The Rulers of the Squingdom of Arworicus

The Rulers of the Squingdom of Arworicus was a chronicle and genealogical list of the Squings of South Squingdom. It was written by a Sinoyar Nisaroyem of Sulorac, also known as Sinoyar the Suloracite. The manuscript was an unofficial document of the rulers of the South Squingdom, that gave the author's own opinion on the Squings.

## History and Content

*The Rulers of the Squingdom of Arworicus* was written by Nisaroyem during the reign of Arworicus. It is thought to have be written shortly after the conquest of the South Rectoria, as "the Royal Army Corps engaged warfare with the State of the Southern Rects. With the help of the local pro-South militia, Arworicus achieved his victory, with great celebrations being celebrated unto this very day" *The Rulers* chronicles the histories of the ancestors of the Rulers; the Father Squing, Squilius and Carolus Squing, Decarous the Great, the Arolun Squingdom Remnents, the Diars and Diashavs and the Dviric Dynasty of the Third Diar Squingdom. Nisaroyem then chronicles the Squings all in chronological order. Nisaroyem gives one of the most detailed analysis of the Meyorasin Squings, on Meyorasin and Rayonis. Nisaroyem does not include the Squalin rulers or Squilon Ironquad I and II in his texts. Nisaroyem calls them the Stewards of the Squingdom, and does not recognize them as Squings. The Dekaritous Branch (both Duchy Branch and Squarigth Branch), the Hiclad Dynasty, the Pequan Dynasty, the Meyorasin Branch, and the Diarinikis Branch. It is famous for including Diaridikis, father of Diacagikis, even though Diaridikis was never the Squing of the South Squingdom. Diaridikis is a notable exception as none of the fathers of any of other dynasty founder are included. While the Father Squing is included, Nisoroyem clearly suggests most of the stories of him are myths.

## Discussion

*The Rulers* is often thought to be written by a South Squingdom subject during the reign of Arworicus, shortly after the Battle of Rectomba, which was the end of the invasion of South Rectoria. Sinoyar Nisaroyem of Sulorac is well-known as being the pseudonym for the mysterious author of *The Rulers*. Many scholars have suggested that the identity of Sinoyar Nisaroyem the Suloracite was that of a Squing of the Rayonis Branch, as Sinoyar Nisaroyem of Sulorac contains the names of Rayonis, Meyorasin and Carolus spelled backwards. The Suloracite is also thought to be a proponent of the Noble Blood of Squings philosophy. He lists the Peqan Dynasty in his texts as he justifies them being in his manuscript as El-Dekaron Peqan had married "The One from the Isle of Arolon", an Arolunic princess of the Arolun Squingdom Remnents.

## Legacy

The publication of *The Rulers* led to it becoming the most famous document of life during the reign of Arworicus. The introduction of adding Rayonis, Conservatous, Diacagikis and the Peqan Dynasty to the list was very controversial as the Duchy Dekaritous Dynasty did not consider them to be actual Squings. Also, the description of Duke Dekaritous I of Diaquadia as being a illegitimate pretender was of huge controversy. The widespread readership of *The Rulers* lead to the wide-spread interest in non-Duchy Dekaritous Dynasty Squings. Conservatous City advertised the Great Steel Pyramid, built by Squing Conservatous. Statues of Rayonis were built all over the Pyzantine Territory. The Peqan Dynasty became an accepted part of the Squings of the South Squingdom. However, exclusion of non-Squing family squings led to waning interest in the histories of the squing, Squilon Ironquad and Squilon II as well as the Squalin Dynasty. The exclusion of Duke Dekaritous I, who was known as Dekaritous IV or Dekaritous I and IV of Diaquadus and the South Squingdom, led to the duke being removed the Official Records of the Squings as a squing. Also, the popularity of the book led to Sinoyar, Nisaroyem and Sulorac being popular first names in the South Squingdom.
