The Former United States of America - circa 2040
Kingdom of the Dosneni
The Kingdom of Dosneni comprises the former states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. This region was the first that the Federation of American States recognized as being an independent country through the Rocky Mountains Rift Treaty of 2037, during the Great Incursion. The original treaty also ceded the former states of Montana and Wyoming, however, the Kingdom of Dosneni formally declared those states as part of the Freed Indigenous Lands in another treaty with the native peoples of those states.
The Kingdom of Dosneni is an absolute monarchy ruled by Mathias Vernissac, Patriarch and Lord Master of the Dosneniiot. The Dosneniiot is one of the 12 known powerful vampire clans. King Vernissac is considered a demon lord of vampires making the Kingdom of Dosneni the only country in North America to be ruled by demons.
The Dosneniiot were not part of the initial demonic invasion during the Great Incursion in 2032. They came to power in that region by arriving as saviors to the populace of the area. The Dosneniiot offered protection from the other demons in exchange for the fealty of people of the region. Any town that did not comply faced destruction leading many to agree to the loyalty compacts. As a part of these compacts the towns were forced to give up a portion of their young adults to serve the Dosneniiot as thralls.
The Kingdom of Dosneni operates similarly to European feudal states with a nobility system. Under King Vernissac there are six dukes which all rule a different region of the country and a series of marquis, earls, counts, barons, and other minors lords beneath them dividing up the labor. There are numerous “commoner” vampires that all serve the vampire nobility in some capacity and were turned into vampires by them - any vampire that is not of Dosneni clan or an invited guest is slayed upon discovery. At the bottom of the vampire hierarchy there are the thralls or the humans charmed or otherwise willingly serving the vampires. Yet, finally, there are the free humans who live their lives normally. Though the Kingdom of Dosneni does limit technology in favor of magic and many people turned back to agricultural work but their lives are not so different from those in the Federal States. The Federation of American States continues its peace treaty with the Kingdom of Dosneni and has trade treaties with them as well. Vampires from the Kingdom of Dosneni in the Federal States are some of the few to be protected by law as per our treaty rights. However, it is known that members of the anti-monster hate group known as the Dark Slayers have targeted Dosneni vampires and their embassy straining the relationship between our two nations.
