Kingdom of Forenthia

The Kingdom of Forenthia (or simply Forenthia) is a country that spans the central portion of Foradiren. The capital city of Morn Durahl lies in the central region of the kingdom, in the parish of Obra.

## Culture

The culture of Forenthia is rich and diverse. The tribes that originally inhabited the region prior to 488 DR still exist, allowing their cultural identities to flourish. Among these tribes are the stone giants of the Eklistan Mountains, the river druids of Craodan, and the drow that established the thriving trade routes of Copreau.

## Government

Forenthia is ruled by a monarchal system, established in 488 DR with the first monarch King Endiel the First. The current ruling monarch is King Endiel the Fifth, who, like the others before him, has seen prosperity and peace in the kingdom.

The royal family is notoriously private and has been for centuries. Though the ruling monarch makes frequent public appearances, their family does not. They only appear in public for coronations, when a new heir is born, and when a royal is married. Though the monarch spends most of their time at Castle Forenthis in the capital city of Morn Durahl, their family lives in an expansive palace near the Genastou Ocean.

###### Present Officials

* King Endiel V
* Sir Tristan the Red - Genaran ambassador to Forenthia

## History

The Kingdom of Forenthia was established in 488 DR by Endiel Forenthis, later known as King Endiel I. Endiel, a powerful paladin, united the warring tribes of the region under one rule through diplomacy and a bit of magic, and his reign was peaceful.

Almost fifty years after the union, Endiel I abdicated the throne to his daughter, Diella I. Like her father, Diella I abdicated the throne after fifty years, allowing her son, Endiel II, to ascend to the throne. This tradition continued like clockwork, each monarch abdicating after fifty years to allow their child to take the throne.
