Clarent

A kingdom whose royal family is notable for being human, Clarent was a country on the planet of Nephele who, before its fall to the Unearthed, was an absolute monarchy - one of the last remaining ones in the Locusts-era.

Clarent was a temperate, forested country whose main exports were grain and finely crafted steel goods; they practiced horse dressage and swordsmanship even in the era of the machine gun and the overland motorcar. Before its fall Clarent was seen as the diplomatic, economic, and military leader of the continent it was placed on; international meetings of nations generally took place under the legendary diplomatic skills of Clarent's ruling family, the House Avenant. At the time of its fall, unrest in the lower economic classes had distracted large parts of the royal family's attention, as the burden for paying for training of mages and Princes in endless wars to take the mystical Throne Above Thrones largely fell on the poor, not the rich.

House Avenant was notable for producing Caléxandra, the Queen of Locusts, the Monarch that nearly ended the world. Caléxandra was chosen for this position by the King of Eyes, with the intention to choose a champion that could easily walk into the halls of Clarent and decapitate its leadership. This blow struck threw much of the world into disarray, and efforts to reclaim the territory from the corrosive effects of Locusts' Prince-gift are ongoing even in Legends-era.
