Country of Rosewrynn
Founded in the years after The Shattering, formed from an independent nation of Wharf that existed on the eastern coast of Helfdome, when The Shattering occurred much of the nation and bordering cities were destroyed. Over the course of the next ten years, with the aid of the Jaralian Empire the nation was rebuilt to serve as a frontier post for the Empire into the northern reaches of Helfdome.
Originally a single independent nation, after being converted into a kingdom within the Empire it was divided by Wistandauntaless the First into three separate duchies, as was the standard for the empire at the time. Over time the land in which these duchies control had shifted greatly, often due to overly ambitious dukes and duchesses, however there has always been a maintained balance for three even if the border between them was in a constant state of flux.
The duchies that comprise the kingdom are: New Wharf, Kaerendall, and the Umoven Swamplands. Most conflict has existed between New Wharf and Kaerendall.
Structure
The Kingdom, as with most kingdoms in the empire is divided up into duchies. One Duke, whichever is in the highest position of power (often one decided at the nations founding by the Emperor) resides over the kingdom as archduke (or King, the title is normally used only by those who prefer it), while all the duchies send their taxes to the archduke the archduke in turn sends the taxes from all duchies within their country to the Emperor. The Archduke often has their own stronghold or city that they occupy instead of being a regular duke of one of the duchies.
Public Agenda
Rosewrynn was founded out the remnants of a rather rebellious independent city state, it's goal since being founded has been to solidify itself within the government and become and irreplaceable part of intercontinental trade.
Assets
Rosewrynn as a Kingdom has a wide variety of assets, most notably are its key port cities along the eastern coast of Helfdome; several dwarven and gnomish countries within their lands giving them access to large amounts of trade, the lush amounts of vegetation, rice and grains grown in and around the Umoven Swamplands, as well as a series of aquatic allies, sahuagin tribes and triton communities that aid its fisheries and have formed a strong connection with the kingdom, it's original Archduke having been a triton.
History
The Kingdom was founded four years into the fourth age, after The Shattering and the disappearance of the nations previous king. In order to stabilize itself after The Shattering and the destruction of its neighbouring Triton and Sahuagin communities the nation entered into talks with the Jaralian Empire, the Wistendauntalaus Dynasty and after much deliberation entered into the fold. After several years the land of the north had all become part of the Empire and the Emperor divided the countries and duchy lines as he saw fit, leaving the Triton who had taken the initiative of aiding in the creation of the nation as the first Archduke of Rosewrynn.
This would breed continued good relations with the Tritons of the north east as their line would remain the Archduke of the country while the other factions would enter into a state of flux. Eventually ruling bodies stabilized with the Umoven Swamplands being ruled by the line of Odrick Strange, a nobleman from the south who's family's land had been destroyed by The Shattering and Karendall would fall under the jurisdiction of the Dwarven Clan of Ironbrand. Karendall had switched hands a few times over the centuries that past as several powerful houses of dwarven clans would often vie for power. As of the current age the Duchess of Karendall is Erzra Ironbrand.
Founding Date
The Kingdom was officially founded on the 16th of Stormmoot, 4A4
