Relsh-dro-Surd

Relsh-dro-Surd was the last known name given to a Miouran nation that changed its name in accordance with its ruling house's most recent or most prominent achievement of note, usually various conquests in battle. The name Relsh-dro-Surd can be translated to "Queen's End" and was in reference to the death of an Orian queen that halted Ores' attempts to take over the country. The people of Relsh-dro-Surd called themselves Queenslayers during this era, for it was considered that all citizens had provided for their country and would consequently share in the glory of ending the Orian expansion efforts.
==Queen's End==
According to Ores, there was never truly any death of an Orian queen; the truth was hidden from the populace so as to avoid disheartening them and giving them cause to believe that Ores was losing the various wars it had waged upon their neighbors. Not only that, but to the Orians, the individual that was killed by the Queenslayers was not truly a queen at the time. The story from Relsh-dro-Surd, however, states that they infiltrated Ores and abducted the widow Iladami the Eagle-Eye, the matriarch of Orian warfare. Though Iladami had been absent from Orian politics for years, never mind the battlefield, the Queenslayers knew that killing her would send a message to her son Deioros and her daughter Dokani, respectively the new Orian king and one of Ores' most powerful figures.
In respect for her status on the battlefield, Iladami's executioners were said to have treated her gently and with compassion as she was brought to their country. She was not bruised nor beaten; if she tried to flee, they would restrain her calmly and continue along their way. According to their tales, their generosity riddled her with greater suspicion and anxiety -- especially as they took a long, trailing path to both shake off pursuers and to force the once-queen to look upon the people she once sought to subjugate among Ores' neighboring states. Their treatment of her was said to have left her spirit "broken" by the time they reached the borders of their home country, where she was all too willing to do as they ordered and write out a "confession" stating that she condemned Ores and wished for death.
The exact context in which Iladami the Eagle-Eye died is not known, as the Queenslayers consider death to be a private affair, but her confession was found in an ornate coffin along with her head that was brought to Ores' capital, disguised via illusion magics as a gift for the new king from a nearby vassal state. Ores subsequently withdrew from the country now called Relsh-dro-Surd, ending their conquest in Gralshad.
