Kingdom of Welig Kreke (Willow Creek)

Introduction
Welig Kreke was founded by human King Julian Ainsworth, and his spellcaster wife, Queen Caroline Ainsworth. Prior to the establishing of the Ainsworth royal family, Julian was but a poor farm boy. Life was hard in Welig Kreke under the tyrannical rule of King Friedrich Truett. King Friedrich abused his power, and exploited the people of the land. The divide between the nobles and commoners was stark and the nobles practiced discrimination, corruption and slavery. The common folk were exploited, forced to pay high taxes and some are taken as slaves. Julian, from a young age, had incredible foresight and intuition. He was born to be a King but was stuck as a poor farm boy, vulnerable to persecution, and couldn't do anything.

It all changed however, when Julian met Caroline. Call it fate, or luck, but meeting Caroline was the turning point in Julian's life and the for the country. Caroline had come from the fallen ancient magical realm of Etherealis, and wanted to rebuild a place in the human realm for spellcasters to live peacefully. It was opportunity that brought Julian and Caroline together and made Welig Kreke a success. The Spellcasters assisted the commoners to overthrow the tyrant king and Julian was crowned King, with Caroline his Queen.

Because of the spellcaster's role in securing the throne, a pact was made between Julian, representing the Humans, and Caroline, representing the Spellcasters, that the spellcasters and humans will share the kingdom in harmony. Privately, it became a rule that the royal family must always have ancient bloodline spellcasters in it and supporting it. This was to ensure the stability and peace of the Kingdom. As Caroline is an immortal, she would safeguard the throne and the kingdom even after Julian's death, until the next Ancient Sage spellcaster of her bloodline takes over from her (this was one reason why she had high hopes for Prince Lucian, as he was the only one who inherited her fire magic affinity and talent).

Demographics
Humans and Spellcasters live peacefully in Welig Kreke. Spellcasters are a minority, however a very powerful minority. About 30% of the population are spellcasters, with the noble families being pureblood spellcasters, or mixed blood spellcasters. Use of magic by spellcasters are not forbidden in Welig Kreke but they cannot be used for mischief against humans. The nobles have a duty to ensure that other spellcasters do not break these rules. Hence, it is a silent rule that nobles must be of ancient or strong bloodlines.

Spellcasters still have access to the ruins of Etherealis, where the magic HQ is. That is where spellcasters can use their full powers and do whatever they want.
