Faerghus cold, rugged land that has forced its people to adapt frigid north
The Kingdom's military is disciplined and instilled with a strong sense of chivalry and duty. The Kingdom army is known to rely on its knights, with House Gaspard and Gautier renowned for their cavalry while Galatea was famed for their pegasus.
Due to the harsh environment, children are trained to wield a weapon before they are taught to read and write.
Up until recent times, Fhirdiad was a disorderly city due to issues such as the water supply being poorly constructed, leading to several cases of sickness and disease. To solve this, King Lambert hired a researcher named Cornelia, who advised that he give top priority to improving the city's infrastructure. In the space of just a few years, the city was transformed into a place of beauty and order, subsequently making the diseases that had plagued the land loose their grip, one after another.
In modern times, Fhirdiad is home to a prestigious school of sorcery attended by nobles from across Fódlan. The study of magic is popular in the city, and the people have a reputation for being skilled at crafts. Due to the climate, the lands encircling the city are completely barren.
The Tailtean Plains, outside the capital of Fhirdiad, are a location of both economic and historical importance to the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus. Like Gronder Field in the Adrestian Empire and the County of Gloucester in the Leicester Alliance, the Tailtean Plains are a vital agricultural site. They were also used as the battleground in the Battle of Tailtean in Imperial Year 91, a pivotal confrontation late in the War of Heroes in which the King of Liberation Nemesis was slain by Saint Seiros, breaking the back of the Adrestian Empire's opposition in Fódlan. This was also the spot of a decisive battle where Loog defeated the Emperor to end the War of the Eagle and Lion in Imperial Year 751.
The location is inspired by Tailte, a place in Ireland where a fair and ancestor worship would be held when an important person in Irish society would have died.
Conand Tower is an abandoned fortification that lies between the territories of Fraldarius and Galatea in the eastern Kingdom. In Imperial Year 1180, a group of thieves takes up residence in the tower and attacks passing travelers.
The County of Charon lies to the southwest of the County of Galatea, along the Oghma Mountains.
The Duchy of Fraldarius is a coastal territory that lies to the east of Fhirdiad
The majority of the County of Galatea is a frigid wasteland. A severe famine afflicted the region in the early 1170s... However, the family has recently fallen on hard times due to how poor their territories are in regards to agricultural resources.
Gaspard, located in the south of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus near the border with the Adrestian Empire, is the domain of House Gaspard.
Gautier, located in the northeastern corner of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus near Sreng. ... The Margravate of Gautier serves as a buffer between the rest of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus and the warrior clans of the peninsula of Sreng.
The Itha Plains, located in the northeast of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, are part of the domain of House Blaiddyd. ... The Itha Plains are found between the Margravate of Gautier and the capital city of Fhirdiad. Many beasts can only be seen and hunted in the area.
Lake Teutates lies between the Rhodos Coast to the north and County of Rowe to the south. It is the site of an ancient temple guarded by a magic beast known as The Immovable, and it is said that the sacred bow of Saint Indech, The Inexhaustible, is hidden there.
Magdred Way is a densely forested area between the territory of Gaspard and the Oghma Mountains. At times, a nearly impenetrable fog has been known to settle over it.
The Rhodos Coast features a cemetery that is held sacred by the Church of Seiros. In Imperial Year 1180, the Western Church seized the cemetery in a direct provocation of the Central Church. Seteth was tasked with reclaiming the cemetery, but Flayn insisted that she and Byleth accompany her brother out of fear for his safety.
The County of Rowe lies along the border with the Adrestian Empire, and is adjacent to Gaspard and the Western Church. [...] House Rowe and its territory were originally part of the Empire. Sometime after the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus gained independence in Imperial Year 751, the Empire constructed the Fortress City of Arianrhod within House Rowe's domain. Upon the city's completion, House Rowe promptly revolted against the Empire and joined the Kingdom, gifting it a valuable bulwark against incursions from the south. For its contribution, the Kingdom awarded House Rowe the title of count.
