Culture

Valtoria is the principal maritime kingdom of the Realm of Alagor , famed for its naval dominance, expansive dock infrastructure, and resilient, sea-hardened people. Known for a culture steeped in discipline, protocol, and precision, Valtorians place high value on loyalty, craftsmanship, and survivability. Isolationist in reputation but not hostile, Valtoria’s people tend to be quiet, composed, and intensely loyal to their Queen.

Culturally, Valtoria celebrates the Everdeep Cycle, a seasonal festival honoring the tides, fate, and ancestral endurance. Storytelling, etched carvings, and sea-sung ballads are part of traditional Valtorian identity. The seahorse—a graceful creature that endures turbulent waters—is often invoked in their proverbs and warrior poetry.

2. Sea-Watch Fortresses

  • The coasts are dotted with bastion towers and listening posts—many built pre-Empire—meant to detect incursions or protect from piracy.
  • Their unique “Stormsteel Hull” vessels are considered top-tier for harsh-weather durability.

Military

Valtoria's military is structured around naval supremacy and coastal defense, with limited but elite land forces.

  • Royal Valtorian Fleet: The most advanced naval force in Alagor, prized for maneuverability in icy or storm-churned waters.
  • Frostclad Wardens: Elite marines trained for cliff assaults, cold-weather warfare, and coastal operations.
  • Skyborne Lookouts: Ballista and drone-watch crews trained to identify air-based incursions across fogbanks and blizzards.
  • Garrison Code: Valtoria maintains mandatory training for all coastal citizens—wartime conscription is seamless.

Though Valtoria is allowed to keep it's own internal defense, it is still require to rotate their soliders with the Azure Vanguard to keep their autonomous military as a show of Loyal to the Empire.
