Kingdom of Lucerne

The Kingdom of Lucerne is a large human kingdom that extends south from the Mountains of Lucerne. The Kingdom is ruled by an hereditary family called the Lovie Family.

Early History
The Kingdom of Lucerne was founded following the events of the Driving Tide in 5 A.D. Fresh from their victory in the war, the Dwarves of Karak Izor wished to repay their debt, and William asked them to build them a city worthy of being a capital. The Dwarves agreed to this deal, and said that they would build a city that would not be able to be destroyed by anyone but themselves. It took the Dwarves over 7 years to finish building the city, and upon seeing the city William tasked his people with building a tower in the back of the city with which to house his Dragon. Following the building of the original city, William Lovie came to power in the city and began plans of annexation of Forks.

Founding of the Kingdom of Lucerne
With William riding on the back of his dragon, Forks submitted to its rule without any bloodshed. The same would be true for the entire Valley of Lucerne, and before anyone knew what had happened William had conquered a kingdom that was nearly equal size as Gondor.

John Lovie
The Kingdom would continue to gain in power very steadily until the rise of John Lovie.

Religion
The Kingdom of Lucerne is a free practising State, where people are free to choose their religion. There are no penalties placed on religions other then Emperor worship, which was a decision made after the Arnor War. This is a fact of great contention between Lucere, and The Empire who is the main believer in Emperor worship.

Major Religions
There are three major religions that exist in Lucerne in any significant number.

Dragon Worship
Dragon Worship is the religion of the Lovie family, and for this reason is the prodominent religion in the Kingdom. The Lovie Family has pushed the worship of the Dragon greatly throughout all of their kings, except for Bill. This includes being the primary supplier of funds for the construction of new temples, as well as providing the supplies required for the Dragon Priests to work full time at their craft.

The site for royal weddings is at the major Dragon Worship church in the kingdom, and Dragon worship maintains temples in every town, and in most of the small villages in Lucerne.



Christianity
Since the birth of the Man god Jesus, the spread of his religion has been strong throughout Araby and into the Roman Empire. This spread has had difficulty merging into Central Europe where the Dragon worship of Lucerme, and Gondor have halted the spread. Even with this Christianity is the second largest religion in the Kingdom, its man area is centered in Tree Hill of which was predominetly Christian. The destruction of Tree Hill has significantly reduced the number of christians in the Kingdom, as well as halting the inroad of Christianity into other areas. All major families hailing from Tree Hill are Christian.

Athiest
The lack of religon is a sizeable number of citizens within the Kingdom. Athiesm is noteable for not having any practising major families, a fact that has made it's number continuesly decline.

Gondor
Stormwind and Gondor had under the direction of Bill Lovie been under a policy of open hostility towards Gondor. This meant that the two kingdoms were in a non-declared state of war for the period of Bill Lovie's reign.

When Andrew took his journey he assisted Gondor in the Battle of Minus Ithil, which has repaired most of the damage between the two.

Under Andrew's rule trade is flourashing and there is talk of a true alliance.

Rome
There is trade between the two but despite the fact that they border eachother, there is no dimplomatic communication between the two sides.

The Empire
Having fought in a war against eachother, the two sides are as close to enemies as there gets. Lucerne has banned Emperor worship in its kingdom, a fact that has led the Empire to promice to convert the backward kingdom at the earlies oppurtunity.
