Kingdom of Turiand

Kingdom of Turiand

The Kingdom of Turiand, following the destruction of Shakar, declared freedom from the Anarian Empire in the years 2-6 AS.They fought a war against the Empire, having rallied the northern parts of the continent to break free. They have since been constantly maneuvering to prevent the Empire from regaining more of a foothold on the western continent. Mostly this has been through political maneuvering, however, they managed to rescue the city of West Haven from siege in the year 28 AS, defeating a large portion of the Anarian Empire's forces on the western continent.

It is currently ruled over by His Majesty King Feldin. King Feldin has been dealing with the breakaway of the Duchy of Lihnar, who declared their independence in 117 AS. King Feldin called upon the other three Dukes to rally arms and assist with putting down the rebellion, but their own schemes saw few men sent to the King’s call and they were unable, at the time, to restore them to their place under the monarchy. Duke Harrod was executed for treason in the events following and the Duchy of Maldune was left to be ruled over by the Duchess Mariette. Duchess Oscana was left in control of the Duchy of Wellen, but her two sons were sent to become wards of the King against any future machinations. Duke Uriah alone answered the call to arms in force staying within favor of King Feldin. Since then, there have been skirmishes along the border with Lihnar as it seeks to gain recognition from the other empires and kingdoms to try and keep its freedom.
