Mistral (kingdom)

Mistral  is one of the four kingdoms of Remnant in RWBY.

Notable Locations
Mistral is presumably the location of Sanctum, the school attended by Pyrrha Nikos before she joined Beacon Academy. It is also the location of Haven Academy, the academy Neptune attends and where Cinder, Mercury, and Emerald claim to hail from. Sun Wukong emigrated from his birth kingdom of Vacuo to Mistral, where he became a student at Haven Academy.

Notable Events
Mistral is the location of an annual tournament, know as The Mistral Regional Tournament, which is presumed to be a combat tournament.

One of Pyrrha's major claims to fame is that she won this tournament four years in a row, setting a new record.

Trivia

 * Mistral may be named after the cold, dry wind that blows from the northwest onto the French Mediterranean coast.
 * Based on Pyrrha's appearance and the language in which her equipment are named, it is possible that Mistral is based on the culture of Ancient Greece or Rome.
 * Neptune also hails from Mistral and, while his attire doesn't really conform to the Greco-Roman theme, his name certainly does.
