The Kingdom Of Perdan is one of the original and thus ancient realms on the East Continent. Though much diminished from her former size and strength the Rampant Lion has built a strong network of alliances and secure borders to ensure its persistence into the future, and remains one of the strongest military powers on the continent.

History

During King Nightmare's reign (1006-1011?) there was an attempt to draft a Constitution for Perdan. A vote amongst the nobility eventually decided to abandon the idea of a constitution, and invest full power in the Royal Family.

Perdan's written records have long stagnated, though some in living memory recall the times that have passed the Kingdom of Perdan, there has been no attempt to create a single recorded history of the Kingdom of Perdan. An example of a modern recollection of events in the Kingdom is "A History of Perdan from 1019" by Ser Rogos V'Orlan

Reign of King Kay Peregrine

As of 11, year 1019, a short peace had been found where Perdan attempted to stabilise lands that had been occupied by Northern forces. A few weeks into those endeavours the North invaded, burning fields and slaughtering smallfolk. After a few days of Northern marauding, the Golden Lions marched to meet the northern army on the rocky mountain-side of Eldoret, where Perdan smashed Sirionite forces before withdrawing to safe territory.

Early 12-1019 the long war between Eponllyn and Perdan turned into a white peace, as King Ryndhal of Eponllyn and King Kay of Perdan agreed to terms. Sirion protested, seeking Perdan City in the possession of the North as a true end to the war.

Mid 12-1019, Eponllyn declared war on Perdan once more, King Ryndhal having been turned out by dissent from Xavaxian nobles in his court. An attack was made on Brive, to little success.

Geography

The Land of Perdan is very plentiful. Each region is accounted for and looked after by its Lord, ensuring that all regions are cared for in an efficient and competent manner.

Politics

Perdan is a feudal elective monarchy. Each region is cared for by a member of upper nobility, i.e. a Duke or an Earl, with estates in that territory parceled out to the lesser nobility comprised of Knights. The administration of the Kingdom is done under the authority of the monarch, with members of the Realm Council authorised to issue edicts or orders in the name of the King within their area of expertise. By tradition, the Imperator is named regent if injury or incapacitation prevents the King from executing their normal duties.

Treasury

The Treasury is overseen by the Baillivus (elected quarterly) sets trade standards and approves export of Perdanese crops to foreign nations.

Justice

with the laws of the land adjudicated by the Seneschal, traditionally appointed by the Crown. Much of the Seneschal's work is dedicated to policing the nobility in times of peace and war. For more information see: Laws of Perdan

Military

Foreign Policy

Perdan is allied with the Southern realms of the East Continent, and has historically held an enmity with Northern kingdoms.

Currently signatories to the Pact of Partora, a peace treaty between Vix Tiramora, Perleone, and Perdan.

The Military

Led by an elected general from the noble class, the Imperatrix, Perdan's military is one of the strongest and most effective on the East Continent. Steeped in past glories, the knights of Perdan remember well their greatness and aspire to carry on its legacy.

While Perdan has had a great history of military campaigns, many if not all scriptures have been lost. Only since half way through a new great war on the East Continent, sparked by the destruction of First Oligarch and Greater Xavax, have Perdanese historians begun keeping official records: - Records of the Great War against the aggression of the North

Active Armies

Perdan's Golden Lions

The Perdan's Golden Lions are currently the realm's sole army. Maintained by Royal Sponsorship, the Golden Lions are the sword and shield that defends the Kingdom Of Perdan against all adversaries.

Historical Forces

Perdan's Royal Lions

Formerly: Perdan's Striking Force

This army was the heart of Perdan's military force and was the foundation stone for many campaigns. The other elite armies worked as satellites to the PRL, aiding them and providing additional capability for larger battles.

Perdan's Crimson Wing

Originally the PCW was a force for recruits and fresh nobles but over time it has grown in notoriety to be seen as a more dedicated army. In its later years, fresh recruits were put straight into the PRL while more experienced nobles who move their troops on time and fight with valour were promoted to the PCW.

Perdan's Murderous Wrath

The PMW was known for their quick strikes capacity. The army contained the most dedicated, most battle-hardened of all of Perdan's forces. They once stormed the city of Sirion without aid from any other realm or army.

Perdan's Home Defense

Perdan's Home Defense was originally created army designed for the removal of monsters, undead and rogue troops in times of peace or war. The PHD was intended to be an opportunity for those who want to benefit the realm but perhaps did not want to participate directly in the large scale battles. Some in the Perdanian nobility saw this unit as hugely valued to national defense, as troubles at home could have been a serious diversion to the main armies of Perdan without the PHD.

Perdan's Lethal Panthers

The PLP is comprised of the infiltrators of Perdan. Orders and hits are coordinated by the Sponsor and the assassins of Perdan are given as much support as possible in all stages of their dangerous undercover work.

Economy

Perdan's economy is mostly based on mining, woodcutting, shipping, and fishing, with urban centres producing the many of the manufactured goods in the country, though a strong import market for manufactured goods exists.

Demographics

Total population is 16600, the majority of it concentrated in the City of Perdan and the Golden City of Aix.

Culture

Guilds

  • Imperial Guild - The Imperial Guild is an alliance framework through which the nobles of the Southern Realms share fraternity and information.
  • Adventurer's Guild - The confluence of professional monster hunters, unorthodox problem solvers, and professional rogues.
Defunct Guilds
  • Southern Alliance Drinking Association - Previously a more informal association, they were renowned as a band of spectacularly inventive and functional drunkards during the time they were active. It was alleged they had an underground system of pipes and plumbing dedicated to the transport of alcohol between cities, though if it did ever exist, it seems to have been lost to time. For a time they maintained a register of drinking establishments throughout the realm known as the Perdan Inns Index.
