The Eastern part of the Munster District, seen alongside the northern reaches of Thracia in Chapter 8.

The Munster District (マンスター地方, Mansutā Chihō) was founded around the same time the Kingdom of Grannvale, near the time of the Gran Calendar Year 649, and since its creation, it has repelled many attempts by the Kingdom of Thracia to be conquered, thanks to the Lance Ritter knight brigade of Leonster, known as the "Wall of Leonster", although all of the castles of the Munster District have their own separate military force.

The Four Kingdoms of the Munster District[]

Story[]

During the Gran Calendar Year 761, the Aed Massacre occurs, which results in the death of Leonster's Prince Quan, his wife Ethlyn, and half of Leonster's lance knight brigade at the hands of Travant. After this, Thracia is able to successfully invade and subdue the Munster District completely under the reign of King Travant during the Gran Calendar Year 762.

The Kingdom of Grannvale decides to invade the Thracian Peninsula, and Grannvale, after defeating Thracia, forces them into a peace treaty in which the former Munster District is annexed by Grannvale. During the time of the Second Generation, King Bloom is the king of the Munster District appointed by the Grannvale Empire, and decides to place the capital at Ulster Castle, and the Munster District is renamed the Northern Kingdom of Thracia.

The Munster District is liberated in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War during Chapter 7 and Chapter 8. At the end of Chapter 8, Thracia decides to seize the opportunity to invade the Munster District again, but is stopped by Seliph's army during Chapter 9. After Seliph's army finally defeats the Grannvale Empire, Leif, with the assistance of Altena, successfully combines the Munster District and Thracia into the New Kingdom of Thracia, and becomes its new king.

Geography[]

Most of the Munster District is located on the Thracian Peninsula, east of Grannvale, north of Thracia, and southeast of the Aed Desert. The coastal plains and cliffs east of a mountain range belonging to Grannvale and south of the Aed Desert are also controlled by the Munster District. Melgen Valley is located in the south of this area and is home to an eponymous castle fortress. On the Peninsula, the castle of Ulster is located in the southern-central Munster District, the castle of Leonster is located in the northern Munster District, the castle of Conote is located in the northeastern Munster District, and the castle of Munster is located in the eastern-central Munster District. The capital of the Munster District is Leonster, where the Lance Ritter and the descendants of Crusader Njörun are located.

The Munster District is described as having fertile plains suitable for farming, to the noted envy of their rocky Thracian neighbors. The Great River of Thracia brings prosperity and protection to this area, being both an important resource for industry and a strategic defensive point. A land of green grass surrounded by mountains or sea, this coalition of kingdoms maintains control of their territory via the threat of military retaliation.
