The History and Founding of Aurvandil

The Kingdom of Aurvandil was founded in the 14th year of the recolonisation of Dwilight, based in the southern Maroccidens peninsula, surrounded by the rogue regions and the forests of Barca in the north (Closely situated next to the Zuma lands) and with the Madinan republic to the east. Aurvandil was founded in recognition of the plight and suffering of the people of the Candiels Duchy, and as a recognition of the Candielian peoples sacrifice and hard work, squandered and ill appreciated in the republic of Madina, whilst also being held in bondage by the greed and profiteering of the self serving nobles of Madina. The people and nobles of Aurvandil crowned Mendicant Anhanger as its High Sovereign, and he promptly declared his separation and secession from the republic of Madina. Shortly following this secession, other nobles sick of the complacency and profiteering of the Madinan pirates recognised Aurvandil's sovereignty and right to rule over the lands, and the High Sovereigns calls for a better realm, one unrestricted by constitution or the right to profiteer over the well being of the realm; such nobles to join where the Grand Dogess of Madina, Lady Florence Endellion, the Lord Admiral of Madina Horace Treaty, the Duke of Madina city Sir Sage Meadowcrest and the Baron of Bol Earendil.

Governance of Aurvandil

Aurvandil is ruled in an absolute monarchy under the Kingdoms High Sovereign who wields unrestricted power over his Kingdom and people; the lands and government utilise a feudal hierarchy where the lords directly serve the High Sovereign, and the knights directly serve their lords, unaligned nobles form the lowest tier of the gentry of Aurvandil, with only the serf born of lower standing and stature. With the High Sovereign ruling the Kingdom, he designates the control of the military over to the "Hausos Knight/Dame At Arms" to enact his will and whim, ensuring that orders are adhered to and also administered. To grant the nobles at a chance of public oratory over military matters, Aurvandil holds a military council known as the "High Sovereign's military assembly", of which entrance to the Assembly are granted to nobles who prove their valour in battle, or otherwise show promise in matters military. For the judiciary of Aurvandil, the High Sovereign delegates the power of judiciary to the "Royal Arbiter of Justice", an electable position (As only some one who represents the people, can truly judge them and deliver them to justice) the Royal Arbiter Of Justice has a variety of powers, and is expected to travel the length and breadth of the Kingdom, upholding law and order at the volition of the High Sovereign when lords are on the march. For the economy and financial management of the Aurvandil Kingdom the duties fall to the office of "Royal Purser" his roles, by and large are to manage taxation and international trade, he has very limited control over the agricultural produce of the Kingdom, save to see a surplus allotted to him, sold and the profits distributed to the lords accordingly.

Aurvandil has a single Ambassador, the Lady Mahagauri, who is under the direct command of the High Sovereign to enact in writing his will into treaties and to letters to foreign emissaries.

The landed Gentry of Aurvandil is divided up into a caste system three different ranks; the highest is the Duke of Candiels, the second rank are the Earls (Agl and Candiels Fields) and the lowest rank and standing are the Viscounts (Zerujil, Tubrel and Lusitania) the level of lordship is decided based upon the lands they control, for more vastly populated, and productive regions the lords are Earls, for the the lesser populated and more sparsely developed regions, the lords are known as Viscounts. At current, the Viscountry encompasses the outer rim of Aurvandil, encompassing those lands on the western coastline, with the Earldoms situated entirely around the eastern coast and the city of Candiels.

Religion of Aurvandil

The main religion of Aurvandil at one point was the old faith of Estianism, however in the later seasonal months, the religion collapsed at the loss of its Priests and higher officials, the temples fell into disrepair and the religion, largely disbanded as an organised construct. Though much pagan and folklore exists amongst the peasants, and no official temples of any religion reside in the lands of Aurvandil. In the Kingdom the High Sovereign reserves the right to banish and disband any religion that he deems unfitting for Aurvandil, and the Kingdom holds many plans to see new temples of a new faith to be constructed.
