Kingdom of Live Oak

The Kingdom of Live Oak was a small nation toward the southwestern corner of the continent of Oviedo. The country and its leader Queen Ellie would play a significant role in the Greystone War and shape the future of Oviedo.

Background
Founded many centuries before the Greystone War, Live Oak was ruled by a lineage of monarchs, and its size and scope of ruling power changed little during its history.

Ellie became ruler of Live Oak following the untimely death of her parents.

The Greystone War
Ellie had long feared that Colton would seek to break the peace that held Oviedo together, yet had little ability to stop it.

With a laughably small army in comparison to Colton's, Ellie recruited Pradheep and his friends to fight a guerrilla campaign against Colton, an effort that would eventually prove successful.

Transition into the Continental Empire
After Colton's defeat, all of the kingdoms that once controlled Oviedo were either destroyed or crippled beyond repair. Seeing this as an opportunity to finally expand, Ellie chose to annex all of Oviedo, crowning herself the first queen of the Continental Oviedo Empire.

Politics
The country was an absolute monarchy in which all power remained with its ruler. The most notable monarch of the country, Ellie, would often consult her most trusted aides, handmaiden Tori and spymaster Jwong before making governing decisions.

Military
The country had a small military, usually attributed to its small population and poor budgeting by its ruler. During the Greystone War Conor and Joey were promoted to captains of the knights. Davis was lead of the castle guard. By the war's conclusion Ryan became captain of the military's archers.
