Kingdom of Phyrangia

Elegrim: /* The Spiritual Schism and Dissolution of the Kingdom */

The ''' Kingdom of Phyrangia ''' was a country in central Athelonesia.
Phyrangia's borders primarily encompassed those of modern [[Kingdom of Sithras|Sithras']]. The exception was the Sarbech River, which served as Phyrangia's traditional northern border. Its capital was Camlen.

== History ==

=== Early History ===

Before the Dorenti, the Sorval Valley was inhabited by the Velas, survivors of the civilization destroyed by the [[Ioneisean Empire]]. The [[Dorenti]] arrived through a series of migrations from southern Athelonesia that occurred during the -740s PR. They too were the battered remnants from a conflict against a conquering host, in the case of the latter, the [[Ankaidou]], who drove the Dorenti from the [[Ascaedi Wilds]]. Ultimately, the two cultures would intermarry and become indistinguishable.

In -532 PR, the Ankaidou invaded the valley. It was only through the Phyrangi's leadership and ingenuity that the Dorenti prevailed. Vedestes used the invaders' inherent fear of forests against them, and never again did the Ankaidou try to enter the valley, believing them accursed.

=== Rise of the City of Camlen ===

The [[Andorian Empire]] grew in northern Athelonesia as the Dorenti continued to dominate the central part of the continent. However, the Dorenti had begun to split into two distinct clans, the Phyrangi and the Neumeni.

The Phyrangi were influenced by the Andorian Empire, primarily becoming sedentary. It is from here in -56 PR that the "Kingdom of Phyrangia" is first referenced. From its capital of Camlen, it was noted as exercising influence over a series of tributary states.

The kingdom would grow to control many Neumeni tribes, but a large portion of them still preferred to remain free of the trappings of civilization, living with nature as the Dorenti once did as a whole.

== Conflict With the Andorian Empire ==

With the continued encroachment of the Marsh of Delcimbre across its northern dominion, the Andorian Empire, forced by a growing lack of livable land, set its sights across the Sarbech River into Dorenti territory.

These incursions began with the settling of colonies along the river, aggressively clearing the forests with ax and fire as Arghris demanded. Those actions were enough to draw Dorenti reprisals, but the settlement of Caldunoin at the mouth of the Sarbech brought the worst of Andorian insults. Its denizens forced conversions or enslavement upon the Dorenti people.

== The Dissolution of the Kingdom ==

The [[Phyrangi]] and [[Neumeni]] split spiritually due to their respective cultural and religious differences, further agitated by the Andorian Empire. The Neumeni, greatly harmed by Andorian aggression, came under the sway of Arghris the Flamebearer, seeking to fight "fire with fire". The Phyrangi continued following the traditional ''Old Faith''.

After the death of the last king, the kingdom was partitioned between his twin sons, who formed the [[Kingdom of Camlen]] and the [[Kingdom of Neumenia]] in 230 PR, respectively.

== Government ==

The government of Phyrangia was a monarchy.

== Religion ==

The Kingdom of Phyrangia worshipped the Dorenti ''Old Faith''.

Kingdom of Phyrangia

2026-07-28T20:48:17Z

Elegrim: /* The Spiritual Schism and Dissolution of the Kingdom */

The ''' Kingdom of Phyrangia ''' was a country in central Athelonesia.
Phyrangia's borders primarily encompassed those of modern [[Kingdom of Sithras|Sithras']]. The exception was the Sarbech River, which served as Phyrangia's traditional northern border. Its capital was Camlen.

== History ==

=== Early History ===

Before the Dorenti, the Sorval Valley was inhabited by the Velas, survivors of the civilization destroyed by the [[Ioneisean Empire]]. The [[Dorenti]] arrived through a series of migrations from southern Athelonesia that occurred during the -740s PR. They too were the battered remnants from a conflict against a conquering host, in the case of the latter, the [[Ankaidou]], who drove the Dorenti from the [[Ascaedi Wilds]]. Ultimately, the two cultures would intermarry and become indistinguishable.

In -532 PR, the Ankaidou invaded the valley. It was only through the Phyrangi's leadership and ingenuity that the Dorenti prevailed. Vedestes used the invaders' inherent fear of forests against them, and never again did the Ankaidou try to enter the valley, believing them accursed.

=== Rise of the City of Camlen ===

The [[Andorian Empire]] grew in northern Athelonesia as the Dorenti continued to dominate the central part of the continent. However, the Dorenti had begun to split into two distinct clans, the Phyrangi and the Neumeni.

