Old Aerdy East
The lands south and east of the Rakers and north of the Vast Swamp, off to the Solnor coast, are the heartland of Aerdy, the Great Kingdom. Once dominating much of the Flanaess, the Great Kingdom has been in decline for centuries.
These lands are rich and their climate pleasant, though long years of oppression have damaged the economy. It is not unheard of for euroz and the jebline races to live among the numerous, warlike Oeridians here and most major cities of the region have significant demi-euroz minorities. Both Hellborn and Demon Spawn Tieflings are also not unheard of in this region and many are open about their fiendish heritage.
Aerdy East also covers the regions that have broken away from The Great Kingdom in recent decades who now form the Iron League defensive alliance. These include the olven nation of Sunndi, Onnwal, the City of Iron Gate, Idee and the dwur and noniz of the Iron Hills, Glorioles and Hestmark Highlands.
Before the coming of humanity to the Flanaess, the region was home to To this day this region is still dominated by The Great Kingdom of Aerdy although the realm is very far from its apex, suffering as it has through several mad and/or corrupt monarchsgiants, eiger, euroz and the jebli races. It was also home to dwur (mainly in the west), olves, hobniz and noniz. Humanity first entered the Flanaess between 3,000 and 2,000 years ago, settling first in the Sheldomar Valley and Lortmil region. They were followed by Olman migrants who took a southern path across the Densac Strait and Tilvanot Peninsula before moving into Hepmonaland.
In time the Flan spread across the Flanaess, normally allying with local demi-humans and driving humanoids out of their traditional ranges. By 1,000 years ago one of their most prop serous realms was the Kingdom of Ahlissa, founded by the legendary Queen Ehlissa the Enchantress. Just prior, and during, the Twin Cataclysms, Suel refugees were the first outsiders to threaten the peaceful Flannae but they were too few to cause any major harm. Then came the Aerdi.
Perhaps the proudest, most warlike, and powerful of the Oeridian tribes, their name meaning “sky people” in the old tongue, the Aerdi had been pushing ever east in a great migration from their original homeland in what is today Ull. Reaching the Solnor they considered their holy migration complete and set about making this new land their own establishing petty kingdoms of Thalland and Medegia and likely others. These small principalities accomplished little under their loose confederation, as they were individually unable to take on the more powerful Flan confederations nor the nascent Suel settlements, so they quickly gathered under a single banner.
In –216 CY the scion of House Garasteth, Lord Mikar, became the first grand prince. He ruled a land now called the Kingdom of Aerdy. The Aerdi made their capital in Rel Astra, and spent the next few decades conquering the neighbouring Flan and driving the Suel to the south. After they conquered Ahlissa and absorbed it into the growing realm they continued on to ravage the Suel petty kingdom of Zelrad (in modern Idee) along with the lands of multiple minor Suel houses in the Pawluck Valley (modern Sunndi).
To this day this region is still dominated by The Great Kingdom of Aerdy although the realm is very far from its apex, suffering as it has through several mad and/or corrupt monarchs.
