Southern Noble Alliance

Southern Noble Alliance (南の貴族連合) is a faction of nobles from the Roble Holy Kingdom that controlled the Southern Holy Kingdom.

Background
In the aftermath of the Fall of Kalinsha and the subsequent conquest of the Northern Holy Kingdom by Jaldabaoth and the Demi-Human Alliance, contact was lost with the royal family. It was presumed that the Holy Queen and any members of the royal were deceased. Seeing a political void that needed to be filled, the southern nobles banded together and formed a government in exile in the south in order to protect what was left of the kingdom from the advancing demi-humans and demons.

The Paladin of the Holy Kingdom Arc
and The Paladin of the Holy Kingdom II Arc While in Re-Estize to beseech Blue Roses to come to aid the Holy Kingdom, it was revealed that the southern bay area of the nation was relatively safe from harm. On the other hand, the northern regions were a living hell. Even in the face of danger, many nobles in the south still bore grudges against the north and would not fully commit to a plan of reconquest. One of their issues was that southern nobles had intended Prince Caspond Bessarez to become king. Their selection did not come to pass as Calca Bessarez, who was younger and a woman, was chosen instead. Since then they snubbed the north, believing that the woman had conspired with the temples of the north with the help of Kelart Custodio.

When the Holy Kingdom Liberation Army secured the help of the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown, Gustav Montagnés wished to liberate the camps, not only to save their citizens, but to replenish the Liberation Army's number. In addition to rescue any of the surviving northern nobles who had blood ties to the south and have them appeal to their southern relations to send aid. It wasn’t until the liberation of Loyts that the resistance force were successful. Not only did they rescue several nobles, but also the missing prince Caspond Bessarez.

The nobles were then taken to the south in order to seek help in the war from their relations. During a secret meeting ago the Liberation Army’s leadership Caspond insisted that rather than retreat south, it would be better to press onwards. He reasoned that if they rely on the south through majority of this water, the Southern nobles would most definitely come into power and even place the north under their command.

By the time Kalinsha was freed and the demon in command of the city was slain, representatives from the south arrived with reinforcements.
