Elindrath Kingdom

Two nations governed under one crown. Named after the dominant partner, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The Union

The Elindrath Kingdom sits to the northeast of Aurenthaal. It is a union of two nations: Elindra, the royalist dominant partner, and Zarenthor, the conquered half.

Background

Zarenthor and Elindra were once trading partners, functional, reasonably equal, unremarkable. Then the relationship changed. Zarenthor came to a diplomatic meeting in good faith. The Elindran army was already positioned. Zarenthor's ruler surrendered to save his people and was killed anyway.

Generations have passed. The Elindrath court considers the matter settled. Zarenthor has not forgotten.

Character

There is no collective name for Elindrath Kingdom subjects, because the people never accepted one. Elindrans call themselves Elindrans. Zarenthians call themselves Zarenthians. Nobody calls themselves Elindrath.
