Silesse (Japanese:シレジアSilesia) is one of the nations ofJugdral, located in the continent's furthest northern reaches. Mostly sea-bound, it is connected to both theAed Desert andIsaach to the east by a relatively thin strip of land. Founded byCed of theTwelve Crusaders, it is famous for being the native nation ofPegasus Knights in Jugdral, and for itsWind Mages. The people of Silesse worshipForseti, the dragon who made a blood pact with Ced at theMiracle of Dahna, whom they call the Wind God.

History

A neutral nation for much of its history owing to its rough terrain and the strength of its Pegasus Knights, Silesse came to experience internal strife after the death of one of its kings. By the year Grann 759, the younger brothers of the late king,Daccar andMyos, had grown disgruntled with the favored heir to the throne being the king's son,Lewyn, and so sought to incite a civil war and seize Silesse for themselves. Meanwhile, QueenLahna was hosting the fugitiveSigurd ofChalphy and his army following their escape fromAgustria, provoking the threat of invasion from theGrannvale forces pursuing him. In response, Sigurd first subjugated Daccar's uprising before leaving Silesse to confront Grannvale, not wishing the innocent nation to be attacked without reason.

Following theBattle of Belhalla, Silesse was conquered by the newly-mintedGrannvale Empire, and remained subjugated as part of its territorial holdings for the next seventeen years. During this time, the reigning queenErinys tried to help the nation as much as she could, but died of illness. At the peak ofSeliph's liberation war in Grann 777, though Seliph never fought there personally, the people of Silesse rose up in rebellion inspired by Seliph's example and destabilised Grannvale's hold on the nation.^[1] Following the defeat of Grannvale, the throne was ascended by PrinceCed, Lewyn's son.
