Sharuna

Duchy with capital in Runa nominally Penboynian 641-858. The duchy was founded during Penboyn's retreat in the Nomad Invasions. The idea was to halt the Iluvar's advance by denying them the use of Felendar for transport by raids launched from Runa. But what was meant as a task force operating behind enemy lines was soon reduced to being mere bands of raiders based in Sharuna Forest. This new kind of warfare turned out to be much more viable, however, and by the 680's Sharuna was able to reconquer Runa and act according to the original plan. In the 8th century Sharuna was a rallying center for the viking tribes living in the lands surrounding the Felendar. At the founding of Falandria in 858, Sharuna was the core of the new country, but because of its affiliation with Penboyn, the Duchy of Sharuna was dissolved and replaced by the present Falandrian Duchy of Runa.
