Rymir

The borders of the old Rymian Kingdom, at it's greatest extend and before it was absorbed into the Valusian Sovereignty

### Inhabitants

Rymians, Bogfolk, Cragfolk,

Rymir is an area on the continent of Crygnos, and a province of the Sovereignty. It's inhabitants are known as Rymians. Rymir borders Sodir to the north, Lake Tayon and Valusia to the northeast, Wallgard to the east, Mestirm to the south, and Dymia to the east.

The Rymians are led by Lord-Governor Thaldon Eigril, who is seated in the ancestral Eigril seat of Stormspire.

Rymir is covered in mountain ranges that have provided very good protection to it's inhabitants, and contributed to the prosperity of the land as they are rich in mineral resources. The Hart river has provided fertile ground to feed Rymians, and the city of Talwynn has functioned as the economic hub of Rymir for generations.

## History

Rymir [*lit. meaning* Rym's Land] was established by Rymos Eigril, a Romasi general that migrated westward alongside the last Dominator Aldun Valus. Rymos had brought his army along with him, and they served the Valusian Kingdom as mercenaries for a while. In return for their service in assisting the Valusian Kingdom expand, Aldun Valus gifted Rymos and his mercenaries land in what is now northeast Rymir. There they built the settlement of Stagnig's Rest.

Eventually, Rymos was declared king by his men, and they expanded their rump state westward, building the monumental castle of Stormspire along the way.

#### Thoron invasion

Edir Thoron, a Druid that hailed from the old Sodian Kingdom, organized an invasion of Rymir and sieged Stormspire before it's construction was finished. Edir Thoron hated how Rymos Eigril had encroached on Druidic land, and sought to reclaim it for his people. The Druidic Kingdom of Rymir was shortlived, however, and alongside Mestirmer allies Rymos reclaimed his crown, executed the usurper, and began a campaign to eradicate all Thorons on the continent of Crygnos.

#### Under Rheydon Eigril

King Rheydon Eigril, also known as the Slaver King, was a notable figure in Rymian history for his ruthless use of slave labor and support for slave trade. Possibly tens of thousands of local Druid and Jonin people suffered this fate. The road known as Rheydon Path was so named for it's role in the transportation of slaves. Slavery was a part of Rymian life until subjugation by Minia the Cruel, ironically.

#### Establishment of the Grand Duchy of Dymia

Following the successful rebellion of Alroc Ildyr against Lysofonian overlordship, the young elected King introduced new partitions of the Sovereignty, which largely followed historical borders; save a few alterations. Amongst these was the establishment of the Grand Duchy of Dymia, administered from Marshgate and by the Order of Catt. This was received poorly in Rymir as the northern part of Dymia was always seen as Rymian land, and to this day is largely populated by those of Rymian blood.
