I'm Estalia

A land shrouded in mystery and myth. Very little is known of it elsewhere in the old world. It is cut off from Brettonia and Tilea by the ranges of the Sierra del Draco running from north to south just to the west of Tobaro and the Sierra del Diablo running East/West almost to the sea.



The mountains are infested with a wide range of monsters as well as renegade goblin tribes driven west by the orcs and goblins of the Grey Mountains. North of the Sierra del Diablo is the Rio Tigre which runs north to the sea. The river is a raging torrent during all seasons. Only one bridge crosses the river halfway between the mountains and the sea. The bridge is heavily fortified at both ends. To the east, the land is infested with the tribes of the ruthless and aggressive Basquoni.

Land travel between Estalia and the old world is almost unknown except for occasional heavily armed trade caravans. Sea travel is equally perilous with pirates of all nations and Dark Elf raiders roaming along all of Estalia's coastlines. Though on the doorstep of the Empire, Brettonia and Tilea to most inhabitants of the old world Estalia is as remote as fabled Cathay.

The Kingdom of Estalia:

Don Juan I of the House of Ayala King of Estalia
Kingdom of ANDALUSIA
Capital City: Ordenes.
Title: King of Estalia.
Religion: Khalianity / Orthodox Sulimite.

The sons of the many noble houses of Estalia join the regiments of the Knights formed in each of the major cities of the kingdom. There are four regiments:

1. The Golden Lions of Aragon (Cordoba)
2. Knights of the Rising Sun (Grenada)
3. Guard Lancers of Portua (Bilbao)
4. Black Eagles of Castillia (Magritta)

Apparently, the Kingdom of Estalia only exists in a video game, Warhammer The Mysterious Kingdom of the Old World.

Wow! As a video game addict, I'm flattered =)