The Phyrangi were influenced by the Andorian Empire, primarily becoming sedentary. It is from here in -56 PR that the "Kingdom of Phyrangia" is first referenced. From its capital of Camlen, it was noted as exercising influence over a series of tributary states.

The kingdom would grow to control many Neumeni tribes, but a large portion of them still preferred to remain free of the trappings of civilization, living with nature as the Dorenti once did as a whole.

== Conflict With the Andorian Empire ==

With the continued encroachment of the Marsh of Delcimbre across its northern dominion, the Andorian Empire, forced by a growing lack of livable land, set its sights across the Sarbech River into Dorenti territory.

These incursions began with the settling of colonies along the river, aggressively clearing the forests with ax and fire as Arghris demanded. Those actions were enough to draw Dorenti reprisals, but the settlement of Caldunoin at the mouth of the Sarbech brought the worst of Andorian insults. Its denizens forced conversions or enslavement upon the Dorenti people.

== The Spiritual Schism and Dissolution of the Kingdom ==

The [[Phyrangi]] and [[Neumeni]] split spiritually due to their respective cultural and religious differences further agitated by pressure from the Andorian Empire. The Neumeni greatly harmed by Andorian aggression became aggressive and gradually came under Arghris, while the Phyrangi continued adhering to the ''Old Faith''.

The Phyrangi, a semi-civilized tribe by Pelverran sensibilities, readily adopted the ''Known Gods'' and traded extensively with one another. The aggressive and xenophobic Neumeni and the highly spiritual Vedesti tribes chose to adhere to their old customs, fiercely resisting conversion.

Elegrim:

The '''Kingdom of Neumenia''' was one of the two successor states formed from the religious and cultural division of the [[Kingdom of Phyrangia]]. The other was the [[Kingdom of Camlen]].

== History ==

The death of Phyrangia's last king in 230 PR led to the creation of the Neumenian kingdom. To ease tensions between the old king's twin sons, the younger twin, an adherent of the ''Old Faith'', was awarded the Duchy of Camlen. The elder twin, an adherent of Arghris the Flamebearer, was awarded the Duchy of Neumenia.

In 480 PR, Neumenia lost territory during renewed territorial conflict with the Andorian Empire, which led to the kingdom's slow decline.

The [[Kingdom of Sithras]] ultimately conquered Neumenia in 903 PR after defeating King Varsygx.

The ''' Kingdom of Camlen ''' was one of the two successor states formed from the religious and cultural division of the [[Kingdom of Phyrangia]]. The other was the [[Kingdom of Neumenia]]. Its capital was Camlen.

== History ==

The Phyrangian kingdom split after the death of its last king in 230 PR between his twin sons, who were feuding over religious and personal reasons. The younger of the twins was given the Duchy of Camlen, where worship of the ''Old Faith'' was prevalent, while the elder twin was awarded the Duchy of Neumenia, which had renounced the ''Old Faith'', for that of the [[Andorian Empire|Andorian Empire's]] chief god, Arghris the Flamebearer. Both kingdoms were enemies of the empire, but approached the conflict differently.

In 409 PR, an Andorian military pogrom was declared against isolated "heretical elements" within Camlen, but eventually stretched into a holy war ending with Camlen being conquered entirely in 413 PR. The acquired territory was lumped into the newly formed Andorian province of Waymoot.

The kingdom would grow to control many Neumeni tribes, but a large portion of them still preferred to remain free of the trappings of civilization, living with nature as the Dorenti once did as a whole.

== Conflict With the Andorian Empire ==

With the continued encroachment of the Marsh of Delcimbre across its northern dominion, the Andorian Empire, forced by a growing lack of livable land, set its sights across the Sarbech River into Dorenti territory.

These incursions began with the settling of colonies along the river, aggressively clearing the forests with ax and fire as Arghris demanded. Those actions were enough to draw Dorenti reprisals, but the settlement of Caldunoin at the mouth of the Sarbech brought the worst of Andorian insults. Its denizens forced conversions or enslavement upon the Dorenti people.

== Schism of the Dorenti and Dissolution ==

The [[Phyrangi]] and [[Neumeni]] split due to their respective cultural and religious values based upon the pressures pressed upon them by the Andorian Empire. The Phyrangi were always more traditionalist, adhering to a simplistic lifestyle in balance with nature and pacifists, as the Neumeni tended toward aggression and began to settle down

The Phyrangi, a semi-civilized tribe by Pelverran sensibilities, readily adopted the ''Known Gods'' and traded extensively with one another. The aggressive and xenophobic Neumeni and the highly spiritual Vedesti tribes chose to adhere to their old customs, fiercely resisting conversion.

