Albiore (しろしま Shiro Shima lit. White Island), officially known as the Kingdom of Albiore (アルビォレおうこく Arubiore Oukoku), and also called the White Empire (しろていこく Shiro Teikoku) is a great, old, northern kingdom which was very powerful and influential in the past. However, 400 years before, during the dark times caused by the Black Wizerd, Zeref, the Kingdom was eleved to the skies in order to scape, using a giant Lacrima Core, charged with an seemingly infinity amount of Wind Magic, to put all the Kingdom in the sky. This Core, occulted below the Capital, Albion, sustains the Kingdom within the sky, and it is divided in several floating isles, which compound Thirteen Archipelagos

Several countries in the Peninsula below the Pergrande Kingdom, inclunding Fiore, has historical registers of it's destruction by a giant meteor collision four hundred years ago, a conclusion developed by the colossal crater lefted on the ground after the Kingdom was rised to the sky. However, serveral religious groups in the North believe in Albiore as some sort or Paradise above the clouds, calling it by the nickname Heaven (天国 Tengoku), by the rare visualizations of it, as the Kingdom's sky area is cloudy and stormy

Background
Albiore is one of the oldest and first countries to appear in the world, quickly taking over the control of neighbor areas and achieving the status of Kingdom. The firsts registers of it's existence date between the year of V900 and X100

These accounts reveals the Kingdom's commercial nature, with a high merchant activity and also a progressive nature, as they we're one of the first ones to discover the uses of the Lacrima, having a giant underground store of Lacrima, who was very explored by the Kingdom

During X300, 400 before the current century, the Black Wizard Zeref caused chaos throughout all the world. Through the southern-most areas we're the first ones to be affected, after some time, the north was also affected. In order to survive the destruction wave caused by him, the Kingdom used a giant magically-charged Lacrima Core, charged with Wind Magic, to rise the Kingdom to the skies, also creating a large cluster of clouds, who occult it. The Core, positioned below the Capital, sustains the Kingdom until today

Through the years, the fact of don't knowing about the end of the destruction, the Kingdom denizens started to believe that the world below them was destroyed, and the colossal crater caused by it's rising has created the common belief that the Kingdom was destroyed by a large, giant meteor. However, Northern religious groups started to believe that the Kingdom is a sort of Paradise or Heaven above the clouds, as rare visualizations of the Kingdom occured through the years
