―Description

The Charming Kingdom is the main source of technology, lumber and medicine as this place is where the HQ of most of the big tech companies are and the place where many lumberjacks and medicine makers live.

History
In 992 (Otherworld), The Southern Kingdom was founded at the first days of the Dragon Age by Champion I, the last ruler of this dynasty was Gallivant XII, nicknamed Seven/Wicked Gallivant, who was assassinated by Barberus I, who would start the next dynasty.

Now, this dynasty for the Southern Kingdom had some good kings, but all of them didn’t live for very long, the last king from this era, Barberus VI, was as tyrannical as Gallivant XII, and forgot about Barberus V’s oath that this dynasty will re-legalize female reading but worsened it by making every woman that read a single book get hanged underwater with a sack over the head. But he died as well and that marked the start of the Charming Kingdom. Here is some details.

A simple soldier and descendants of the Champion Kings named Kurt Charming, who was empowered by a tinderbox and money from a tree, asked to see how to woo Barberus’ daughter, Olivia. The Southernians said she was quarantined away in a copper palace and virtually impossible to reach. So he struck the tinderbox and out came the three dogs with huge eyes that guarded the money he took. Kurt asked them to bring Princess Olivia to him and they did but the third time they did that, they were tracked and Kurt was thrown into prison. He then payed a shoemaker’s apprentice who then brought him his tinderbox and as his last wish, Kurt was allowed to smoke a cigar and then he stroke and all three dogs came out and attacked Barberus, his wife, Cecelia, and the court and killed them all, and in the end. Olivia, after seeing her abusive parents getting killed by the dogs, decided to marry Kurt.

Two years into Kurt’s reign, Olivia gave birth to his heir, Carlos, later, they had 3 more children. Kurt’s children’s children and their children and their children and their children all ruled various kingdoms. But now, here’s how modern day Charming Kingdom was like.

About 400 years later. Prince Chester Charming, the son of Nicholas and Emma Charming and Kurt’s great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandchildren and the 7th generation Charming King, married a girl named Clarice and had 4 children together, Chance, Chase, Chandler, and Charles (Charlie), one day. Charlie was turned into a frog by an evil witch named Morina and went into hiding and caused his brothers to search for him. They didn’t find him but Chase and Chandler managed to find Sleeping Beauty’s tower in the Eastern Kingdom (then Sleeping Kingdom) and Snow White’s coffin in the Dwarf Forests respectively and after a kissing period, they quickly fell in love and married, giving both Chase and Chandler kingdoms to rule. When Chance returned, he still needed a queen/Princess for that and threw several balls, but he had no luck. At last, he met Cinderella and a ball and after tracking her down using her slipper. They were married soon and Chance became king shortly after due to Chester dying from natural causes.

Nowadays Chance, Chase, and Chandler all have heirs being Princesses Hope and Ash and twin Princes Chris and Chad Charming.

In 2006, like all of the Land of Stories. The Charming Kingdom was technologicalized by a ray from the Otherworld colliding onto a ray of magic.

From 2006-2020, the Charming Kingdom was at total peace despite a criminal organization out there. It is the richest kingdom in the Land of Stories followed by Center, Northern, and Eastern.