After the death of a prominent Phyrangian king, his realm was partitioned between his two sons, who formed the [[Kingdom of Camlen]] and the [[Kingdom of Neumenia]] in 230 PR, respectively. The brothers' feud would weaken both realms enough that the Andorian Empire would eventually annex both.

The '''Kingdom of Neumenia''' was one of the two successor states formed from the religious and cultural division of the [[Kingdom of Phyrangia]]. The other was the [[Kingdom of Camlen]].

== History ==

Religious division and the death of Phyrangia's last king created the Neumenian kingdom. Some segments of the Phyrangian population began worshipping Arghris the Flamebearer, the Andorian chief god. The majority, however, retained their old beliefs.

The Kingdom of Phyrangia disappeared in 230 PR, creating the kingdoms of Camlen and Neumenia with the death of the last Phyrangian king. To maintain peace, the realm was partitioned for his feuding twin sons. Neumenia adopted the Andorian chief god Arghris, while Camlen remained the ''Old Faith''.

In 480 PR, Neumenia lost territory during renewed territorial conflict with the Andorian Empire, which led to the kingdom's slow decline.

The [[Kingdom of Sithras]] ultimately conquered Neumenia in 903 PR after defeating King Varsygx.

Both kingdoms were enemies of the [[Andorian Empire]], but approached the conflict differently.

In 409 PR, an Andorian military pogrom was declared against isolated "heretical elements" within Camlen, but eventually stretched into a holy war ending with Camlen being conquered entirely in 413 PR. The acquired territory was lumped into the newly formed Andorian province of Waymoot.

Kingdom of Phyrangia

Elegrim:

The ''' Kingdom of Phyrangia ''' was a country in central Athelonesia.
Phyrangia's borders primarily encompassed those of modern [[Kingdom of Sithras|Sithras']]. The exception was the Sarbech River, which served as Phyrangia's traditional northern border. Its capital was Camlen.

== History ==

=== Early History ===

The Sorval Valley, before the arrival of the Dorenti, had long been inhabited by the Velas, the only survivors of the destruction of the old Velan civilization, which had been conquered by the [[Ioneisean Empire]]. The [[Dorenti]] arrived through a series of migrations from southern Athelonesia that occurred during the -740s PR and were themselves the battered remnants from a conflict against a conquering host, in the case of the latter, the [[Ankaidou]], who drove the Dorenti from the [[Ascaedi Wilds]]. Ultimately, the two cultures would intermarry and become indistinguishable.

In -532 PR, the Ankaidou invaded the valley. It was only through the Phyrangi's leadership and ingenuity that the Dorenti prevailed. Vedestes used the invaders' inherent fear of forests against them, and never again did the Ankaidou try to enter the valley, believing them accursed.

== Conflict With the Andorian Empire ==

With the continued encroachment of the Marsh of Delcimbre across its northern dominion, the Andorian Empire, forced by a growing lack of livable land, set its sights across the Sarbech River into Dorenti territory.

These incursions began with the settling of colonies along the river, aggressively clearing the forests with ax and fire as Arghris demanded. Those actions were enough to draw Dorenti reprisals, but the settlement of Caldunoin at the mouth of the Sarbech brought the worst of Andorian insults. Its denizens forced conversions or enslavement upon the Dorenti people.

== Schism of the Dorenti and Dissolution ==

The [[Phyrangi]] and [[Neumeni]] split due to their respective cultural and religious values based upon the pressures pressed upon them by the Andorian Empire. The Phyrangi were always more traditionalist, adhering to a simplistic lifestyle in balance with nature and pacifists, as the Neumeni tended toward aggression and began to settle down

The Phyrangi, a semi-civilized tribe by Pelverran sensibilities, readily adopted the ''Known Gods'' and traded extensively with one another. The aggressive and xenophobic Neumeni and the highly spiritual Vedesti tribes chose to adhere to their old customs, fiercely resisting conversion.

After the death of a prominent Phyrangian king, his realm was partitioned between his two sons, who formed the [[Kingdom of Camlen]] and the [[Kingdom of Neumenia]] in 230 PR, respectively. The brothers' feud would weaken both realms enough that the Andorian Empire would eventually annex both.

