Yalmara

Yalmara is a prosperous island state and Kingdom within the Valiant Sphere, it is also the hub of the du Fleur Empire. Yalmara is famous for its natural resources, especially the Yalamara Lake one of the 11 Wonders of the Valiant Sphere.

It is a nation constantly at battle with Mystic over territory and satellite states, Yalmara has successfully taken several regions away from Mystic being seen as heroes that release the tyrannous rule of the Archduke Ragnar Bolton. This stems from the long history between the ruling families of Yalmara and the ascended nobles of Mystic which all share a common ancestry. It's current King is Charles du Fleur IV, with Lionel du Fleur as it's Crown Prince.

Overview
A lot of Yalamara likens to the French Renaissance, to the point where they've taken on French as a second-first language as oppose to a traditional second language. The culture prides itself on principals of artistic expression and beauty. The Valiant Sphere's most famous artists, architectures and any expression artistic merit mainly come from Yalmara.

The Kingdom and it's empire are powerful, they boast some of the most powerful military forces known to the world. Awakening is particularly common in Yalmara, particular the awakening of Mages (much to this dismay of the King).

Du Fleur
The Du Fleur family is the Royal Family of Yalmara, and has been since it became an independent Kingdom away from Mystic. They are a powerful family of Sages distinguishable by their hollow eyes and snow white hair.

The du Fleur are descendants of the ascended nobles who rule Mystic, Bolton blood rooted in their ancestry and this is why look so poorly upon dragons and sages. They also have an ancestor which possessed the Tenseigan which is where their famed all seeing Byakugan came from. A culture exists within the royal family, to detest magic and mages as a whole as a constant middle finger to their distant cousins in mystic. This developed bad tensions an relations between the once close du Fleur and Crozier family and now a family rivalry rooted in jealously and hate exists between the two.
 * Fleurees: The Fleurees are in essence the cousins of the du Fleur family, it is the name given to descendants of Kristina du Fleur who cannot ascend to the throne. They are the family responsible for the cultivation and agricultural process of Blue Lilly.

Crozier
The Crozier Family or Crozier Dynasty is the ruling family of the Duchy of Dolomieux, and serving vassals to their rival du Fleur Family of the Kingdom of Yalamara. Headed by Rolin Crozier, the family is segregated into a Main Family, and Branch Family. The current heir is Remi Crozier.

Crozier are born with a majority percentage Awakening rate, with a 100% Mage Awakening probability. Croziers are blessed with extremely potent Magical Energy, or Mana and natural combative prowess compared to the common crop of Awakened. This is a passive effect attributed to the Curse of Mirghan by its members. As of the continental academy's opening, the family's greatest performing member is sent out following their coming of age.

Flower Capital
The Capital city of Yalmara, think like a really bougie French Renaissance Paris. They got the Royal Palace and a lot of other big city stuff that I'm sure tourists love.

Yalmara Lake
The Yalamara Lake is not actually a lake but is actually a cove of ancient flowers known as Blue Lily, The Blue Lily are powerful flowers said to be a be able to capture a person's inner self and their connection to the realm. They are the reverse of White Sapphire. If White Sapphire covers everything that is physical, Blue Lily covers everything that isn't physical about a person.

History
Yalmara started off a a tortured satellite state of Mystic, an island who's resources were plundered by the ruling Boltons. The du Fleur ancestor, who was a Bolton at the time abandoned her position within the family and her country to fend for a small island away from the main continent within the Valiant Sphere.

The Boltons desired a rare supernatural plant found only on the island, hoping to enslave the indigenous population and use their harvesting techniques to reap the maximum benefits of the plant's mystical prowess. Kristina Bolton, waged war on her family taking a contingent of her supporters with her; namely the ancestors to the Crozier family, a mage family capable of rivaling the Boltons in their own right. The campaign to protect the small island was successful, Kristina was named Queen and she named the land Yalmara swearing to the people that as long as her lineage continued she would protect Yalmara from all that would do against it. She took the name du Fleur meaning from flower as a reminder and omen and the legacy of Queen Kristina du Fleur.
