| The '''Aerdi''' were the most prideful, powerful, and violent of the [[Oeridian]] tribes to emigrate into the [[Flanaess]] during the period of the [[Great Migrations]]. Their name means "sky people" in the Old Oeridian tongue. They worshiped many gods of the sky and were famed astrologers. | |
| | |
| Like other Oeridian tribes, the Aerdi left their homelands in the plains west of the [[Baklunish Basin]]. Alone of the Oerid peoples, they traveled all the way to the [[Solnor Ocean]] and spread to the plains watered by the [[Flanmi River]]. The Aerdi included several sub-tribes, including the [[Thallari]] and the [[Medegi]], and were ruled by various noble houses, including [[Cranden]], [[Darmen]], [[Garasteth]], [[Naelax]], and [[Rax]].
| |
| | |
| The Aerdi were the founders of the [[Aerdy|Kingdom of Aerdy]], the predecessor state to the [[Great Kingdom]].