Kingdom of Phyrangia

2026-07-26T20:28:56Z

Elegrim: /* Schism of the Dorenti and Dissolution */

The ''' Kingdom of Phyrangia ''' was a country in central Athelonesia.
Phyrangia's borders primarily encompassed those of modern [[Kingdom of Sithras|Sithras']]. The exception was the Sarbech River, which served as Phyrangia's traditional northern border. Its capital was Camlen.

== History ==

=== Early History ===

The Sorval Valley, before the Dorenti, had long been inhabited by the Velas, the only survivors of the destruction of the old Velan civilization, which had been conquered by the [[Ioneisean Empire]]. The [[Dorenti]] arrived through a series of migrations from southern Athelonesia that occurred during the -740s PR and were themselves the battered remnants from a conflict against a conquering host, in the case of the latter, the [[Ankaidou]], who drove the Dorenti from the [[Ascaedi Wilds]]. Ultimately, the two cultures would intermarry and become indistinguishable.

In -532 PR, the Ankaidou invaded the valley. It was only through the Phyrangi's leadership and ingenuity that the Dorenti prevailed. Vedestes used the invaders' inherent fear of forests against them, and never again did the Ankaidou try to enter the valley, believing them accursed.

=== Rise of Camlen ===

The [[Andorian Empire]] grew in northern Athelonesia as the Dorenti continued to dominate the central part of the continent. However, the Dorenti had begun to split into two distinct clans, the Phyrangi and the Neumeni.

Kingdom of Sithras

2026-06-30T07:23:57Z

Elegrim:

The ''' Kingdom of Sithras ''' is a country in central and southwestern Athelonesia. Sithras' northern border lay along the Marsh of Delcimbre, while its southern border is the Shatterfang Peaks that separate it from the [[Herrenhorn Principalities]]. Sithras' western border is the Ioneisean Sea, while its eastern border is the Godsholme Mountains. Its capital is Rivvek.

== History ==

=== Founding: War of the Exarchs ===

The dissolution of the [[Andorian Empire]] sparked the succession war known as the ''War of the Exarchs'' (631-650 PR).

Lysidian, the exarch of Waymoot, proved to be the leading contender until his assassination at the hands of Maldwyn. This led to a conflict between the exarch's three surviving sons and his assassin. Fearing his own death, Maldwyn later fled the province.

Maldwyn retreated to the province of Sithras, where he "gained the trust" of the exarch, reputedly through dark sorcery. Regardless, the exarch was undoubtedly murdered shortly thereafter, gaining political and military control over the province by magically taking the previous exarch's identity.

With the Sithran province, which became the capital of the new kingdom, he refocused his efforts against Waymoot. Maldwyn found that the brothers were now at odds, and he methodically worked behind the scenes to keep them that way. When the time was right, he ousted the brothers and united the two provinces.

=== The Velashaar Crisis ===

The events leading up to the ''First Velashaar Crisis'' (809-813 PR) originated in 782 PR, when the ''Velashaar Horde'', a confederation of orcs, ogres, and giants, rampaged from the Khalkist Mountains into eastern Nymorra, only to be driven south into Sithras by King Caswallon II in 798 PR.

The horde rampaged through the Sithran countryside for roughly a decade before amassing a force that laid siege to Sithras City in spring 809 PR. The siege ended in a crushing defeat, revealing the growing ineffectiveness of House Maldwyn.

Orsinicus, the patriarch of House Maldwyn and his entourage abandoned the city before the siege began, leaving the defenders and the populace to the brutal mercies of the horde. Disgraced, he would later save some face by liberating the city by early 810 PR. However, there would be several battles and skirmishes until 813 PR when Orsinicus and his forces drove the horde back to their mountainous lairs.

The ''Second Velashaar Crisis'' (851-867 PR) began with a resurgence of the horde's incursions from the Khalkist Mountains in the 840s. By early 851, a Rivvek noble, [[Othrick I|Othrick]], called the nobles together, presenting the ''Pact of Sithras'' before the Kingsreach. The councilors granted Othrick supreme military authority over the kingdom's armies, displacing the Maldwyn ruler, Orsinicus. Othrick allied Sithras with the kingdoms of [[Kingdom of Nymorra|Nymorra]] and [[Kingdom of Neumenia|Neumenia]], leading to their victory at the ''Battle of Velashaar Valley''.

=== Neumeni Wars ===

The ''Neumeni Wars'' (888-903 PR) were a series of military campaigns between Sithras and the Kingdom of Neumenia.

At the Kingsreach of 858 PR, Sithras swore to refrain from intruding upon Neumeni territory, particularly sacred ground. Adventuring bands from Sithras discovered precious ore in the late 870s, drawing others to the region. These incursions resulted in the desecration of Skyhold, a valley sacred to the Neumeni as a burial place for their dead, followed by skirmishes with the Neumeni in response to such violations.

