Fanelia



"Looks like Fanelia is being turned into a modernized nation by Azeroth, Erathia and the Order Empire before joining the Grand Alliance. Also, you might remember about a fabled god of protection named Ispano Guymelef. However, when Zaibach tried to siege this nation, we'll try to defend this nation too."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Fires of Fanelia

Fanelia is considered an otherwise unremarkable country of farmers and townpeople, although its legendary god of protection is a fabled Ispano Guymelef. However, the Guymelef captures the attention of the Zaibach emperor Dornkirk, and an encounter between Fanelia's young king-to-be Van and a girl from the Mystic Moon bring this country into the forefront of events affecting the entire world.

A small kingdom, it is a land of opposites. It is prosperous yet sparsely populated. It also has skilled warriors but has a very small standing army too, plus its kings rise to power in a brutal ritual of dragon slaying, yet are often wise and well-respected. Fanelia is often seen as a very cozy rest stop for travelers as it has breath taking scenery and a very kindly people.

The models for Fanelia on Earth are Asian countries, particularly Meiji-era Japan. The motif of its crest represents the stylized head of a flying dragon.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, it's modernized by Azeroth, Erathia and the Order Empire and also joined by the Grand Aliance.
