The ancient Kingdom of Listeneisse was founded long ago in a hidden area of the world by Joseph of Arimathea and his followers. It became the homeland for the Holy Grail. Many said that it could not be reached except by the grace of God.
Once the Holy Grail departed the world, ascending to the hereafter with King Galahad I of Sarras, the purpose for Listeneisse changed radically. It was no longer the place where the actual Grail was kept, but its holy, solemn traditions and secret rites continued.
Over the centuries, Listeneisse has been challenged, and has failed to adopt to the modernistic traditions of a 'secular democracy,' preferring its theocratic aristocratic hereditary monarchy. The lineage of the followers of Joseph of Arimathea, and the bloodlines of the Grail Companions and Grail Knights who achieved the Quest of the Holy Grail, are paramount to national identity and key to one's life-long religious devotion.
The kingdom is not isolationalist though. Now, without the Grail to safeguard zealotously, many visitors are welcome to Listeneisse. There is a great burgeoning of Tourism. Most bookstores are packed with whole sections about the Grail, gift shops sell replicas of the chalice of all shapes, sizes, and artistic qualities, and tourists eager to see the miracles of the Chapel Perilous and the wild Questing Beast come from all over the globe.
The country is highly militaristic. Many seek to destroy this 'hidden kingdom,' either out of spite for religion, or because they adhere to religions opposed, or at least, are percieved to be opposed, to the faith of the Grail Kingdom.
