The Kingdom of Sapin is the largest and most populated region of Dicathen. Located on the eastern border of the continent (western as seen in illustrations)[Citation needed]
, the kingdom is primarily composed of humans, but there are also numerous merchants from the Dwarven race, trading many commodities. Moreover, Sapin has a symbiotic relationship with the Kingdom of Darv when it comes to resources.[1]
Natural Formations[]
The Grand Mountains
- Between the Forest of Elshire and the Kingdom of Sapin lies the Grand Mountain range which spans across roughly 90% of the continent, separating the North and East from the West and South. This mountain range is the place where Arthur Leywin and his family were attacked by a group of bandits.[2] The mountain range is reinforced with walls strecthing in between the peaks, with a fortress known as the Wall serving as a stronghold, located just a bit south from Xyrus City.
Mirror Lake
- A large lake located in the middle of Sapin. The village Kalberk lies on its shore.
Sehz River
- A long river stretching from the sea by the Kingdom of Darv's southern coast. It branches of into several rivers in Sapin, one of which leads to Mirror Lake. The Sehz River and the Sehz canal acts as a natural border, seperting Darv from Sapin.
Geography[]
Sapin has lush forsets, mountains, plains and grasslands along with several rivers stretching through the kingdom. The Sehz River and the Sehz canal, along with the Grand Mountains, serves as natural barriers seperating the Kingdom of Sapin from the Kingdom of Darv and the Kingdom of Elenoir, as well as the Beast Glades.

Government[]
The Kingdom of Sapin is a monarchy, which is ruled by the Glayder Family.
Human Royalty[]
Human Royalty is dressed in fine clothing with golden accessories across their attire, signifying their wealth. Both the king and queen wear crowns on top of their heads.[3]
- The Royal Council
- Following Arthur's retaking of Dicathen from Alacrya, Curtis eventually forms a royal council to help him and his sister rule the kingdom. Most members are high-ranking lords and ladies chosen for their status and influence, the exception being miss Dee Mountbatten who was chosen by the common folk as their representative.[4]
List of Members of the Royal Council
| Curtis Glayder | Kathyln Glayder | Florian Glayder | Otto Benyir | Jackun Maxwell | Abrham Astor | Vesta Lambert | Dee Mountbatten |

High Council of Sapin[]
Following the Confluence and the end of the war with Alacrya, the royal council evolves into the High Council of Sapin which comes to act as the new governing body of the kingdom. It consists of representatives from all major cities in Sapin.[5]
Its known members are as follows:
- Kathyln Glayder representing Etistin.
- Kaspian Bladeheart representing Blackbend. Note: Referred to as Blackburn in chapter 528, possible spelling mistake.
- Astera Alderman representing Kalberk.
- Lilia Helstea representing Xyrus City.
Human Warriors[]
The Royal Knight Guards were Knight armour[6] and seem to be Augmenters, except for Sebastian who was not only a Conjurer, but also dressed differently from the rest.
Hierarchy[]
This kingdom is a place of discrimination and classification. The hierarchical roots imbedded into this land would never truly disappear. Normal humans were considered second-rate people, while even amongst mages, augmenters were discriminated against by conjurers. It went further than that where, unless one was a deviant or a dual element specialist, some elements were considered "higher class" than others.[7]
Slavery is still a thing in the Kingdom of Sapin unlike Arthur’s past world where slavery was abolished hundreds of years ago.[8]
There also exists a division between nobles and commoners in this country.
Customs[]
Apparently, when meeting someone of high standing, it was customary to get on one knee and shake the hand, while bowing.[9]
Although it isn’t against the law, only the nobility and the royal families tend to have multiple wives.[10]
Education[]
There was no mandatory form of a structured education system in the Kingdom of Sapin. Any sort of rudimentary education was provided by one’s own family. (just basics like reading and writing).[11]
Currency[]
Copper Coins, Silver Coins, Gold Coins and White-Gold Tablets are used as currency in the Kingdom of Sapin.
Copper was the lowest form of currency, then silver, followed by gold. Normal families seemed to be able to live off of a couple copper coins a day just fine.[12]
100 Copper Coins = 1 Silver Coin
100 Silver Coins = 1 Gold Coin
1000 Gold Coins = 1 White-Gold Tablet
Back in Ashber, ten silver coins were more than enough to feed a family of four for a year. Of course, there were obviously luxury foods that totaled astronomical amounts, but simply by going off of that standard, one hundred silver coins, which amounted to a single gold coin, would be more than enough to feed a family of four for ten years.[8]
