Hail and well met, Welcome to the world of Luftföld (German 'luft' + Hungarian 'fold' = air land)

A land of two kingdoms stuck in an eternal war. A land of mighty battles in the air and of even larger airships.

The two main kingdoms of this story are Austuria and Dular. The land of the Phoenix and of the dragon. One a land of noble knights hell bent on preserving their way of life and expanding their democracy and way of life to the smaller helpless nations. While the other a nation devoted to expansion to claim 'Living land' to preserve their people and empire. (Now don't get me wrong just looking at that you would probably guess which one is good and which one is evil. This is not that type of world both are in the grey area.)

First is Austuria:

Austuria is a nation of noble knights and kings as well as being one of the two major super powers. It is ruled over by the Phoenix king and his council of 12 (Each from the 12 original kingdoms). Austuria is divided into 13 'states' with the 13th being the Capitol and is a massive sprawling city home to the most impressive air docks in the whole world! Each of the other 12 states are ruled by a duke and have a baron represent them on the council within the capital.

The people of Austuria are a hard working and moral people. They live lives of general prosperity and of good health. The whole of the nation is built around the outer farming communities and the inner industries. Overall the land of Asutria is of lush fields and many outlying villages on the outer regions while the interior is huge sprawling cities.

The military of Austuria is a large one. Although not as disciplined or as good fighters as other nations they make up in it with numbers (This only refers to the infantry and marines for the most part.) while the kingdom also boast heavy 'knights' and have one of the best air fleets in the world.

Although Austuria has for the most part been a moral and honest people the overlords back home have grown in greed. They have in recent years begun expansion into neighbors and as well as saber rattling. It's current king Alferia is known not as a good man but as a greedy one.



Dular:

Dular is a land of harsh mountains and plains and an even harsher people. It is the other major super power in the world and has for many years been in a war with Austuria called the Eternal War (Austurian name) and the Vengeance War (Dular name). It is ruled by the Dragon Emperor with an iron fist and watched over by his 12 viceroys.

The People of Dular are a people used to hardships. They have for many centuries been struck by famine and the invasions of outsiders well that was until the industrial revolution. During the age of Innovation they built up huge factories (ones that rival anything Austuria has built) and have built up a massive air fleet and a well equipped and disciplined army.

The Military of Dular is the finest in the land. One forged in the firs of war and tested in the heat of battle. It is the Iron fist of the emperor that holds the salvation and hope of the Dularians themselves.

Dular is a harsh land of rocky mountains and plains. The only thing that has keep the Dularian people alive is expansion at the cost of others. Although it pains the emperor he must invade his neighbors to have his people survive.

The mass industry of Dular has also caused more issues back home. The smog blinds and chocks the civilians while the chemicals in the air are toxic and harmful. Even in their own cities the people of Dular must wear protective masks just to breathe (The Only areas escaping this are the looming spires of the massive cities and of the capitol) but, in the air the people of Dular can be free. Their they can bring salvation to the empire and hope to their people.
