Aerdiaak [1] or North Province was the northern extent of the Great Kingdom of Aerdy. After his ascension to the throne in 446 CY, Ivid I kept House Naelax as amongst his cloest allies.[2]
After the Greyhawk Wars, and secession of various provinces of the former Great Kingdom, all the land formerly part of the North Province became part of the Great Kingdom of Northern Aerdy by 590 CY.
The situation of North Province c.576 CY:
"North province of the Great Kingdom, ruled by a cousin of the overking; its court is rife with debauchery and intrigue"[3]
"The Herzog of North Province is a cousin of the Overking, as evil as his kin, but certainly not as demented. The boundaries of this princely fief extend from the Blemu Hills to the coast of the Solnor Ocean, extending as far south as the Adri Forest, and well below the Trask River. The court at Eastfair is infamous for its debaucheries. Movement of Nyrond-Almor forces into the lower Bone March, and the capture of Knurl by these forces, coupled with continuing incursions by humanoids from across the Teesar Torrent, have troubled North Province. A punitive force of mercenaries was defeated in the hills above Belport recently, and it is now reported that the Herzog is seeking imperial funding of a huge army to recapture the southern portion of Bone March. This force would undoubtedly contain both mercenary men-at-arms and humanoids enlisted from the upper portion of the march."[4]
That war did eventually come— the Greyhawk Wars. The Fief of Ahlissa (South Province) seceded from the Great Kingdom and became the United Kingdom of Ahlissa. Aerdiaak (North Province) became the Great Kingdom of Northern Aerdy.
