The Great Kingdom of Aerdy, commonly referred to as the Great Kingdom, was a major nation-state which dominated the south-eastern Flanaess from 1 CY until 586 CY. It was heavily influential, originating the Common language, Common Year calendar, and the gold/silver/copper coinage standard used throughout the Flanaess.
History
Great Migrations
In the year 1 OR (-644 CY), conflict between the Baklunish Empire and the Suel Imperium threatened to engulf the regions inhabited by the Oeridians tribes. The Oeridians headed east through the Fals Gap and into the Flanaess, and migrated eastward until they reached the great ocean and could go no further. They named this ocean the Solnor, meaning "the birthplace of the sun", and settled along its shores.[1]
The dominant tribe among the Oeridians was the Aerdi, whose name meant "sky people". The settled lands were divided among individual Aerdi noble families, notably the houses of Garasteth, Cranden, Darmen, Rax, and Naelax. Coming into conflict with the Ur-Flan and Suel peoples in the region, they discovered a pressing need to unify the scatterned Oeridian tribes under a single leader.[1]
Kingdom of Aerdy
In 428 OR (-217 CY),[2] Lord Mikar of House Garasteth was crowned the first Grand Prince of Aerdy. The lands within his rule were known as the the Kingdom of Aerdy, and their capital in Rel Astra.[1]
The Kingdom of Aerdy set about expanding throughout the Flanmi Basin, spending its early decades conquering the neighbouring Flan and Suel. They pushed south the Suel, crushed the old Flan kingdom of Ahlissa to the southwest, and conquered rival Oeridian tribes to the north who had settled there after them.[1]
Great Kingdom
In 535 OR (-110 CY), during the reign Grand Prince Almor II, House Rax defeated its western rival Nyrond in the Battle of a Fortnight's Length. With the conquest of Nyrond, Aerdy nearly doubled in size, declaring itself the Great Kingdom of Aerdy and beginning the nation's imperial era. House Cranden rose to prominence over the next century.[1]
In 645 OR (1 CY), Grand Prince Nasran of House Cranden declared universal peace throughout his empire. He established the Common Year calendar, with the new year established as 1 CY. He took the new title of Overking, which would be used by all subsequent rulers. This move centralized power in the capital at Rauxes, which initially posed challenges to the Overking due to the difficulty of governing such a large realm.[1]
To solve this, he appointed largely autonomous viceroys to rule over each province. by 100 CY, during the reign of Overking Manshen of Rax, there were four viceroys, with House Cranden ruling South Province from Zelradton, and House Naelax controlling North Province from Eastfair. Manshen divided the western marklands into the Viceroyalty of Nyrond, ruled by a junior branch of House Rax from Rel Mord, and and the Viceroyalty of Ferrond, ruled from Dyvers.[1]
By 100 CY, the Great Kingdom stretched the entire breadth of the Flanaess, from the Solnor Ocean to the Fals Gap, and as far north as Perrenland and the north and northeast of the Vesve Forest. It continued to grow over the next century under the rule of the Overkings of House Rax, notably the ambitious Erhart I and Toran I.[1]
Age of Great Sorrow
In 198 CY, Selvor the Younger prophecied an Age of Great Sorrow. A brief hysteria occurred among the superstitious Aerdi.[1]
In 213 CY, Overking Jiranen died after the end of a long reign. His son Malev rejected the throne, secretly auctioning it off to his cousin Zelcor. A total solar eclipse occured during Zelcor's coronation, taken by the Royal Astrologers as a confirmation of Selvor's prophecy. Zelcor ignored the warning, and simply disbanded the Royal Astrologers and banished them to Rel Astra.[1]
This began an era of decline for the Great Kingdom, with successive Overkings being increasingly decadent and incompetent, leading to the gradual collapse of the Great Kingdom. Ferrond declared independence in 254 CY, and Nyrond in 356 CY during the reign of Overking Portillan.[1]
Rise of Ivid
In 437 CY, Overking Nalif of House Rax was assassinated by House Naelax. The herzog of North Province, Ivid of Naelax, made a claim to the throne, which was contested by the herzog of South Province, Galssonan of Cranden. The resulting civil war, which would come to be known as the Turmoil Between Crowns, lasted nine years, ending in 446 CY with the crowning of Ivid I and the granting of greater autonomy to the provinces of Medegia, Rel Astra, and Almor.[3]
Ivid I soon gained a reputation as a tyrant. He deposed the herzog of South Province and replaced it with a prince of his own House Naelax, who in turn sparked outrage when he imprisoned and tortured ambassadors from Irongate. Irongate, Idee and Onnwal rebelled and founded the Iron League in 447 CY, joined in 448 CY by the Lordship of the Isles and in 445 CY by the County of Sunndi, and allied with Nyrond.[3]
Ivid I ruled for 48 years before being assassinated by his son, Ivid II, in 494 CY. Ivid II quickly fell into dementia and was in turn assassinated by his own son, Ivid III, in 497 CY. Ivid III murdered all possible Naelax rival claimants to the throne, and imprisoned his sons and daughters in a grand palace for his own safety. He ruled into old age before declaring that his last surviving offspring would claim the throne. The survivor of the resulting bloodbath was declared Ivid IV.[4]
Ivid IV's two eldest sons competed with each other for several years for the right of successsion, with the younger son eventually victorious. He killed all 123 of his brothers and sisters before bribing Ivid IV's favorite concubine to pour acid into his ear.[4][5] The son ascended to the throne in 556 CY, taking the name Ivid V.[3]
The Great Kingdom arose from the Kingdom of Aerdy in -110 CY, when the Aerdi forces of Grand Prince Almor II defeated the Nyrondese in the Battle of a Fortnight's Length. Aerdy nearly doubled in size, and was thereafter known as the Great Kingdom, though its ruler still held the old national title and office of Grand Prince. Despite the new moniker, power in the new empire would not become truly centralized until 1 CY, when Grand Prince Nasran I declared universal peace throughout the land and took the title of Overking of the Great Kingdom of Aerdy.
By the sixth century CY, however, the Great Kingdom had shrunk to a fraction of its size, limited to the lands east of the Harp River and Teesar Torrent, and north of the Iron Hills and Thelly River. It began with the breaking away of Nyrond in 356 CY. In the century that followed the provinces of Medegia, Almor, North Province, Bone March, Ahlissa and Rel Astra grew increasingly more independant, as the Malachite Throne degenerated into the chaos known as the Turmoil Between Crowns. The Overking, Ivid I, was eventually forced to recognize their complete independence.
Regrettably, the Turmoil Between Crowns also resulted in the destruction of the Royal Guild of Navigators, the august body responsible for developing a more accurate method of navigating the oceans and seas of Oerth, by creating a system of longitude and latitude. (0° longitude was established so as to run through the capital, Rauxes, while 0° latitude was determined to run along the Oerth's equator).
In 586 CY, Ivid V, last Overking of the Great Kingdom, was rumored to be dead after the devastation of Rauxes, the nation's capital. This essentially brought an end to the Great Kingdom. Two successor nations, the United Kingdom of Ahlissa and the Great Kingdom of Northern Aerdy, now vie for control of the region.
