The Kingdom of Helio

North-western kingdom

Helio is Kaladria’s largest kingdom, occupying the north-west and known for fertile vineyards and olive gardens. Its resources and scale make it important in continental politics. Together with Agabah, it declared war on Lindsey after Victor attacked the Tower and broke the Treaty of Hope; the two states divided Lindsey’s lands.

Houses and capital

House Dion rose through mercantile strength, bringing Helio’s noble influence to the School through Sophia. Volume II adds the walled capital of Atlus, where Shun and Mimi arrive by shadow.

Wider role

Helio does not intervene in Hikari’s succession war, but Atlus shows that Tower events can enter its territory. The kingdom remains one of the human powers shaped by the Treaty settlement.
