Kingdom of Dragwyn

The Kingdom of Dragwyn was a Feudal Monarchy located on the eastern coast of Nieden. It was founded on 3/5/21 by migrants from the Atheli Trade Federation, via the efforts of the late Athel_Wulf. The Kingdom fell apart after struggling to maintain a steady population. What was left of the ruling class went on to live a nomadic lifestyle.

The Migration and Conversion of the Atheli
Fearing lack of growth and economic stagnation within the cold islands of the Atheli Trade Federation, their Viceroy Athel_Wulf looked to move his realm somewhere in the unclaimed lands of the former Escharien Empire. Unsure of whether he would be allowed to settle these lands, he convened with the Escharien Spirits. After doing so he agreed to convert to the Soleannen faith and was baptized in the flooded ruins of Lileanen.

After his conversion, Athel publicly announced the dissolution of the Atheli Trade Federation and declared himself King of Dragwyn. Becoming Athel 1st of the house of Wulf. His first decree as king ordered all who still reside on former A.T.F islands to move to the new realm in Dragwyn. Overnight A.T.F cities like Colonia, Lachsvile, and the Eshana Atoll were all abandoned as their populous either migrated to the new kingdom, or fled to other nations.

The early Kingdom
Upon their arrival, the Atheli migrants began construction of the city of Grandwyn. Building houses, mines, farms, and roads that connected to already existing roads. The construction of a large castle atop the largest hill in Grandwyn was also started, with Athel personally overseeing it's construction.

The death of Athel I
Athel's reign and ambitions of a grand new kingdom did not last long. On March 7, 2021 the kings steward Nach2 was robbed just outside of Grandwyn by two iron armor clad bandits. Athel, having seen the robery take place, charged after the bandits alone. Why he did this is unknown, but it is suspected he overestimated his advantage of enchanted diamond gear. Unprepared for combat, and without reinforcement, King Athel I met his untimely demise. His corpse was looted of his high end gear and metals. Having no heir, spouse, or family to speak of the throne was left abandoned.

The kingdom post Athel
The kingdom was left in a dire sate. The bandits, by killing and looting two people, had effectively bankrupted the entire nation. Without a purpose to stick around, and with bandits now roaming the roads. Many people in the Kingdom opted to migrate to other nations.