As these infractions increased in frequency and severity, the Neumeni King Varsygx brought the full fury of their people against the Sithrans. Unfortunately, this effort was all for naught with his defeat, the capture of his family, and forced surrender. Sithras moved to enslave the Neumeni and annexed much of their territory to build their mines.

=== Sithran Interregnun ===

The ''Sithran Interregnum'' (944-947 PR) began with the assassination of High King Zandor I in 944 PR. Campaigning in Nymorra since 935 PR, Zandor was largely unaware of House Maldwyn's machinations until the early 940s. Zandor returned to Sithras to face the rebels, where he was slain in Sithras City by a "stray arrow" during a skirmish with rebel factions based in the city of Camlen. Having no direct heirs, House Maldwyn attempted to use the chaos to manipulate the Kingsreach into installing one of their house members as regent. Maldwyn's involvement in Zandor's assassination was later uncovered, and Othrick II, a member of House Othrick, was chosen as its new monarch in 952 PR.

=== Neumeni Uprising ===

The ''Neumeni Uprising'' (1124-1129 PR) was built from resentments from Sithras' destruction of the Neumeni kingdom and the brutal enslavement of their people.

In 1124 PR, the tiefling Dorenti chieftain [[Skyorl Hammerfang]] led a surprise invasion into Waymoot, leading to the acquisition of the eastern portion of the province, followed by Skyorl personally slaying High King Zandor II at the ''Battle of Camlen'' in 1129 PR.

Sithras' forces managed to retake some of the surrounding territory, but most remained under Neumeni control.

== Government ==

''See the article [[High Kings of Sithras]].''

Since the realm's founding, politics in Sithras has centered upon the ''High King'' and his court. Until 848 PR, the High King was a member of House Maldwyn, but since Arrengar's reign, the High King has come from House Othrick, which has retained control since wresting power from House Maldwyn in 877 PR. Currently, Sithras is ruled by [[Othrick IV]], with his heir, Prince Trebor, his eldest son.

In addition, Sithras has a council consisting of the noble houses. Chief among these is House Maldwyn, which controls much of eastern Sithras and is a rival to House Othrick. The rivalry between the two houses has increased over the years, with its lowest point occurring during the ''Sithran Interregnum.'' A member of House Maldwyn orchestrated the assassination of Zandor I. However, the individual responsible could not be linked to the family, with the majority escaping persecution, which saved the house from extinction.

== Religion ==

Rolayan worship dominates amongst the nobility and government, with most adherents being lawful and neutral in alignment. Merchants and scholars worship Amarra, while artisans and smiths worship her twin Amarras.

== Military ==

Sithras's military is a collection of recognized knightly orders, the most prominent of which is the [[Order of Saint Othrick]], followed by the [[Phyrangian Order]].

== Population ==

The population of the Kingdom of Sithras is broken down as follows.

== Landmarks ==

=== Waymoot ===

The region known as Waymoot is the territory once considered the heartland of the Andorian province of Waymoot.

==== Forests ====

* '''Witherfell Forest:''' The Witherfell Forest is infamous for being the home of a glabrezu known as Bellenect, who leads a small tribe of murderous barbarians that ruthlessly hunt, kill, and consume any trespassers they capture.
* '''Gloomglen, The:''' The Gloomglen is known to be the base of a coven of hags led by Leuthice, a notorious green hag and former Dorenti shamaness. After committing a grievous crime against a powerful chieftain centuries ago, she and her coven fled to the Gloomglen.

==== Bodies of Water ====

* '''Immur River:''' This lake dominates the heart of the Valley of Velashaar and is fed by the numerous rivers that snake from the Dragonflame Mountains in the west and the Godsholme Peaks in the east. Centuries before the coming of the Great Orc Horde, the first Velanni refugees from Ioneisea under the leadership of the archmage Immur arrived here, creating the settlement of Saerduth, which became a bastion of learning and magic. It was thought to have been overrun in the third century by the overwhelming numbers of the horde.
* '''Sorval River:'''

==== Settlements ====

* ''' Clearwinter (Pop. 300): ''' A mining village in northeastern Sithras.
* ''' Rivvek (Pop. 53,000): ''' Rivvek, the capital of Sithras, is a fortified port city at the mouth of the Sorval River. High King Othrick IV and his court call the city home. The Order of Tyrix maintains a stronghold in the city, second to the fortress of Eastgate. Sithras' navy is also stationed within the town.

