Freldan Kingdom

The standard of the Kingdom.

***Frelda*** (Fur-L-da), or the ***Freldan Kingdom***, was an absolute monarchy established on the 4th of Hajnkure, 36 PR, in the aftermath of the *First Exiled-Freldan War*.

## History:

### Dawn of the Pendragon Dynasty:

Due to the nature of this nation existing before the *Foreclaimer Calamity* and during the First Forgotten Age, most information on how certain people or individuals came into power is unclear. This is best seen in the rise of the Pendragon Dynasty, as it is unknown if King Uther Pendragon was the first Pendragon monarch. However, we do know that the Freldan Kingdom as it is known by today was founded with this Dynasty.

### Banishment of the Necromancer:

The next known event is the banishment of Reiner Ortellia by King Uther on the 15th of Terriuskure, 60 PR. It’s believed that Uther learned of Reiner’s use of necromancy and saw fit to banishment him to prevent the spread of this power of darkness.

Reiner was exiled to the Jinti Mountains, where he would soon establish the *Cult of the Exiled*.

### A Fatal Illness:

On the 5th of Jyuongir, 60 PR, King Uther Pendragon would succumb to a fatal illness. This left the Kingdom in a state of panic, as the only possible heir was Uther’s son. The fifteen year old *Arthur Pendragon*, who had recently returned from his training with Merlin Wyllt.

After the funeral that evening, Arthur Pendragon was crowned as King of the Freldans and was left to inherit a Kingdom full of problems with a new enemy on the horizon.

### War Against the Undead:

The *First Exiled War* defined the Freldan Kingdom in many ways, not only did it show that the Freldans were a strong and resilient people. But it showed the that could also work together with other nations for a common cause. The attempted alliance with the Alren and the establishment of the *Alliance of the Knights* showed that the Freldans could unite greater amount of people to stop any threat, even one as unkillable as *Cult of the Exiled*.

### A King's Disappearance:

After the *Battle of Silverain*, *King Arthur Pendragon* would completely disappear to seal the Light known as Excalibur away until those chosen by the Prophecy of the Three Chosen could reclaim it. Unknown to the rest of the world however, Arthur's disappear led to a period of Freldan history known as the Great Confusion. The Great Confusion saw Lancelot du Lac be crowned as king, however, he then willingly gave the title to Arthur's wife Guinevere. Queen Guinevere attempted to rebuild the Kingdom, however, the First Exiled War had damaged it to much. Civil unrest and infighting became common place until eventully it exploded with the collapse of the Freldan Kingdom on the 23th of Ventikure, 81 PR.

## Government:

The executive branch of the Kingdom is the Monarch's Round Table. While the Monarch's Round Table holds the title of the executive, it is merely an advisory body for the Monarch of the Kingdom. It is made up of those the Monarch finds necessary for advising them and their actions.
