Kingdom Of Alcase

The Kingdom Of Alcase is a major Human Kingdom that sits on the Eastern border of what was once the Kingdom of Bretonia, and is now Orc held France.

The Geographical region its present in is Alcase-Lorraine, in which was once a single Kingdom, but the two have split apart into two seperate kingdoms.

Early History
In prehistoric times, Alsace was inhabited by nomadic hunters, but by (Find Date), Celts began to settle in Alcase, clearing and cultivating the land. By (Find Date), the Numenor's had invaded and established Alcase as a center of viticulture. To protect this highly valued industry, the Numenor Empire built fortifications and military camps that evolved into various communities which have been inhabited continuously to the present day. While part of the Numenor Empire, Alsace was part of Germania Superior.

Numeron
The Downfall of the Numenor Empire, gave way to many new European Empires and principalities. One of these was the Allemeni, who took Alcase territory as their own. The Allemeni controlled Alcase-Lorraine for a hundred years until the Alcase-Lorraine territory rebelled and became its own independant kingdom.

Independance
Eventually the greed of Lorraine forced Alcase to seek its own independance, and the Kingdom of Lorraine was fine with this because they didn't get along well with the Bretonians.

Climate
Alsace has a semi-continental climate with cold and dry winters and hot summers. There is little precipitation because the Vosges protect it from the west. The city of Colmar has a sunny microclimate; it is the second driest city in France, with an annual precipitation of just 550 mm, making it ideal for vin d'Alsace (Alsatian wine).