==== Mountains ====

* '''Godsholme Mountains:''' The Godsholme Mountains dominate eastern Waymoot. Mines heavily dot the foothills. The ore barons jealously guard their holdings. Thus, mercenaries are quite common.
* '''Shatterfang Peaks:''' The Shatterfangs serve as the southern border between Sithras and the Harrenhorn Peninsula. Legend has it that long ago, two mighty dragons fought in the skies above, with the loser crashing heavily into the mountainside. The dwarven city of Citadel Abennathor, the capital of the League of the [[Adamantine Throne]], lies deep below these mountains.

==== Points of Interest ====

* '''Skyhold:''' These foothills, sacred to the [[Dorenti]], refer to an area in the northeastern expanse of the Shatterfang Mountains. Customarily, they buried their dead here, leaving the area primarily untouched. When Sithras defeated them in 903 PR, they were driven out in the following decades, and the lands were desecrated.

==== Ruins ====

* ''' Camlen:''' Lying along the Sorval River, Camlen was the seat of power for the Kingdom of Phyrangia and formerly the capital of a minor kingdom of the same name as the aforementioned city. Recently, [[Skyorl Hammerfang]] claimed the city and is using it as a military encampment.
* ''' Sithras City: ''' Sithras City was the former capital of the kingdom during the rule of House Maldwyn. After the ''Sithran Interregnum'' concluded, power had been transferred to the city of Rivvek. However, House Maldwyn maintains its influence over Sithras and rivals House Othrick. In the early days, the city was known for its vast library dedicated to the fraternal twin gods Amarras and Amarra, gods of invention and magic, respectively. The library is run by Suetonia, a tiefling high priestess of Amarra and a noted scholar of history.

=== Nymorran Estates ===

The region known as the '''Nymorran Estates''' is the territory once considered a part of the [[Kingdom of Nymorra]].

===== Estates =====

* '''Kalin's Tower:''' This peaceful tower house, with a sparse, yet semi-exotic garden, is home to the benevolent archmage Kalin and his granddaughter Mira, whom he adopted after her father was executed for murder and banditry. In the hopes of discouraging Mira from such a fate, Kalin has made her his apprentice.
* '''Kosari's Tower:''' Within a day's ride south of Caldunoin, this expansive stone tower was home to the plane-walking archmage Kosari, who mysteriously disappeared around 1100 PR. His disappearance has long been suspected to result from possibly offending a powerful extraplanar entity. Most avoid the tower, believing that hostile planar creatures inhabit the tower. Reports from adventurers have stated that the creatures encountered seem to be searching for something.

===== Bodies of Water =====

* '''Sarbech River:''' The Nymorran estates grew along this river.

===== Ruins =====

* ''' Stormweavers Bastion: ''' A relic from the early days of Caldunoin, this derelict castle is known to have been inhabited by cultists of the primordial known as ''The Fell Storm.'' With the cultists' deposition, bandits and outlaws often use the castle as a temporary hideaway. The fortress can be found northeast of Caldunoin, overlooking the Marsh of Delcimbre.

===== Settlements =====

* ''' Caldunoin (Pop. 25,000): ''' The former capital of the Kingdom of Nymorra, Caldunoin is the traditional seat of power for House Bedewyr and the subordinate noble houses of Wynne, [[Beltrian_"the_Lion"_Breswick|Breswick]], and [[Ferghus Strongheart|Strongheart]]. Kendrick Bedewyr, the patriarch of House Bedewyr, serves as the Grand Duke of Caldunoin. The city is home to the Deepingwood Enclave, one of the largest and most well-known elven enclaves in Amoraithe. The Deepingwood Enclave elves are known as shrewd merchants and deal-brokers closely allied with House Bedewyr and led by Evara Moongrove, who is rumored to be Kendrick's lover.
* ''' Idlecross (Pop. 200): ''' A farming village under House Strongheart's control.
* ''' Shornhold (Pop. 1100): ''' Shornhold is a fortified burg under the control of House Strongheart. Besides the one they must maintain in Caldunoin, House Strongheart has its family estate here.

2026-06-30T07:19:05Z

Elegrim:

The ''' Kingdom of Nymorra ''' was a country in northern Athelonesia. Its capital was Caldunoin.

