Oriana Kingdom

Oriana Kingdom is the kingdom where the Oriana royal family lives and is known as the "Country of Art".

History
The kingdom was first founded by the Oriana royal family. Either prior or after Oriana's foundation, the "Black Rose" was discovered, a gateway that can allowed access to other dimensions.

At some point, the Oriana Kingdom was at war with the Vegalta Empire. About to suffer crushing defeat, the Oriana Kingdom activated the "Black Rose", killing 100,000 Vegalta soldiers who were sieging the capital. Unfortunately, this horribly backfired on them as the Black Rose would connect to the 4th Realm, unleashing wild magical beasts onto the kingdom. The magical beasts turned their sights on Oriana and proceeded to slaughter the kingdom and its populace. It's only due to the interference of the Cult of Diablos that the "Black Rose" was closed and the kingdom was saved.

To repay the cult, the Oriana Kingdom must offer two things to them. First, was the Oriana Royal Family giving up to the cult their children whose blood might have high magic potential. Second, was that the kingdom were to give a majority of their tax revenue to them, resulting in the kingdom to heavily invest on the arts. With the cult manipulating the church to vilify Dark Knights, Oriana had no manpower to rebel against them and they became basically a puppet kingdom.

17 years earlier in the present, the current king of Oriana, Raphael sired his daughter, Rose. However, Raphael refused to hand over his daughter to the cult and decided to find ways to free his kingdom from their oppressive control.

Present day, when Rose expressed her interests in taking up swordsmanship, Raphael allowed her to travel to Midgar Kingdom and attended their academy in the secret hope to protect her from harm. Knowing he doesn't have much time left before the cult retaliated, King Oriana took possession of the "Ring of Succession", which was actually the key to the "Black Rose", and altered it so that the gateway could only be activated by Rose. Not only that, the ring would have a recording of the king's full confession on the cult's crimes.

When King Oriana was murdered at Midgar during the God of War Fastival, a civil war took place within the kingdom between those still loyal to the Oriana royal family and those that wanted Doem Ketsuhat become king. The civil war ended when Rose returned to her kingdom and activated the "Ring of Succession" that exposed the Cult of Diablos and their collaborators' crimes.

The 9th Seat Knights of Rounds, Mordred activated the "Black Rose" to unleash the magical beasts and the Grand Ruler of the Fourth Realms, Ragnarok in order to kill everyone in Oriana so that the cult can take control of what's left of the kingdom. Thankfully, Rose and her Shadow Garden allies wiped out the magical beasts with the Shadow Garden's leader destroying not only Mordred but also the Black Rose, finally ending the Oriana Kingdom's nightmare.

After the incident, Shadow's right hand, Alpha immediately rush over to the Oriana Kingdom, after hearing that Shadow and Beta getting sucked into the "Black Rose" to take charge of the damage control operation by rebuilding the capital and making a decision for Rose about her own kingdom situation.

However, the cult are afraid that their operating activities would be exposed to the world by allowing the Oriana Kingdom to exist. Thus, they managed to minimize Shadow Garden's gains by using the Holy Church power from behind the scenes to create a faux story about the new queen being a patricide by summoning the "Black Rose" in the first place making the nation becoming a heretic state, which resulting the Oriana Kingdom is cutting off all alliances with another nation, and their country's trade severely restricted.

The Cult of Diablos are immediately to gathered a large numbers of troops from the neighboring nation for "The Inquisition", with their orders to conquer the Oriana Kingdom until its complete annihilation, in order to wipe out any traces of the Cult's activity that existed in Oriana.

Hearing this news, Shadow Garden are moving their plans on Oriana Kingdom by making Rose Oriana as the new Queen because they need a nation to stands in their place and will support her from the shadows, in order to destroy the Cult of Diablos. Also, they are expanding their based within the kingdom for the fight between the Oriana Kingdom and the Holy Church, which was an intermediary war between the Shadow Garden and the Cult of Diablos.

Culture
As their other title suggests, the Oriana Kingdom devoted their time pursuing arts and crafts such as painting, music, theater, embroidery and sculpting. Anything else like swordsmanship is met with ridicule.
