Zelrad

House Zelrad is one of the surviving houses from the Suel Empire that was destroyed in the Colorless Rain of Fire a thousand years ago.

History

House Zelrad arrive to an area which would later become the South Province of Great Kingdom. Having established a peaceful contact with the Flan Kingdom of Ehlissa, the Zelreds build their first settlements and slowly expand into present day Naerie. The Zelreds were surprised to find other Suel already living in these lands.

These Suels had fled their empire decades earlier yet had no trouble in allying with Zelreds. Over the centuries the Zelreds expanded their areas, conquered all other Suel settlements of the coast and even asserted vast control over Ehlissa during its decline. However, their success would not survive the coming of the Aerdy.

After a series of skirmishes and wars, collectively known as the "Zelrad Wars", Azharadian the Great conquered all lands of present-day Naerie. The last stronghold of Zelred in Karnosa, located in the Iron Hills, resisted until - 60 CY before falling to the Aerdy, thus signaling the end of the Zelrad Kingdoms. Some say that Zelrad mages experimented with Oerthblood magics in Iron Hills and enabled the relatively small settlement to resist the might of Aerdy for along time.

Eventually these lands became part of the Great Kingdom of Aerdy and prospered greatly. The land was rich and easily farmed, and the surrounding lands were at peace. Aside from a few internal turmoils, Idee was at peace until the Great Kingdom went into decline.
