Leonster (Lenster in the Japanese version) is one of the five castles of the Manster District, and it is where the descendants of the Crusader Noba reside.
Its Lance Ritter knight brigade, dubbed the "Wall of Leonster", is where most of the Manster District's strength comes from, and it is thanks to it that the Manster District has resisted Thracia's consecutive invasions. However, after the Yied Massacre, half of Leonster's lance knight brigade is decimated, Prince Cuan and his wife Ethlin are killed, and the Gae Bolg is lost, so Thracia is able to successfully able to conquer the Manster District, and perhaps as a symbolic measure, Thracia burns Leonster Castle.
Soon afterward, the Kingdom of Grandbell (soon to be the Grandbell Empire) invades the Manster District, and forces Thracia into a peace treaty in which Grandbell annexes the Manster District, including Leonster Castle, and the country is renamed the Northern Kingdom of Thracia.
Prince Leif eventually manages to free Leonster Castle from the grip of the empire, but King Bloom of Freege, who is in Alster Castle, resists Leif's attempts to oust him, and most of Leif's fighting force is decimated, thus Leif has to hold out in Leonster Castle till Seliph's army is able to attack Alster Castle.
After Seliph's army defeats the Grandbell Empire, Leonster is made the capital of the New Kingdom of Thracia, under the newly King Leif.
