The Shield Kingdoms (also called Shelter Kingdoms[1] or Shield Nations[2]) are an ancient institution of Chandrar, that fought against the Dragons rule.
History
During Chandrar ancient times, when Dragons had came to rule the continent with force, 17 of Chandrar's nations had the will to raise up to resist them, and eventually overthrown them. Each nation who did battle with the Dragons would later take on the name of Shield Kingdom, and the duty to shield against the tyrants’ return.
The Shield Kingdoms then formed a bond, and a pledge that no Shield Kingdom would ever march to war on another. That oath would fail within a decade, but a greater alliance would be made; that even if a Shield Kingdom should oppose another, they should not perish. Each Shield Kingdom should at least endeavor to keep the others alive. That some might be left when Dragons return. And they did.
Dragons would came 2 more times only to be fought off by the Shield Kingdoms. And the Shield Kingdoms would even rally for other causes, like when the world was crawling with Crelers, the Shield Kingdoms stood against them.
Eventually, from the 17 Shield Kingdoms, 13 of them would either fall apart, were destroyed by calamity or simple foolishness—their protections turned out to be less than perfect. Only 4 would remain, by chance as much as trust.[3]
