Kingdom of Nyrond Established

Founding

Nyrond’s foundation in CY 356 marked the beginning of the Great Kingdom’s historical decline.

The ruling Aerdi House of Rax was divided. Its junior branch proclaimed the sovereignty of Nyrond, together with other satellite states, which swiftly gained their independence. These included the Urnst states and the Theocracy of the Pale. Nyrond allied with the states of the Iron League, and the old Almorian Lands, against the Overking as the House of Rax in Rauxes degenerated into insanity.

Nyrond’s people were of the same Oeridian stock as the folk of the Great Kingdom, but Nyrond became a bastion of good, powerfully opposed to its evil eastern neighbor. Nyrond was renowned for the skill of its artists and the richness of its court. Nyrond’s became famous for mages of great power. But it was the kingdom’s armed forces that guaranteed Nyrond’s strength. Its armies were victorious on every field, and its navy dominated Relmor Bay and the Sea of Gearnat.
