Sodden

Sodden was a former kingdom located around the Yaruga river between Cintra, Brugge, and Riverdell. After the decisive Battle of Sodden Hill that marked Nilfgaard's defeat during the First Northern War, Sodden was split into Upper Sodden and Lower Sodden, with the Yaruga forming a natural border. With the Peace of Cintra, the two halves were recombined into Sodden and it became a vassal state of Temeria.
==History==
===Under Temerian rule===
After the death of Ekkehard of Sodden, the throne passed to his closest living relative, his half-nephew Foltest.
===Northern Wars===
In , the Nilfgaardian Empire launched a full scale invasion of the north, and after slaughtering the kingdom of Cintra, moved its army to Sodden. The first battle of Sodden resulted in the northern army being swiftly defeated, and the Nilfgaardians conquering the region later known as Upper Sodden, before crossing the Yaruga and attacking the northernmost regions of Sodden, where they were defeated in the Battle of Sodden Hill. The defeat caused the Nilfgaardian Army to retreat back across the Yaruga, and no further battle insured as the other bank was too well defended by the northern armies.
After the split, Lower Sodden stayed under Foltest's rule, despite numerous small Imperial raids, and Upper Sodden became a province of Cintra under Nilfgaardian rule, the two managing a de jure peace agreement due to Emhyr's stipulations with Temeria. Though the Soddeners weren't happy under occupation and an anti-Nilfgaard group was born in the Slopes. After the Peace of Cintra in , the two regions were reunited as Sodden under Temeria.
