Chardreau (shar-DROH), Hesket's "France", stretches from the seas to the desert. In between lie lush fields and bountiful vineyards.

Chardreau and its northern neighbor Allondell have held numerous territorial disputes, owing to the intertwined bloodlines of their respective royalty.

The previous king, King Robert IV, often tried to stir the Chardrois to arms to counter the Marakhs and Kiljuks, who send raiding bands across the desert into Chardreau. He later shifted his focus to the Crusade in Bilgosh, where he died in battle.
