First Kingdom of Kordowyn

The First Kingdom of Kordowyn, as it is often referred to by scholars, was a state which supposedly existed 500 years or so before Badger's Landing. Very little is actually known about the Kingdom, including if it even existed, due to Kordowyn having no writing system before the arrival of the Acrenians, so all information regarding the Kingdom has been passed down in tales and legends for hundreds of years. 
Scholars have argued about the existence of such a state, mainly arguing that the legend is just that, a legend. However, the Imperial Government of Kordowyn maintains that the Kingdom did in fact exist, and that its King, Arthwr, was an early leader of the Pryce Clan. 
The legends say that Arthwr united Kordowyn through various conquests throughout his life, and upon uniting the 12 Clans of Kordowyn, he declared himself Brenin ("King" in Old Kordynian). Supposedly, Arthwr reigned in peace for around 30 years, until his death, which caused the Kingdom to collapse. The Kordynian Clans wouldn't be united again until 109 KOR, when Arthwr II would conquer the last of the tribal hold outs, and declare himself as King of Kordowyn. 
Since the fall of the Kingdom, the name "Arthwr" is generally seen as a name of high stature, only given to those who are believed to be going to achieve greatness in their lives.
