The Kingdom of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear (キムラスカ・ランバルディア王国 Kimurasuka Ranbarudia Oukoku?, "Kimlasca Lanvaldear Kingdom"), often shortened to Kimlasca (キムラスカ Kimurasuka?), is Auldrant's more technologically-advanced nation in Tales of the Abyss.
Geography[]
Kimlascan territory is comprised of the western half of Aberria, the large continent of Radessia, and the southern half of Rugnica. Its Aberrian territory is where its capital, Baticul lies, and it is home to the fon-tech city of Belkend, Port Belkend, and a large, swamp-like area known as Inista Marsh. Although Kimlasca owns the entirety of the Radessian continent, only a small portion of the wasteland continent is inhabited: Sheridan, Port Sheridan, and the hidden Nam Cobanda Isle. The Meggiora Highlands, a particularly dangerous place, encompass a vast part of the continent, with Ortion Cavern being nestled within the continent's southern bay. Kimlasca's grassy Rugnican territory grants is part of the border town Kaitzur, Kaitzur Naval Port, and the royal vacation home, Choral Castle.
History[]
Kimlasca is former territory of the kingdom of Ispania, claiming its independence in N.D. 0447 during its war with the kingdom of Frank, betraying Ispania and aiding its opposition in destroying it completely. Some time prior to the events of the story, the independent country of Lanvaldear (ランバルディア Ranbarudia?) formed a treaty of unification with Kimlasca, and its royal family married into that of Kimlasca to strengthen that bond through blood. The symbol of Kimlasca resembles a sword with wings.
