Thracia during Chapter 9
Thracia (トラキア) is a mountainous nation occupying the southern half of the Thracian Peninsula, south of the Manster District. It was founded by the Crusader Dain, the older brother of the Crusader Noba. Because of the region's rocky soil and hilly terrain, food is scarce and the people are often hungry. However, Thracia is the nation that ridable-sized dragons are native to. Thracian knights who ride the dragons are famous as mercenaries throughout Jugdral, and contribute substantially to the country's income. Thracians have tried many times over Jugdral's history to conquer the fertile Manster District in order to provide food for their families, but all of the major assaults have been repelled by Leonster's lance knight brigade, the Lance Ritter, colloquially known as the "Wall of Leonster", especially by the Thracians. At the onset of the game, Travant is king of Thracia.
History
The Kingdom of Thracia was founded around the same time the Kingdom of Grannvale, around the time of the Gran Calendar Year 649, and since its creation, it has tried to overthrow the Manster District. However, the "Wall of Leonster" successful repelled their consecutive invasions. However, during the Gran Calendar Year 761, the Yied Massacre occurs, which results in the death of Prince Quan, his wife Ethlyn, and half of Leonster's lance knight brigade at the hands of Travant, thus Thracia is able to successfully invade and subdue the Manster District completely under the reign of King Travant during the Gran Calendar Year 762, in which King Calf of Leonster was killed and betrayed by Raydrik of Conote during the Battle of River Thracia. However, the Kingdom of Grannvale later decides to invade the Thracian Peninsula, and Grannvale, after defeating Thracia, forces them into a peace treaty in which the former Manster District is annexed by Grannvale. During the time of Seliph's tale, Thracia decides to try to reinvade the Manster District after Seliph's army defeats King Bloom forces, but Seliph's army is able to stop the invasion, and during what is Chapter 9, Seliph's army is forced to invade and subdue the Kingdom of Thracia due to King Travant continuing to ally with Grannvale. After Seliph's army defeats the Grannvale Empire, Leif, with the assistance of Altena and Areone, successfully merges the Manster District and Thracia into the New Kingdom of Thracia and Leif becomes king.
