History
The kingdom of Eponllyn was formed December, 7, 1011 when Duchess Siana Deytheur, Duchess of Semall, seceded her duchy from Ibladesh. The secession occurred during the closing stages of Ibladesh's war against Perdan and Caligus. Eponllyn was able to reach peace with Perdan and Caligus, and avoid getting entangled in the continuing war.
During the late June of 1012 Eponllyn was thrust into an undesired war with its sister realm Armonia after a noble from Eponllyn without warning attempted to assassinate an Armonian duke. The war continues to the present day.
Fishermen's tales
Eponllyn culture is largely influenced by the old pagan religions of the fisherman of Itorunt. The symbol of the fish horse is of the mythical creature called a Hippocamp which can be as large as a real horse or as small as a star fish. Legend has it if you happen to catch one in your net you must throw it back into the sea immediately and will be blessed with a year of good fortune. If you take it home it is said that a storm will destroy your house and boat.
Enutpen the immortal lord of the sea occasionally has to fend off Magnus the great serpent from swimming into the Ibladesh bay. It is said that Enutpen struck the volcano at Chaos temple so that he could close the land around the lake and prevent Magnus from claiming the lake. Although he can no longer enter that way he still patrols the coast attempting to gain access to the river but Enutpen is always there to stop him. This explains all manner of bad weather that afflicts the south including storms, hurricanes and tidal waves depending on the ferocity of the battle.
All nobles and peasants alike have great respect for the sea regardless of what religion they follow. Clerics of other religions are sometimes aghast to arrive in Eponllyn and find that their church services have taken on some local sea worship culture. Thankfully the right of sacrifice by drowning has mostly died out since Itorunt was destroyed. The Ibladesh priests were much less tolerant of pagan tradition than their predecessors however with the birth of Eponllyn the old sea traditions have re-emerged with more value in a time where nobles of the south are questioning the old gods who let the empire of Ibladesh crumble into ruins.
The Armies of EponllynCurrently as a new realm Eponllyn only has one army: the Royal Charge of Eponllyn. The army of the realm however has had plenty of practice against the new aggressor Armonia. Marshal: Luc d'Arricarrère |
