The eastern kingdom — a vast, culturally diverse land of mountain cities and port towns where art, trade, and organized crime flourish in equal measure.
Mistral is the largest kingdom by territory and the most contradictory by nature. Its capital is a tiered city built into mountainsides — upper levels of elegant pagodas, tea houses, and art galleries descending into lower levels of black markets, fight clubs, and information brokers. The kingdom's reach extends across a continent of varied terrain — wind-swept plains, bamboo forests, tropical coastlines — connected by trade routes that are as profitable for bandits as merchants. Haven Academy sits in the capital, though under Headmaster Lionheart's cowardly leadership it has been quietly hollowed out — students disappearing on missions, Huntsman registries leaked to Salem's agents. Mistral's council knows something is wrong but not what. The kingdom's greatest strength is its diversity; its greatest weakness is that nobody agrees on anything long enough to address the rot.
A vast kingdom spanning the continent of Anima, encompassing everything from coastal trading ports to remote mountain villages. The capital city rises in tiers up a mountainside with Eastern-inspired pagoda architecture, wooden bridges, and terraced gardens overlooking misty valleys. Known for its diverse culture, thriving black markets in the lower levels, and artistic traditions. The countryside is beautiful but dangerous — vast stretches of Grimm-infested wilderness between settlements.
Also known as: Mistral, the Kingdom of Mistral
