History:
[Ellorm is a citystate with an abundance of resource and trade and is usually last to react during political incidents as it is far away. Although it is far away from the largest cities, it is a frontier settlement for trade and is a refuge for the pilgrim and the wanderer.]
Before the establishment of the 3rd Kingdom, warring tribes fought for the Red Beryl Palace. An ancient palace of great splendor and utter power and whose creators and engineers remain a mystery. These uncivilized tribes attempted to control the Palace with no success. It was on an uncertain day and in an unmarked year that Rashatafa the Scholar managed to occupy the Palace and defeated the feared Order of the Dune [Now known as the Natur Roian]. He then managed to seat in his Red Beryl throne without opposition and would rule for the next 80 years.
During his reign, he had created many things and founded great institutions that still exists today. He founded the Grand University of Dune. An ancient university that is still functional to this day. He also created the great city of Rahanur which is the host city of the Red Beryl Palace. During Ancient times, Scholars would travel to Rahanur in order to learn science and arts.
The First Interregnum
When Rashatafa died at the age of 121, He died childless and thus had no heir to the throne. The succeeding King was to be Crowned Prince Barsuum, the nephew of King Rashatafa. In an unfortunate incident, he was assassinated just a day after his coronation and within a year, all family members were dead and the Kingdom was left with no ruler to rule/ Then, out of nowhere, a Warlord named Bersanor Gullari, an outlander and a foreigner set his eye upon the unsuspecting population of Rahanur. By then, the different nobles and counts were bickering about who will succeed the King. Finally, his armies would then commit what is now known as the sack of Rahanur. The city's population was 6,780 back then. Yet, he led an army of 500 elite men and quickly bypassed the outer legions of the Rahanur Militia which numbered up to a thousand two hundred. As they neared the city, only 200 Militiamen were left and thinking that Gullari's forces could not possibly bypass their outer forces and border guards. Within hours, the Warlord's forces would ransack the city and destroy the Red Beryl Palace. In the streets, women were raped, children were massacred and fathers were forced to see their enemies violate their wives and children. In a desperate approach against Warlord Gullari, High Kynlord [Archduke] Jahanu Shadar led a counter offensive against Gullari's elite army. His assault was futility. In the end, High Kynlord Jahanu Shadar would be defeated and executed in front of his mother, wife and children. And the Gullari warlord dynasty would rule over the city-state for the next 300 years.
Gullari Warlords and the 2nd Kingdom
During this three hundred year dynasty, Thousands of Dissenters would be executed throughout it's history and the Warlords would suppress the great Institutions that Rashatafa the Scholar founded. As his first imperial decree, ''Emperor'' Besanor Gullari ordered the execution of High Kynlords Ganradu, Naphabo and Srebani, the Dean of the Grand University of Dune and forty high ranking professors. Grandmaster of the Order of Dune and countless Knights and the immediate construction of the Imperial Gullari Tower. And for the next 300 hundred years, His successors would begin reconstruction of the city and would ensure reconstruction and development era that would continue to benefit the economy of present day Ellorm. Cultural changes were initiated. Amid the reconstruction efforts of the various warlords throughout the ages, they have been an iron fist dynasty and banned all sorts of philosophy and knowledge. They were ruthless dictators that oppressed the people. One family that they struck hard was the Elormur Family.
Rebellion of the Elormur and the Second Interregnum
Dastan Elormur would lead his family into power during the late Gullari Era. Within 10 years, he was made into a Kynlord and his son, Traven Elormur was promoted to Highlord [Second in Command] On the death of the last Warlord, Traven and Dastan initiated the assassination plot of all Gullari heirs and nobles within the citystate. As the next heir was crowned king, Highlord Traven and his close colleague, Fieldlord Gastren Bynereeve [Field Marshall] led the inner armies to turn against the warlords. Within a day, they successfully defeated the Gullari family and took over the city. However, one Gullari survived. Liegelord Vamerilis Gullari led the outer armies and turned it against the city. The battle raged on and would lead to the death of the last Gullari that ever touched Ellorm forever.
Henceforth, the city was renamed to Ellorm.
Elormur Dynasty, the 3rd Kingdom and Golden Age of Ellorm
With the people finally freed from oppression, Reconstruction efforts were swift and fast. Population swelled and expanded greatly. Population grew and all returned to normal. The Grand University of Dune reopened and the Gullari tower demolished and replaced with the Ellorm Imperial Palace. A magnificent building displaying the power of wealth in the Kingdom. The military was developed and new technologies were adapted and imposed despite the conservative efforts of other kings to suppress knowledge in their respective realms. The Ellormian Army is one of the best defender-based army and has it's own education arm which is called the College of Professional Warfare. Trade was being encouraged and countless divisions were sent into the highways in order to defend merchants and traders. Literature developed and Historians would study at the university.
This age truly was, the Golden Age of Ellorm.
the Pretender Regent and the Heiress
The 29th Monarch of Ellorm died at the age of 67 after a party. Unnamed sources say that a certain someone has poisoned the King of Ellorm and that they accused the Regent Dunmarn Maanvais for poisoning the King. It is also said that the regent bribed the Kalir council into placing the Kingdom into regency and intimidated them to declare Princess Maarsheva as incapable of ruling the Kingdom. Princess Maarsheva's brother was Grandlord Gregory. He was missing after a hunting session although rumors say that he was killed by an unknown force.
Currently, only the Regent is authorized to seat on the Emerald Throne. People say that the Regent is a powerful mage.