== History ==

=== Rise of the Dorenti ===

During the height of the [[Andorian Empire]], the [[Dorenti]] of northern Athelonesia were driven into the Marsh of Delcimbre after several pogroms, where they remained forgotten and contained for many generations. The degradation of the quality of the emperors allowed power to fall increasingly into the hands of the exarchs. By the 6th century, with the weakening of the empire's military, the Dorenti were emboldened enough to push south.

In 591 PR, Nessandra, the daughter of an Andorian client chieftain, was forced to become the concubine of Caldunoin's governor after her husband's passing, as she, too, was considered part of the inheritance. Escaping around 595 PR, she became a powerful sorceress and tactician; retreating to Delcimbre, she created a formidable force. In 599 PR, she led raids against Caldunoin Province, drawing the governor's ire. Using guerrilla tactics, she managed to trap the governor, killing him and avenging herself, but her ultimate goal was to take Caldunoin to provide a suitable home for her people.

An Andorian-raised Dorenti general, Brondalwyr, replaced the previous governor. Brondalwyr had been stationed in Caldunoin since 594 PR, as his Dorenti origins were believed to be an asset in dealing with the local tribals. As governor, he often led forays into the marches to fight raiders. During one such sortie, he was captured during a surprise assault in 603 PR. Brondalwyr became disillusioned with Palmithra as a prisoner, seeing the injustices they inflicted upon his captors. Eventually, taking Nessandra as a lover, he championed her cause, unifying various clans under her banner. In 612 PR, the Dorenti captured Caldunoin.

Brondalwyr was assassinated by jealous chieftains led by a heated rival, Leomer, in 616 PR. Nessandra disappeared the following year, possibly in mourning for her lover, perhaps secretly assassinated as well.

Brondalwyr and Nessandra's son, Caswallon I, slew Leomer in battle in 619 PR, beginning a period of warfare against other Dorenti tribes that continued to oppose him. In 626 PR, Caswallon pacified the worst of his detractors through the sword or diplomacy, thereby winning over his supporters and many of his rivals and earning their recognition as king of the Nymorran Dorenti.

=== Nymorra's Decline & Annexation by the Kingdom of Sithras ===

Nymorra's decline began in 782 PR with the emergence of the Velashaar Horde, rampaging from the Khalkist Mountains. An aging King Caswallon II defeated the horde east of Caldunoin in 798 PR, forcing them to route south into [[Kingdom of Sithras|Sithras]], but the damage had been done. His passing, however, led to a period of incompetent or tyrannical successors - sometimes both. Further, the Kingdom of Sithras, claiming a political marriage between the two realms, absorbed the kingdom in 935 PR. During the following century, Brondalwyr's paternal line was extinguished.

Ioneisean Empire

2026-06-30T07:18:15Z

Elegrim:

The '''Ioneisean Empire''' was a country in northern and central Athelonesia and the home domain of the [[aetherborn]] people. At the height of the empire's power, Ioneisea controlled northern Athelonesia. However, its power extended across the entire continent through numerous tributary states, and scattered colonies and fortresses. Its capital was the near-mythical city of Ioneisea.

== History ==

=== Awakening ===

In the ''Age of Foundation'', the aetherborn awoke from ''The Slumber'', a lengthy period in which the aetherborn lived within a culture of total barbarism.

Elegrim directly guided the aetherborn, seeing them as his children and further seeing their potential. They grew in sophistication, power and dominance, which resulted in the birth of the city of Ioneisea. This city was is believed to have been the size of a small continent that was once connected to Athelonesia. It is now believed to be largely submerged.

=== Unceasing Conflict ===

Ioneisea is known for its centuries-long conflict with dragonkind, which followed a major civil war within the empire. As a means to restore the unity of his chosen people, Elegrim summoned the dragon kings of the floating continent of Orgoth, who arrived with their legions of their dragon-kin, particularly the descendants of modern dragonborn. Divided, the aetherborn nearly defeated the aetherborn. However, Orgoth's forces fell with the death of their king, Kanthros.

During the warfare against the dragons, an ancient offshoot of humanity known as the Velas grew in power in central Athelonesia. According to ancient Velan records, their civilization collapsed around the -1470s PR after extended warfare with the Ioneisean Empire.

The Ioneisean Empire kidnapped elves from the Feywild or some alternate material plane. It is believed they were taken for arcane experimentation for a still-ambiguous purpose, but most were used as Arcane Thralls because of their inherent magical abilities.

=== Eventual Fall ===

After long-suffering the hubris of his chosen people, Elegrim afflicted the aetherborn with the [[Starsbourne Curse]], which began around -856 PR.

The empire as a unified political entity is considered to have fallen in -634 PR following the sinking of the city of Ioneisea into the Ioneisean Sea.

