy building, made for comfort not protection. Guards are stationed at every entrance to the palace, and only the royal family, the captains of the Knights in Gold, and the Mage knights make this their home.
The rest of the city is for the peasants, and the rest of the guardforce, the Soldiers in White are stationed in barracks positioned thorughout the city. It is highly populated, and crowded.
100 foot walls, with a gate at every direction protect the city.

Races:
Human: Do I really need to explain?
Wood Elves: Rangers of the woods, and sometimes great mages, usually standing at 4'5'' to 5'5''
Dwarf: Great craftmen, and miners, always atleast one busy dwarf in every city, or town, crafting weapons for nobles and the hierarchy, standing at about 4' to 4'5'' tall, they are compact, and stronger than any human, dont underestimate their size, some can become great spell slingers.
Kobolds: lizardlike humanoids, only about 2-3 feet in height, they are worhless alone, but it large groups they can overwhelm most anyone. Most are stupid, and unorganized, mostly living in caves with very little light, some however are smart, and civilized. due to their small size they cannot wield large weapons.
(Will be adding more in the future, if you have a suggestion, put a DETAILED description in a pm and send it to me, and I'll decide, and most likely put it in, no aliens)
