Kingdom of Gavriel

The White Kingdom of Gavriel is a dwindling power, the smallest of the human kingdoms. Once the most powerful and expansive human nation, the Gavric people now think back to their days of splendor and hope, in vain, to see the kingdom return to its former glory.

The White Kingdom of Gavriel is a collection of four realms: The White Kingdom of Gavriel, The Black Barony of Hisarnis, The Bronze Barony of Pagos and The Fierce Barony of Kain.

History
In 794 GD, in the southern lands of what was formerly the Empire of Nerath, word spread of the formation of the Kingdom of Farraj among former Nerathi lands. Various southern leaders then claimed the title of "King" and fought each other with warbands. After months of battles, one warlord emerged as the respected victor, and the southern settlements crowned him their king, thus establishing the Kingdom of Gavriel. One of the warlords who died during these battles was Heradrius the Dread Terror, who was 78 years old at the time.

Military
The leader of the Gavric military holds the title of War Lord, and is second only in power to the King himself. In war times, the War Lord's power supersedes that of the king. The War Lord wears white furs, a winged helmet, and massive spike pauldrons.

Four Brigadiers serve beneath the War Lord, one governing each of Gavriel's four provinces. Brigadiers wear white furs, a winged helmet, and massive pauldrons.

Beneath the Brigadiers are the Hipparchs, who wear white furs, a horned helmet, and massive pauldrons.

Tetrarchs serve under the Hipparchs and wear white furs and a horned helmet.

Hoplites, who wear white furs, are beneath the Tetrachs, and they are in charge of soldiers, who wear grey furs.

Culture
The Gavric people have a fierce, warrior culture. It is considered dishonorable for a man to die outside of combat.

Architecture
Doorways are topped with rounded arches. Rooves are symmetric and shallow-slanted. Most houses in Gavriel are only one story tall, though great in length and width.

Fashion
Gavric fashion is austere and generally devoid of any deliberately dyed fabric.