== Landmarks ==

=== Ruins ===

==== Coast of Whyte ====

*'''Ioneisea:''' The mythical capital of the aetherborn empire, Ioneisea was a vast and advanced city built upon a series of islands that resided just off the northwestern expanse of the Coast of Whyte. With the common of Elegrim's curse, the city sank below the waves. Whether this was a direct result of the curse is unknown.
*'''Palmithra:''' Known as being the home of aetherborn dissidents who abhorred the rule of the Ioneisean god-kings, Palmithra was founded in -1189 PR. Largely independent, Palmithra maintained a republic that included former escaped human and elven slaves and their descendants. The city would later be overrun by the emerging [[Andorian Empire]].

==== Marsh of Delcimbre ====

*'''Ashenteia:''' Served as the capital of the ''Neo-Ioneisean Empire'' following the sinking of the city of Ioneisea. The ruins of the city proper lay at the heart of Delcimbre.

Andorian Empire

2026-06-30T07:17:25Z

Elegrim:

The '''Andorian Empire''' was a country in northern Athelonesia. At its height, the Andorian Empire's southern border was the Sarbech River. Its northern and western borders lie along the Ioneisean Sea along its Northern Seherron Coast. Its eastern border was the northernmost range of the Khalkist Mountains. Its capital was Narizdun.

== History ==

=== Rise of the Andorian Dynasty ===

The [[Starsbourne Curse]], beginning in -856 PR, caused the eventual collapse of the [[Ioneisean Empire]], decimating a vast majority of its [[aetherborn]] population. Thus, power increasingly fell into the hands of the Velas and the elves, their former slave populations.

By the time of the sinking of Ioneisea in -634 PR, many former imperial cities transitioned into city-states ruled by the Velans and elves. Only a smattering of the empire's former cities were still controlled by aetherborn, and these too were disjointed political entities, a mere shadow of the formerly unified empire.

Palmithra was one of the last cities with a sizeable aetherborn population. was one of the more powerful and prominent of these entities. It was ruled by a republic established by the Aetherborn, who became disillusioned with the Ioneisean regime and turned their back on Elegrim's teachings. The Palmithran aetherborn abhorred slavery and freed them whenever possible, including them in their community in nearly all roles, even their senate. Now, Palmithra was wholly ruled by the descendants of former Velan and elven slaves.

In 11 PR, Palmithra, one of the last surviving Ioneisean cities, was overrun by Narizdun, a city of zealous followers of the god Arghris. Victorious, First Patriarch Andorias I razed Palmithra to the ground, forcefully resettling the human populace while slaughtering or outright enslaving the elven elements. Palmithra's treasures were taken to Narizdun.

=== Phyrangian Campaign ===

=== Orgoth Invasion ===

Around 423 PR, an Orgothan invasion fleet arrived on the Herrenhorn Peninsula; a magnificent yet frightening sight not witnessed since the dragon kings attempted to conquer Ioneisea eons ago.

In their initial onslaught, Orgoth annexed the Kingdom of Harrenhorn, then turned towards the Andorian Empire through its Waymoot province, eventually laying siege to the city of Rivvek.

=== Dissolution of Empire ===

The Palmithran Empire collapsed after the assassination of Andorias XXIV in 631 PR, after a coup orchestrated in response to his increasingly tyrannical rule. His lack of legitimate heirs led to the ''War of the Exarchs'' (631-650 PR), with the sorcerer-king Maldwyn proving the victor of this conflict, founding the [[Kingdom of Sithras]].

== Government ==

The Andorian Empire was a theocracy dedicated to the worship of Arghris, the Flamebearer. The secular emperor was additionally considered the ''Senior High Priest'', while the exarchs, who also served as secular governors, were considered ''High Priests'' of the faith.

== Religion ==

The Andorian Empire exclusively worshipped Arghris. Those found practicing other faiths were generally persecuted. Exile, enslavement, or execution was the fate of many a nonbeliever.

== Provinces ==

The Andorian Empire consisted of several provinces, each of which was technically a fiefdom ruled by an exarch.

* ''' Province of Palmithra: ''' This province was decimated by the advance of the Marsh of Delcimbre.
* ''' Province of Sithras: ''' The capital of this province was Sithras City.
* ''' Province of Waymoot: ''' The province of Waymoot was created after the empire conquered [[Kingdom of Camlen|Camlen]] in 413 PR and was later expanded to include parts of [[Kingdom of Neumenia|Neumenia]] in 480 PR.
