Kingdom of Beaver
The Kingdom of Beaver was a kingdom established by the House of Kupa, lasting from around the 1200s until 1448.
Overview
[edit]Beaver was a fertile region in the middle of Sentro. Ruled by the House of Kupa, King Bausero systematised the army structure, and created a strong and large army at dispense. After conquering the Southern lands, King Bausero aimed north towards Ineast, and subsequently Hamton, seeing it as a great rival. In an effort to prevent conflict between the kingdoms, King Konrad of Hamton proposed a marriage between the King's daughter, Piĉa, and King Bausero, although King Bausero was much older than the Princess. The deal was sealed, and Princess Piĉa was sent to Beaver to be the wife of Bausero.
History
[edit]King Bausero, with his previous wife, bore eight children: Bausero Jr (Bausereto), Mortono, Rojo, Venda, Ludvi\^{g}o, Larjo, Igio and Lemio. Rojo was at similar age as Piĉa, so during Piĉa's marriage, he was one of her closest companions. Bausero was already about 50 years old by then. Rumours said that Rojo was actually sleeping with Pi\^{c}a while Bausero was absent.
Because of his age, King Bausero had already been preparing for Prince Bausereto's succession. In the absence of the King, Bausereto would take over the position of the head of state, and rule on his father's behalf. There was no doubt in the Kingdom of Beaver, that Bausereto would succeed his father to become king. Bausero, on the other hand, had set up a system to prevent royal conflict and succession arguments.
Mortono was not liked by his father, due to his dark skin and gullible personality. He was assigned by the king to conquer Wecland, the east bank of the river to the North. Settled by the tribe of Luma and ruled by the Queen Rosalina, Mortono was tasked to conquer this land for himself.
Rojo, on the other hand, was one of Bausero's favourite sons. He was a great tactician and excelled in military operations. As a result, Bausero kept Rojo on his side as a general, and let him live within the palace. However, Bausero ensured Rojo that he would not succeed as king, as an effort to prevent conflict within the family. Consequently, Rojo lived a playboy and carefree lifestyle under his father's care, in order to display his lack of ambition towards the Beaver throne.
Venda was the only daughter of Bausero, and was destined to be engaged in a political marriage, like a lot of royal women in that time period. To seal an alliance between the strong Kingdom of Veen across the River Veen, Bausero arranged a marriage between Venda and the King, Hanso IV. She was his second wife, and bore a child, Anrio.
Ludvi\^{g}o was the most intelligent son of Bausero, which earned him a position within Bausero's court. He helped his father manage the country, but had no ambition to the throne, because Bausereto was already secure in the line of succession. He stayed in Beaver until Bausero died.
Larjo, Igio and Lemio were the youngest children of Bausero, and stayed in his hospitality for the whole of Bausero's life. They were much younger than Bausereto, so instead of seeing him as a brother, it would be more likely that they saw him as a father-figure.
