The Matilda Knights were forst created to protect members of the Jowston Alliance. However, they soon became a political force within the alliance and formed their own region in northern Muse, which became known as the Matilda Knightdom. The knightdom has both Highland and the Grasslands as its neighbors, and has engaged in much conflict with both of them throughout its short history. In particular, they used to have routine border skirmishes with Highland.

Under the leadership of Gorudo, Matilda strengthened its voice within the Jowston Alliance, and refused to help Muse when Highland Attacked. This inevitably led to the deterioration of the Jowston Alliance.

Gorudo eventually surrendered to the Highland Kingdom, but due to the eventual victory of the Allied Army, Matilda became a part of Dunan once again after the end of the Dunan Unification War.

The region is known to be arid and somewhat colder than Muse. The Matilda flag symbolizes the three colors of the Knights as well as the pen and the sword--symbols of knighthood.
