Dryndid, officially the
Duchy of Dryndid, is a state located in southeastern
Quenia. It is a small
Duchy lead by
Duke Evranas Thalee and composed of three counties. Duke Evranas and his court are located in the capital city of
Maclulal.
History
Founded in 1131, Dryndid is the oldest state in Dareia. Despite many countries rising and falling throughout this time, the Thalee family has ruled Dryndid for its entire history.
Economy
Having one of the largest ports on the continent and a relatively central location to most countries in Quenia, most of Dryndid's economy is based around naval trade. This position as a major trading center also positions Dryndid well to host many forms of production. Multiple major artisan guilds call Dryndid home. This shipping and artisanship generates most of the wealth in Dryndid, leaving it concentrated in the cities.
The rural areas in Dryndid are not terribly off, but the lack of a major agriculture industry leave those that call its farms home worse off than the citizens of the cities of Dryndid.
Diplomacy
Dryndid is currently at war with
Dorh. Largely based around the two states' competition in naval trade, the war has yet to involve much active fighting. The relationship between them has long been contentious, stretching back thousands of years and many wars. The war has yet to spread to other states on Quenia, but the conflict could represent the start of another continental war, with the major powers of the continent seemingly ready to take sides.
Dryndid is friendly with
Ilsyavet,
Aslugual,
Enohei, and
Umnas, although they have no official alliance. While Dryndid did not fought alongside these states in The Third Quenian War, it did use its major port to supply them with weapons and resources.
Dryndid has contentious relationships with
Klon and its vassals,
Lelsyalos,
Thyvalean, and
Cymarine.
