The Kingdom of the Agodites
The Nation of the Agodites has been referenced throughout Angellonian holy texts many times and their descendants had even lived amongst the Angellonian Empire for many centuries until they slowly had been removed from the gene pool as Agodite males had become less and less frequent and the females had become more and more frequent in birthing and that the Angellonian males had married them and overtook the gene pool. nowadays there are no more pure blooded Agodites and the last remnant of their history is recored in Yosakm scrolls and artifacts their empire has left behind from their nation's extinction.
Within this kingdom is where the father of the Angellonians "Ashkrnofh" was born. the Agodites were well known voyagers of the ocean and made ships that were quite advanced compared to the rest of the world. some kingdoms had ships that would take a couple months to reach across the ocean while an Agodite ship would take only a couple of weeks. The Agodites were also well known for their Army which was very powerful and highly trained that not even a Fhronan soldier could get a single strike on an Agodite. But they would be conquered by the Angellonians and the Agodites who had converted to Angellonianism.
Their flag shows a boat which showed their naval supremacy and trees which were symbolic for the their might, age and noble lineage of their kings as they have had the longest consistant monarchy until the days of the Angellonian Patriarchs.
Culture
They were a religious based culture and had worshipped many gods throughout it's existence until Ashkrnofh and his sons had come and converted a majority of it's citizens to Angellonianism. They were also a very patriotic nation that had great pride in their Kingdom. They were also an honorable people who followed law and order and that an Agodite citizen had rights that could not be taken away no matter the circumstance.
Assets
The Agodites had full control of the land of the south.
History
It was founded by Ago who was the son of 'Wisgiro'Srokan" and he had begat many children who would later become the Agodites. They would become great rivals with the Kazunites and wage wars back and forth with them throughout their existences. They were an infamous naval power for their flamethrowers attached to their boats which the recipe to make is lost to time now.
Disbandment
They were conquered by the eight Angellonian tribes and Agodites who had worshipped Eloh and sided with the Angellonians. They slowly lost territory over months and due to bad planning and lack of respect for the power of the eight tribes they would eventually be destroyed and coqnuered by the Angellonians.
Territories
They had full control over all of the land of the south.

Mythology & Lore
The Agodites believed that the gods created the world and that each element of nature had a god over them, such as the god of fish, the god of beasts, the god of bugs, the god of fowls, the god of water, the god of dirt, the god of grass, the god of fruit trees and Ect. they don't necessarily believe that things like emotions like love and hate had a god over them but are actually a spirit that is a child of a god: such as a love spirit was a child of the god of the sun or that a hate spirit was the child of water.
Worship
The most common practice of this religion is mortal sacrifice; most of the time it would have to be the blood of a newborn or the taking of one's virginity and then killing ex-virgin to recieve a blessing of a god.
Priesthood
The Agodite priests had at some periods in history had held more power than the king himself. they would instruct the people how to worship their gods and what that god had commanded for the nation to do, and that nobody except the priesthood could hear the voices of the gods. this would lead to mass sacrifices of babies and virgins to appease the wrath of a god during wartime, famines and plagues. but around 2900 G.E.N onwards the priesthood had lost power and the king of that time had regained powers that should have been to the government.
Sects
there were 3 sects of the Agodite religion: the first did not believe there was an afterlife like a heaven or hell, but it was more so that the dead would enter the spirit world which was in the same dimension of the physical world but that it could not be seen by non-spiritual eyes and that the spirit world at times had greater influence to the workings of the physical world. the second believed that there was an afterlife and that the worshipper if they were devout enough to their god that when they died they would dwell in the realm of their god and be blessed with the pleasures that their god would promise them. the third sect didn't believe in an afterlife but more so that when one died, they would reincarnate into a higher being depending on how righteous they were in their previous life via how devoted they were to their god, king and countrymen and that the goal of the reincarnation cycle is to eventually become your own god over an element of nature but they believed that the lowest beings were Kazunites and their livestock, but ironically the second to last highest being would have been an Agodite livestock which would have been sexually sacrificed to a god via raped and then thrown into a bonfire.
DISBANDED/DISSOLVED
It was founded in 975 by Ago and his sons - It was conquered by the Angellonians only a few months after they had destroyed the southern wall of the badlands in the year 4544 B.E
