Orbaume KingdomArchitectureHistoryRelationships

The Orbaume Kingdom (オルバウム選王国 ()) is composed of several small countries (which are now called duchies) that came together in order to resist the Amid Empire. The capital of the Orbaume Kingdom is the city of Orbaume.[?]

Background[]

Orbaume born 500 years ago in response to the incresing power of the Amid Empire, which have successfully united the west of the Bahn Gaia Continet under its power. During that time 12 different kingdoms choose to unit in an electoral monarquic system in order to have the power to reject the invasion of Amid, so each monarch pass from be a king to a duke and their kingdoms became duchies under the influence of the Orbaume Central Goverment.[?]

Government[]

The leader of Orbaume is chosen by popular vote by the dukes of each duchy similar to how the German princes of the past used to vote on an emperor. The King serves a term of ten years and can only be reelected once, the longest a single king can rule is 20 years. The Duchies are largely self-governing.[?]

At the time of Volume 11, the current king is Duke Corbitt.[1]

Duchies[]

There are a total of 12 duchies that the Orbaume Kingdom is comprised of, along with the cetral region of Orbaume in where the elected king govern during his term. Each Duchy possess a different culture, demography and religion factions in power, so there is a strong sense that every duchy is still a different country.

Trivia[]

  • The Extremist Faction of Alda is universally hated by the citizens of all Duchies due to the fact that it is the religion of the Amid Empire. However, certain influential people like the Duke of Hartner centuries ago were sympathetic to the Extremist Faction.[?]
  • The Amid empire claims that Orbaume has many strong monsters. However, in reality, the Amid Empire is referring to the strong Vida races that live in the Orabaume Kingdom.[?]
  • There is currently a Dhampir craze going on in all the duchies due to the fact that Heinz is part of the Harmony faction and he has taken in Selen. Dhampirs can expect guest-like treatment.[?]
  • Orbaume is named after the Free City of Orbaume, instead of being derived from the founder's surname as is the custom of most human societies. "The nation's founder united twelve independent nations and devised the system of having an elected monarch. This city was at the center of what was now the capital realm. However, even the Free City of Orbaume had originally been named by taking one character from each of the surnames of its five founders."[4]
