King Edward had evidently consolidated the present kingdom of Daventry, increasing its size severalfold. However when he lost the magic shield, invaders began shrinking its borders. Most of the population was killed or driven away. By the time Graham was sent on a quest to save it, it had become small and compact. Daventry is a a strong nation, defended by a large army and a good number of loyal and devoted knights and the Castle Guard (lead by Captain Roderick). Daventry also supports a Naval Fleet, whose flagship was at one time the lost Johannes Bey.
