Heiligh Kingdom

The Heiligh Kingdom (ハイリヒ), or simply known as the "Kingdom", is one of most prominent nations in Tortus.

Layout
The Heiligh Kingdom spans throughout a vast amount of land. The capital is beside the Divine Mountain, which houses the Holy Church's Main Cathedral at its peak.

After the kingdom was destroyed during the demons' invasion, it was rebuilt with the aid of other nations and incorporated new design aspects, such as the functionality based off of the Hoelscher Empire, the nature-based aesthetics of Verbergen, while also maintaining some of its traditional beauty.

Ideology
Initially, The kingdom's primary religion revolved around Ehit and the Holy Church, The fact that the church's most sacred temple in the kingdom's backyard spoke volumes about how deep their connection ran. They even have a yearly festival to commemorate the day in which Ehit was supposedly born. .

After the death of Ehit, the citizens of the kingdom came to revere Hajime Nagumo as their savior for having been the one that killed the mad god that planned to wipe out all life on Tortus. Furthermore, many also came to worship Hajime's wife Aiko Hatayama as the "Goddess of Fertility and Victory."

Military
The kingdom's military force was divided into a soldier division, knight division, and magician division. Furthermore, The knight division was separated into kingdom knights and imperial guard knights.

History
The Heiligh Kingdom was built where the Elbard Theocracy existed during the age of the Liberators.

According to legend, the kingdom was founded by one of Ehit's progeny, Sharm Barn (who was the son of the Liberator and former Templar Knights Commander Laus Barn). Of all the human kingdoms, it was apparently the one with the richest history.

Main Series Timelne
When the demons managed to gain the advantage in their long war with the humans of Tortus by suddenly gaining the ability to control monsters, Ehit summoned the heroes from Earth to aid humanity. They lived in kingom's palace and stayed there throughout the duration of their combat training.

After the heroes survived a confrontation with the demon Cattleya in the Great Orcus Labyrinth, King Eliheid S. B. Heiligh and many of nobles began to express a greater devotion towards their god Ehit. At the same time, mnay of the kingdom's soldiers experienced symptoms of severe lethargy tthat came to be known as the "Hollowness." Days later, the kingdom had been invaded by an army of demons and monsters under the comand of Freid Bagwa. The heroes were prepared to protect the kingdom, but were incapacitated thanks to the trechary of Eri Nakamura, who not only allowed the demons entry by sabotaging the kingdom's barrier Artifact, but was also the one responsible for the recent eveents surrounding the kingdom's leaders and soldiers, which had actually been a result of her killing them beforehand and using her skills as a Necromacer to control their bodies to make it look like they were still alive. She then planned To kill her fromer comrades and turn them into her undead servants too. In the end, however, the demons and Eri were defeated thanks to the intervention of Hajime Nagumo and his companions. Hajime managed to wipe out most of the enemy forces, but not before the demons maanged to inflict serious damage to the kingdom, as well as both Freid ad Eri managing to escape.

The kingdom's citizens then focused on repairing what had been destroyed by the invasion for sometime. Unfortunalty, they would later have to abondon their homes when the kingdom became the sight of the battle between the people of Tortus and its god Ehit, after the latter was planning to wipe out all traces of life in order to use their energy to travel to Earth and conquer it.

Trivia

 * Heiligh may be based on the German word "heilig", which means "holy".
 * After the demons' failed invasion of the kingdom, the Artifact that produced the magical barriers around the capital was later modified in order for it to project images that depicted historical events of Hajime's time in Tortus. This concept was originated from chapter 25 of Arifureta Nichijou.
