The Sun Kingdom

The Sun Kingdom is one of the Five Kingdoms. It is a monarchy primarily known for its technological advances, and as such has a great degree of control over the technology of the rest of the area.

History
During the Great Civil War, the Sun Kingdom used its prototype solar generators to create shock troopers, effectively creating a stalemate in the combat. This helped to put an end to the war, at which point the Veor family established their own monarchy in order to protect the technology until it could be stabilized for regular use.

Economy
The chief export of the Sun Kingdom is technological advances, particularly in the form of technomagical energy. Although high-capacity solar generators are still not stable enough to be used commercially, they are able to use its principles to spawn new inventions and sell them around the Five Kingdoms. They also supplement this industry with the agricultural centers around the major population areas of the kingdom. While the country is never particularly wealthy, it tends to have enough to continue their research and keep their people happy.

The Sun Kingdom also makes a lot off of cultural exports, as they and the Earth Kingdom are the two largest trendsetters in fashion, culinary, and entertainment circles. If anyone in the Five Kingdoms (or beyond) is decorating their home, buying a new item of clothing, or reading a novel, chances are the creator came from (or at least traveled to) the Sun Kingdom.

Politics
The Sun Kingdom is a Monarchy, the crown having been passed down for many generations along the Veor family line. However, there is currently a crisis in the throne room, as for the first time the King and Queen have both passed away without an heir to take their place, seemingly assassinated by a group of adventurers sent from the Iron Kingdom. While the search for a suitable heir takes place, the country is being managed by the court magician and chief advisor, Lamont.
