Grandbell

Grandbell was a nation in the Second Age of tGA ruled by King Derek. It had the largest standing army in the world. Grandbell was once a just and fair kingdom until the sudden death of the King, where his young son, Derek, was appointed King. Derek could have been as honorable as his father, but he was young, shy, and naive when the crown was thrust upon him. Because of those characteristics, Derek was very susceptible to the whispers of the wizard, Taro Ofuchi.

Origins

Grandbell was a part of Cardia before the First Banishment.
