Order of Raeningi

The Order of Raeningi is an aristocracy based within Eldham. It is led by Lord Olary Von Mqthijs.

Government
The Order of Raeningi is an aristocracy, meaning it is led by a noble or noble family. The family ruling Raeningi are the Von Mqthijs, with Olary being the sole ruler of the nation. The Lord of Raeningi may also appoint advisors to assist them in the managing of the government.

Founding
Following the founding of Morladron Mysterlu, and the ensuing civil war after the chaos surrounding Olary Von Mqthijs being crowned Pirate-Lord of the nation, the ex-Pirate Lord fled to new lands. In Malucia he found his new home where he began rallying support amongst the populace to overthrow the negligent Kings and replace them with himself. Eventually he threatened the aristocrats with a violent takeover if they did not agree to his demands. To placate Olary, Malucia gave the former Pirate-Lord a barren mesa to form his own nation. It is here where Raeningi was truly born.

Banditry
After establishing the beginnings of a settlement, with a hamlet to call his capital, Olary began plundering nearby lands. Alongside his citizens, warbands of warriors would roam the countryside, robbing, raiding and killing those who stood in their path. Through their exploits, holding important officials hostage, threatening towns with complete destruction, and the burglary of many a mansion, Raeningi became rich.

Despite the spoils and riches of the bandit-kingdom, the unsustainability, and distrust and hatred it drew from neighbouring nations, meant that Olary wanted to reform Raeningi into a more orderly state. Here the modern nation-state of Raeningi was born

Reformation
Olary declared himself Lord of Raeningi, and began constructing a palace for his royal court to work within. As more and more bandits retired for sedentary, stable lives, Raeningi transformed from a simple bandit camp to a thriving trading village. The streets bustled with imported goods within sprawling marketplaces, bought and built with the loot gained from their times as bandits. The nation quickly reformed into a feudal lordship.
