Editing Kingdom of Svart

{{Big Data Lab query|{{PAGENAME}}}}

The Kingdom of Svart is unlike the rest of modern Europe in that the [[Church of Svart]]--led by the King--and the country's nobility still maintain political and economic power. This has led to criticism about the country's "constitutional monarchy" as neither comprehensive nor absolute.<ref>[[Main Story 08-03]]</ref>

Svart leads a diplomatic union of countries; known members of this union include [[Nation A]].<ref>[[Lost Gold Story 04-06]]</ref>

Because Svart's winters involve hard snow, winter activities such as building snowmen are important to the children of Svart.<ref name="vyncardSFT">[[Vyn "Snowy Fairy Tale"]]</ref>

[[Vyn Richter]]'s unnamed hometown has several known traditions:

* There is a hunt every fall. Hunters are required to camp outdoors and gather all required food and water from the hunting grounds on their own.<ref>[[Lost Gold Vyn Investigation 02-01]]</ref>
* A Christmas fair is held from Christmas Eve to Boxing Day.<ref>[[Xmas Partyland Event]]</ref>
* A harvest festival with open-air stalls, parades of people in traditional clothing, and reenactments of mythological fables. Smoked salmon and cheesecake are specialty dishes of the festival, which culminates in a dance around the bonfire with folk songs sung by attendees.<ref name="vyncardSFT" />

==Current Residents==
* '''Carl''': A world champion professional magician. He travels on global tours to put on his shows, with the most recent being an international award-winning ''Alice in Wonderland'' themed show called "Mad Alice," marked by rapidly changing background scenes that show her descent into madness while masking Carl's tricks. His performance in [[Stellis]] caused a local popularity boom for magic.<ref>[[Vyn "Lingering Warmth"]]</ref>
* '''Manfred''': A professional polo player and friend of Ragnar. In addition to his skills in polo, he's able to play the violin.<ref>[[Vyn "Gentleman's Game"]]</ref>

-* One romantic tradition of Svart is the casting of drift bottles into the sea. Any couple who does so is said to be blessed by the sea, which is a belief originating in a legend of an immortal fairy living in a drifting bottle who fell in love with a human girl. When the woman died, her last wish was to be buried at sea, and the fairy sealed himself in the bottle to be with her forever.<ref>[[A Wish in the Light Event/Travel Wish III]]</ref>
