Rune-Midgarts is a vast southern kingdom that contains many city-states. 

Its capital is the city of Prontera.

The empire is ruled by King Vesper.

It spans the east side of the Midgard continent.

 The kingdom follows the Odin Orthodoxy and includes the land south of the Mt. Mjolnir range.

Various cultures have developed over the years with the help of the love of freedom the people have. The annual martial arts festival, held in the honor of their god Odin, is a famous event of Rune-Midgarts.

The kingdom is governed under two separate systems: the several different tribal and city nations that were unified are governed by a feudal lord, while the rest of the kingdom is ruled directly by the king.

Rune-Midgarts has an alliance with the Republic of Schwarzwald.

History

Age of Gods

Long ago, Jormungandr appeared and brought chaos to the continent. Seven warriors appeared and drove the serpent away, saving Midgard. With the return of peace, the 7 warriors established the Rune-Midgarts Kingdom and chose Vesper as the kingdom's first ruler. Seven royal families, each descended from one of the 7 warriors compete for the Rune-Midgarts throne to prevent royal corruption.

In A.W. 995, Fenris' sealed memories were released, prompting her to begin her search for Baldr's reincarnation. Two years passed before Fenris finds the god's reincarnation, who goes by the name Chaos.

In A.W. 997, an attempt was made to free Surt from his prison, but was thwarted by the efforts of the Assassins Guild.

By this time in the continent's history the satellite town of Izlude was formed and Morocc was destroyed by Surt.

It is assumed that around A.W. 1000, Chaos and his friends manage to defeat Freyja and her Valkyries, sealing Freyja away in her homeworld of Vanaheim. Thus, putting an end to the Age of Gods and beginning the Age of Man.

Age of Man

After the destruction of the Day of Despair, the Rune-Midgarts Kingdom as a whole was no more. In the aftermath of the Ragnarök catclysm, King Vesper set about rebuilding the kingdom. He soon became chosen as the first king of the revived Rune-Midgarts Kingdom in the Neu Era.

As time passed by, an opposition group have begun to form under the King Vesper's ruling. The opposition group's goal was a revolution, to oust the royal family line kingship and appoint a capable individual as the ruler. The members of the group were members of aristocrats who were in charge in handling the state affairs, which allowed them to quickly corner King Vesper.

Just then, a woman by the name of Lissur Anailuj successfully stopped the aristocrat's disturbances with the help of other aristocrats and helped set the kingdom back on the right track. As a direct result of this, the opposition group have lost the other aristocrats' backings and ended up creating a giant opposition team to fight against the king, Lissur and their sympathizers.

King Vesper goes missing after taking the royal guard captain and the knights beyond Mt. Mjolnir to scout the demons' movements. King Vesper possessed the holy sword, Balmung.

Losing both the King and the royal treasure proved to be a critical blow to the kingdom. In order to quell the growing uneasiness within the kingdom and keep the opposition in check, Queen Camil decided to find the King.

Queen Camil was exceptionally well versed in politics and offered advices to the King Vesper. With the combination of the queen's support and his own capabilities, King Vesper was able to calm the citizens and secure the throne.

Not long after, the former royal guard captain, Kirk Graham committed suicide. After his death, a shocking truth was revealed. Kirk Graham was behind King Vesper's disappearance. King Vesper valiantly fought the royal guard captain and prevailed. However, no one realized that the true mastermind behind the incident was the Freyjanity.
