The Liranthian Kingdom's northern edge runs along the northern coast, but includes the Island of Kirama. The western edge runs north/south roughly along the meeting of the line of hills and the shire. The relationship between the Liranthian Kingdom and the rest of the Ascendancy is that of a supply zone, or even a buffer zone. It is also the point of origin of the many trade ships between the Nord Isle and the mainland. The Kingdom to the west, the Brimoan Kingdom is the main kingdom supplied by the Kingdom of Liranth due to its larger military and troubles with the Fen'Neko and Ghorak Zo to their west. For the rest of the Ascendancy, the Liranthian Kingdom is considered one of trade/supply. It is the second largest of the three supply kingdoms of the Ascendancy and 6th largest kingdom overall. There may have been much historical importance of the Liranthian Kingdom, but it is not very well recorded. During the Nordvar Dynasty, the capitol was located near the current city of Liranth. During the Rise of the Darshak Theocracy, just south of the border of the Liranthian Kingdom, the people were quite apathetic to their political affiliation and thus were quite easy prey to the Darshak invasion of the lands. The conquering of the Kingdom of Liranth took place over the course of 4 days. The battles were few, and very quick as the Liranthians really didn't have much care for battle, and were quick to surrender. After the defeat of the Darshak theocracy by the Ascendancy, the Kingdom took on its current name and the head city was rebuilt, just to the east of where it was during the Nordvar Dynasty. The ruins of the Nordvar capital still stand about 20 miles west of Liranth. |
