Pothric

The Kingdom of Pothric (Pothriki: Pöttrik), also called Pothland, was a kingdom on the continent of Halinn in southern Abexilas. It was founded some time before the Rathamic Colonization of Abexilas by the semi-legendary King Progg Gegan (Pothriki: Këriggut Prögg Gegangunn). It was merged with the colonist kingdom of As'ria, leading to formation of the As'ro-Pothriki Commonwealth under the rule of King Althric the Tall (Pothriki: Alttrigg Asëllun, As'rian: Ђթխռιկ Ђսըլլւս, romanized: Álthríc Ásellus), who became heir to both kingdoms. 
Following the migration of Eldhamic refugees, the underdeveloped Pothric could not compete with the far more technologically advanced As'rian Settlers. The Pothriki Government, after initially allowing As'rian settlement on their territory, quickly collapsed in response to As'rian demands, granting the settlers the status of "Kingdom" in a personal union with Pothric, forming the As'ro-Pothriki Commonwealth. This commonwealth was largely dominated by the As'rian Aristocracy, although the majority of the Population was Pothriki. Pothric, along with the commonwealth as a whole, collapsed following a mass depopulation caused by a mysterious disease that killed as hight as 90% of the population. The Pothriki Language and culture are since largely Extinct in Abexilas, though many of their settlements remain, albeit some in ruins only. 
The majority of Pothric's former territory was annexed by the Principality of Ynqar, under the request of the Commonwealth's last king, Aegeus Asellus. Ynqar is often regarded as a "successor state" to the commonwealth, and it's government makes a point to respect Pothric's old culture and settlements, although no native Pothriki are thought to remain. 
At it's height, the Kingdom of Pothrik held roughly 8 settlements, these were: 
Gegangor - The Capital and Largest city (Ynqar) 
Sellig - A small Trade/Farming village north of Gegangor (Ynqar) 
Nirhurrig - A mountainside farming town west of Gegangor (Ynqar) 
Hurttrijunrigg - A fishing/market village imbedded into a riverside north of Sellig. Razed by unknown barbarians. 
Loszigmorigg - A small logging town. Its name means "far eastern place". Located in the far east of the realm. Razed by unknown Barbarians 
Grimbaltt - A small fort eventually belonging to Ynqar
