The text "The History of Ofson" has experienced quite a few revisions throughout the years, the first one being in 10AFT (After the Fall), where half of the narrative was rewritten. However, this map is a current depiction of the kingdom in the year 357AFT, which is the current timeframe "Kingdom Ofson: Heir of the Son" takes place.
Visual Development
Kingdom Ofson is solely inspired by the visual aesthetics of the medieval-18th century era from across the globe. For Doveturn, the exterior structure is a combination of the castles of Arg-é Bam (Bam Citadel) in southeastern Iran and the Chateau Chambord in France. A combination of Byzantine items (pot), Viking (dagger), medieval Middle Eastern jewelry (jewelry), and 18th-century French bookbinding (journal), just to name a few, were the reference points when designing the props. The interior design of the throne room took main inspiration from The Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles, The Vatican, and the Hagia Sophia Mosque.

Topics such as "The Coins" and "The Fall of Doviea" became forbidden to teach across Kingdom Ofson in 10AFT (After The Fall), although rumors and gossip can never be prevented. As time progressed, these "speculations" became a legend, now believed to be a fairytale.
