'Stand in unity and we shall never fall' - King Ronaldo of Maetonada.

''The main kingdom of Maetonada. The largest kingdom in the western region of Deophezan; Kuzkhan. Born from nothing, and built over centuries, Maetonada had started as an incredibly vast plain, which was quickly built over by Humans.''

''However, as Maetonada began to cover more and more territory, a nearby warlord had set out to conquer the slowly growing settlement. However, a young man named Grandeur Blakes had learned of this and set up a small revolution to hold their own against this warlord's tyranny. Unfortunately, this revolution did not last long against the tyrant king, and Maetonada was quickly dominated. After a few years, the people of Maetonada had grown miserable. All they did was work. Feeding their warlord's troops all of their crops, providing entertainment and services to him, and living in utter squalor. ''

''Grandeur Blakes had birthed a son; Wilbur Blakes. They ran a general goods store. Grandeur's champion spirit was broken, he felt no more sense of purpose and no more reason to continue fighting. Though his son, Wilbur, had plenty of ambition, heart, and courage. Which was why, when he was only seventeen years of age, he formed his own rebellion against the warlord of Maetonada. The rebellion had only consisted of small bands of rag-tag members and ill-experienced fighters. Though, this was enough to weaken his forces and allowed Wilbur access into the warlord's hideout. The battle between Wilbur and warlord Gester was long and hard, but eventually, Wilbur had emerged victorious. However, he did not kill Gester and instead used him as a messenger to warn any other threats to Maetonada to not attempt and conquering them.''

''Finally, Maetonada was free again, and Wilbur Blakes was named the new King of Maetonada! However, there were still many threats besides other warlords, tyrants, and kings. Mamono was something else to worry about. Wilbur had set up a perimeter wall, but that wasn't enough to stop Harpies from flying overhead, or Arachne from climbing over them, or Minotaurs from breaking through their gates. Something must've been done to deal with these creatures, so Wilbur had enacted a law; 'Any Mamono that does not comply with city rules shall be judged, and sentenced, by the king themself.' This rule made it so that the kingdom became tolerant of the new inhabitants making themselves at home. Wilbur eventually settled down with a beautiful woman, Queen Miranda, and birthed a son; Ronaldo Blakes.''

''Currently, the Kingdom of Maetonada acts as a central trading hub for Human and Mamono alike, as well as a place where others can settle and live. King Ronaldo has been making great strides to further integration of Mamono into his kingdom, much to his sister kingdom; Bertrum, dismay. Soldier Beetles, Dhampirs, and Dullahans acting as war generals and soldiers. Ogres and Cyclopses being added into the workforce as blacksmiths and construction workers. King Ronaldo himself has also found love in an Echidna, his Queen Juliet. Together, they have made even more strides to keep their Kingdo safe, prosperous, and useful to others.''

''Maetonada has become a very large and prosperous kingdom, with a plentiful array of Mamono inside its walls. The most favorable is the physically enhanced and combative Mamono. Of course, every Mamono has its uses. Harpies and Wyverns partner up with riders and Dragoons to act as scouts outside of the kingdom's walls and aerial surveillance for criminal activity in the streets, Yuki-Onna provide hospitality and homesteads for travelers, and Alraune provide agricultural benefits for farmers and can teach farmers how to grow their crops more efficiently. Mamono and Human activity are at a relative standstill when it comes to permanent residency, however, there are still more Humans in Maetonada.''

''Maetonada also has a few allies, as well as enemies. Their closest in terms of distance and strength is the Kingdom of Laeniel, also known as 'The City of Dragons.' The King of Laeniel, Luther is actually a former resident of Maetonada when Ronaldo was still very young. They met through politics, with Luther's father, Raymond Bronzer, escorting the previous King to Maetonada to discuss an ally treaty. Unfortunately, the previous King was ended thanks to a rampaging Wurm. However, Raymond had to defend the King until the end and was rewarded with the throne. His rule was merciful and just, with his son becoming a Dragoon's apprentice. Eventually, around the time when Ronaldo had ascended to his throne, Luther had done the same. Around this time, the Kingdom of Laeniel had been confronted by a powerful Draconic Mamono, whose powers became a threat to Laeniel. Luther, after only being the king for a few months, set out to quell this Mamono. When he returned, however, he was accompanied by a Wurm Mamono. The people were all skeptical of their new "queen," but Luther had assured them of her position and relationship with him. Since then, Laeniel has been attracting plenty of Wyvern, Dragon, and reptilian Mamono, which is most likely due to Queen Ammey.''

''Maetonada has another ally across its northern border, the Galileic Empire. Originally, the Galileic Empire was simply an army of barbarians that roamed the frozen plains of the north, until the had come upon the temperate plains of the Ingrosso Region. They quickly began to flood this region, only being driven back by Maetonada's defenses. Thus the Galileic Empire was birthed, in their early times, they had only established themselves in order to fight back against Maetonada. The Galileic Empire had tried to fight against Maetonada in desperate attempts, at least four times in their recorded history. However, they were simply no match for Maetonada's machinery and the tactical prowess of their Mamono generals. So, the Galileic Empire had returned to the icy regions of the north. Taking what they managed to learn from Maetonada, the Galileic Empire had settled down and started their own settlements in the Snow-Wraith Mountain pass, setting up houses and other buildings on sturdy platforms with rope bridges to cross the gaps between. Eventually, after their finalization, an emperor had been elected, Bard Filgar. His bravery in battle showed that he possessed the courage, strength, and will to power through and lead his people forward. The ally treaty between both Bard and Ronaldo's father, Wilbur, wasn't made until currently. With Bard's son Birger going to Ronaldo's kingdom and requesting to forge a treaty.''

''Maetonada has one final ally in the desert of their region, the Krezocan Dynasty. This area is known as the Karimaccaw Desert, which holds a plethora of desert-inhabiting Mamono. The Krezocan Dynasty has been ruled by a powerful couple. A Pharaoh and her newly mummified husband. Pharaoh Uatchit had been reborn long before the current kingdoms. There was a time when she traveled to Maetonada in its earliest state and made a peace treaty with Grandeur to not threaten or attempt at conquering her queendom. Even now, that treaty has remained fulfilled but was instead turned into a mutual treaty, whenever either kingdom had an enemy to deal with, the other would step in and help out as much as they could.''
