History: Galloway’s modern story begins in 2053, when King Frederick I ascended to the throne, bringing a period of relative stability and careful modernization. His reign focused on strengthening alliances with neighboring Celtic kingdoms and fostering trade, culture, and industry. Yet tensions simmered to the south, as the Anglo-Saxon power of Yorkshire grew increasingly ambitious, setting the stage for future conflict.

By the 2080s, these tensions erupted into crisis. Yorkshire, supported by southern English kingdoms, expanded aggressively. Following Frederick’s death in 2084, the fragile Celtic Empire fractured, leaving Galloway vulnerable. The kingdom was invaded and occupied by Deira under King Osric, Frederick’s former ally turned rival. Osric’s occupation plunged Galloway into chaos, with widespread violence and resistance shaping daily life.

Talorc mac Achiuir, Frederick’s grandson and Osric’s nephew, narrowly survived a purge of the royal family and fled to Ireland. In the ensuing years, rogue nobles and pirate factions dominated much of Galloway, while exiled leaders such as Diomedes of Strathclyde and Wintersmith of the Highlands organized Celtic resistance.

The turning point came in 2104 at the Battle of the Three Standing Stones, a decisive victory that began to weaken Deiran control. After nearly a decade of struggle during the War of Liberation (2095–2114), Talorc returned in 2113 and was crowned king in 2114, restoring native rule. His return marked the start of a long period of reconstruction, reconciliation, and renewed focus on Galloway’s sovereignty, culture, and resilience..
Geography
Continent: Europe
Land Area: 96,560.40 sq. km
Terrain: Galloway occupies the southern reaches of Scotland, stretching from the Southern Upland watershed west of the River Nith to the rugged braes of Glenapp. The kingdom is defined by its dramatic valleys, with the Urr Water, Water of Ken, River Dee, and Cree running north to south and shaping the majority of fertile, arable land. Coastal plains provide additional farmland, though much of the region is naturally rugged with shallow soils.

The south-facing slopes and sheltered coastal areas enjoy a mild, wet climate, ideal for pasture and agriculture. In contrast, the northern reaches—the Galloway Hills—are highly rugged and largely untamed, forming the largest wilderness area in Britain south of the Highlands. These hills are not only a natural stronghold but also a haven for wildlife and a source of cultural and historical identity, preserving the spirit of Galloway’s ancient landscapes.

From fertile valleys to wild highlands, Galloway’s terrain is as varied as it is beautiful, shaping both the lives of its people and the character of the kingdom itself.
Highest Peak: The Merrick, 843 meters
Lowest Valley: Mull of Galloway, -175 meters
Climate: Galloway enjoys a temperate oceanic climate, marked by mild winters, comfortably warm summers, and steady rainfall throughout the year. The nearby Gulf Stream plays a key role in keeping the region warmer than other areas at similar northern latitudes, allowing for thriving agriculture and vibrant coastal communities.

This moderate climate also contributes to Galloway’s lush landscapes, from rolling farmlands in Dumfriesshire to the rugged coastline of Wigtownshire. The consistent weather patterns support both traditional industries, like farming and fishing, and modern sectors, including shipbuilding and arcane technology.

Whether it’s the gentle winter mists or the long summer evenings, Galloway’s climate shapes life, work, and culture across the kingdom.

Economy
Description: Galloway’s economy is a dynamic blend of advanced industry, maritime trade, and strategic royal investment. The kingdom’s economic activity is concentrated in Wigtownshire and Dumfriesshire, where bustling ports, industrial centers, and fertile farmland form the foundation of prosperity.

Shipbuilding along the coast supports both commercial shipping and the kingdom’s naval capabilities, while agriculture provides essential food supplies and export goods. In recent decades, Galloway has also become a hub for arcane technology, combining traditional craftsmanship with magical innovation to create products ranging from advanced machinery to enchanted tools.

The Crown plays a central role in economic development, funding large-scale infrastructure projects, supporting research in both industrial and arcane fields, and fostering strong trade relationships with major international markets, particularly through alliances with Glasgow and Uppsala.

This combination of natural resources, skilled labor, technological innovation, and strategic investment allows Galloway to maintain a resilient and forward-looking economy, capable of sustaining its people, defending its sovereignty, and projecting influence on the global stage.

Industries: Galloway has long been known for its industrial strength, with steel production and a cutting-edge military-industrial sector at the forefront. Steel mills in Ayrshire and Kirkcudbrightshire supply high-quality materials both for domestic use and international export, forming the backbone of construction, infrastructure projects, and defense manufacturing.

The kingdom’s military-industrial complex is a world-class operation. Major facilities in Wigtown and Ayr produce tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, small arms, and naval vessels, making Galloway a key player in global defense markets. These industries are supported by abundant natural resources, including coal and iron mining, as well as nuclear energy, which powers both civilian and military production.

Agriculture remains an important part of the economy, with farms supplying food for local consumption and export. Civilian industries such as construction, logistics, and food processing provide stability and employment, complementing the heavy industries that define Galloway’s economic identity.

Together, these sectors create a balanced and resilient economy, allowing Galloway not only to maintain its national infrastructure and defense capabilities but also to exert influence through trade and industry on the international stage.

History: Galloway’s Military History and Tradition

Galloway’s military roots stretch back over a millennium, beginning with the Celtic Wars, when local clans defended their lands against foreign invaders and rival kingdoms. These early campaigns forged a reputation for resilience, adaptability, and strategic ingenuity that has carried through the centuries.

The kingdom’s modern military identity, however, was shaped most decisively during the War of Liberation (2095–2114). After decades under Deiran occupation, Galloway’s forces were rebuilt from the ground up, blending guerrilla tactics learned in exile with conventional warfare strategies. Leaders like Talorc mac Achiuir and allied commanders from Strathclyde and the Highlands played pivotal roles, establishing doctrines emphasizing mobility, mechanized firepower, and combined-arms coordination.

Following independence, Galloway invested heavily in defense infrastructure. Wigtown and Ayr became hubs for advanced military production, with factories manufacturing tanks, self-propelled artillery, naval vessels, and aerospace systems. The Royal Armories of Wigtown preserved centuries of craftsmanship while innovating in modern munitions, armor, and small arms. Meanwhile, the Wigtown Naval Yards expanded Galloway’s coastal capabilities, producing frigates, patrol ships, and submarines that defend the kingdom’s strategic waterways.

The army evolved into a heavily mechanized force capable of rapid deployment across varied terrain, while the navy ensures control of key ports and shipping lanes. Support industries—local steel mills, coal mines, and nuclear energy facilities—sustain the military-industrial complex, which remains both a pillar of national security and a source of international influence.

Galloway’s defense strategy is also intertwined with its global partnerships. As a core member of the Glasgow alliance, the kingdom contributes to joint operations, intelligence-sharing, and arms development, ensuring that its forces remain technologically advanced and strategically relevant in a complex, interconnected world.

Through centuries of conflict, innovation, and alliances, Galloway has transformed from a region of scattered clans into a modern military power, proud of its heritage and vigilant in defending its sovereignty
