Background
Altea existed as a vassal state for Archanea and held great loyalty to the Archanean royal family. While the nation was fairly small, under Cornelius, and later Marth, its knights were known for being some of the most skilled on the continent.
Originally little more than a rural province of Archanea, Altea became a kingdom through Anri. Guided by Gotoh, Anri departed for the Ice Dragon Temple to claim the Falchion and use it to slay Medeus, the Shadow Dragon. Afterward the Kingdom of Altea was founded from the islands, with Anri becoming its first king and the Falchion serving as its national treasure.
