Kingdom of Central Frelda

The standard of the Kingdom.

***Central Frelda*** (Fur-L-da), or the ***Kingdom of Central Frelda***, was an absolute monarchy established on the 29th of Curtikure, 899 PR.

## History:

### One King to Rule them All:

During the Early Medieval Age, the *Freldan Isles* were home to multiple kingdoms and empires, with each claiming that they had the right to rule over the entirety of the Freldan Isles. This led to a period known as the *War of the Crowns*, where the entirety of Grand Frelda was overrun by wars between these kingdoms and empires. Eventually, the period came to an end with the unification of these kingdoms under an elective absolute monarchy. With the kingdoms transforming into the duchies of the Kingdom of Central Frelda.

### Conflict within the Kingdom:

As time went on, it was clear that the government created to establish peace and prosperity within the Freldan Isles failed dramatically. While public wars and battles were stopped, a new form of shadow warfare flourished in the centuries following the establishment of the Kingdom. This would be especially clear in the 1070's, where the Royal Family would tragically die due to a plague. Suddenly, the Kingdom found itself in a statement as the duchies fought for the rulership of the Kingdom under their banner.

Sadly, this weakness would be exploited by the *Cult of the Exiled* leading to the start of the *Second Exiled War.*

### A War without Warning:

On the 15th of Terriuskure, 1077 PR, the *Cult of the Exiled* invaded the city of Koros. The *Battle of Koros* ended with a complete and total Exiled victory leading to the declaration of the *Second Exiled-Freldan War*.

Now forced to fight in a war, the Kingdom began to fall apart even more. Some of the duchies refused to assist the war, believing the Exiled to only be a minor threat. Others were forced into fighting with the Exiled invading their town and cities, and even fewer sent troops noticing the true threat that the Exiled posed on the Kingdom and Isles as a whole.

Even with the Kingdom being victorious in the *Battle of Eleybridge*, it was clear they were on the ropes and it would only be a matter of time before the Exiled conquered the rest of the nation. Luckily for the Kingdom, someone new was about take charge.

### Return of the Pendragon Dynasty:

On the 25th of Vyantikure, 1077 PR, the Royal Assembly was interrupted with the arrive of two men. These two men were *Travis Fòlais*, a Crownsguardmen from the city of Vanna, and *Formal Emberheart*, a retired Crownsguardmen from the city of Koros. The two then demanded that Travis be crowned as High King, this immediately led to outrage within the Assembly. However, the Assembly would soon fall silent as the two revealed that Travis wielded the sword Excalibur, the legendary weapon wielded by *King Arthur Pendragon*.

With the Pendragon bloodline being seen as the most legitimate family to rule over the Freldan Isles, it was quickly decided to crown *Travis Fòlais* as the High King of the Freldan Isles. With the nation at his command, High King Fòlais would soon rally the army and take his forces to the city of Vanna to fight in the *Battle of Vanna* and end the *Second Exiled War* with the assistance of *Dasmafear Clan* and the *Knights of the Round Table.*

### Post-War Restoration:

With the war over, the Kingdom began to go through a massive restoration. The war clearly showed the weakness of the government, so the main focus of the Post-War Era was to establish the roles of the different branches, shifting the Kingdom into a semi-elective absolute monarchy. However, the Post-War Restoration also focused on redefining the meaning of what it meant to be Freldan. It was clear to all that the Kingdom won the *Second Exiled War* because of the assistance it received in the *Alliance of the Light*. This led to the push that would one day, unite the Isles under one banner.

On the 15th of Frokure, 1082 PR, the Kingdom of Central Frelda would reform along with the *Chiefdom of the Dragon Peaks* and *Akkaran Crown Colonies* into the *Unified Kingdom of the Freldan Isles.*

## Government:

The government of the Kingdom is an elective absolute monarchy, where representatives from duchies elect the monarch of the Kingdom. Many within the Kingdom believe that they are the "true" Freldans, with many refusing to call the Kingdom "Central Frelda".

### Executive Branch:

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

### Legislative Branch:

The legislative branch of the Kingdom is the Royal Assembly of the Kingdom. The Royal Assembly is responsible for creating and proposing laws for the Monarch. The Assembly is made up of representatives elected from the Duchies, who are responsible for creating laws and electing new Monarchs. Whenever a Monarch dies, an election is held to decide who will become the new Monarch. While anyone can be elected, it's more common for one of the current Royal Bloodline to be elected.

### Judicial Branch:

The judicial branch of the Kingdom is the Grand Court of the Kingdom. The Grant Court deals with the matters of the Duchies, with very few affairs on the national level.

## Territory:

### Capital District:

* Duchy of Silverain
* Duchy of Koros
* Duchy of Vanna
