Geography and Information

At the far North Eastern tip of the Colonies is the land of Drenga. Its mostly a harsh and barren landscape with jagged terrain and deep gullies. The stormy seas attack the exposed coast and crash against the impressive cliffs.

Deep in this isolated place, the fort town of Kerant is the largest settlement of the interior and Southern coastal villages. Only Drenga's second town of Tonent can claim to be of similar size. Its located on top of a rocky peninsula on the Northern Coast, its a fascinating place constructed from dark volcanic shist and beach deposits.

Above the capital town of Kerant is a small plato with several wooden structures nestled between the mountain and the edge, which overlooks the gully below. Here in the Hall of Dubhaine, the nobles of Minas Thalion and travellers alike meet together for important discussions and decisions. The hall is also renowned for feasting in the evening and incredible stargazing at night when the weather permits.

History of the Realm

Before Minas Thalion

The city of Alebad had previously been the capital of a Theocracy of the same name. See realm of Alebad.

Creation of the Realm

Minas Thalion was created as a joint effort between Lukon and Oritolon through the planned secession of Alebad from Oritolon in January 1010.

More information on the creation of Minas Thalion can be found in the Recent History of Oritolon.

The Fall of Minas Thalion

Just over three years from her founding the strength of Minas Thalion finally failed. Although the loss of Alebad had not been enough to force Minas Thalion's collapse, the realm was reduced to a rump around the arid cliffs of Drenga. Eventually, after many attempts, Outer Tilog managed to scatter the unyielding Thalionese defenders. Soon after that, Minas Thalion was no more.

During this time Minas Thalion came out in favour of Empress Valakyrie's plan for a Colonial Senate.

Rebirth

Following the destruction of the Drenga Colony, former Lord Elect Cathal moved to Lukon becoming General under Empress Valakyrie. In this role he led the successful campaign to break the Republic of Oritolon and drive out the corrupt regime which had instigated the war between Lukon and Minas Thalion. In the subsequent peace accords it was agreed that Minas Thalion should be refounded in Alebad and some months later this came to pass. Minas Thalion fought a brief war to reclaim her heartlands from Portion, and a subsequent war with Aren over the ownership of Abaka was settled peacefully by the gifting of this land in return for full Federation between the two realms.

Subsequently Outer Tilog's continued attempts to assault Aren have lead to a Grand Alliance between Aren, Oritolon and Minas Thalion with a brutal war fought across the plains of Bode Batura and deep into the woods of Naan Forest. Here the allies clash with the combined might of both Tilogs and Wetham in an increasingly brutal war where religious unrest and espionage have become daily woes.
