Archduchy of Reyllea

The Archduchy of Reyllea is a region within Theios-Essukdal located in Aldovir on the Alteniquia n continent to the west of the Atsyllean Sea. It is currently ruled over by Gidesh Kerplis Everthorne Elernel of Lardburg.

History and Structure
Following the death of King Amaury de Reyllea, the Kingdom was inherited by the Ningal MisticCrafter of Theios-Essukdal who briefly acted as the Queen of Reyllea before partitioning the land with The Kingdom of Sironia as a gesture of good will with the fellow Sakrelism nation. The remaining territory was fully integrated into Theios-Essukdal as an Archduchy divided into three counties.

Soon after formation of the Archduchy, the nation of Icanstan was integrated into the County of Rosecella with its leader Rockfish becoming Sahrad of Icanscella, the new capital of Reyllea created from the merge of the former Icanstan capital of Gora-Morska and Rosecella.

Following the land gift to Sironia seen on the left, the former Count of Urnu-Arrak and First Jagdasian Emperor of Yimmu Audal,  StoryStudio Audalad was appointed to rule the region, now as Gidesh (Archduke) de Reyllea, Count of Rosecella. Upon his appointment, StoryStudio appointed the former Reyllead rebel leader Magnentius of Rhodia as the Count of Centuri. However, this title was soon passed on to Centurion of Myractus.

The capital city of Icanscella is divided into several Buroughs. A capital Nadu is responsible for each Burough. These Nadae make up the Icanscellad Senate, which acts together to govern the capital city and the former Icanstan territory. Red being the Borough of Rosecella, blue being the Borough of Urnu-Audal, and yellow being the Borough of Gora-Morska.

Following the death of StoryStudio, The sahrad and Caeron Kerplis Everthorne Elernel of Lardburg was appointed as Gidesh by his predecessor. Gidesh Kerplis assigned Drakakus as the Count of Kongleon, Rockfish as the Count of Roscella, and kept Centurion of Myractus as the Count of Centuri. He also made both Icanscella and Lardburg capitals of the realm, keeping Icanscella the administrative capital while making Lardburg the cultural and religious capital.

Internal Divisions
Reyllea is divided into three counties: the Counties of Kongleon, Roscella, and Centuri. The Gidesh Kerplis rules over these domains from the Reyllead Archduchy capital of Icanscella.

Culture
Reyllea possesses a unique mix of Audalad and Pontaniedian influence which works its way over the ancient medieval architecture which dates to the King Amuary de Reyllea period.

Alongside these two cultures, it is also home to the unique Lardburgian culture, situated mainly around the easter coast of the Archduchy, but currently spreading all over the Archduchy.

Language
Hithersince the arrival of the Gidesh StoryStudio, Audalad has become the Archduchy's official language. While the historic Amaury-Era names of exiting settlements will not be changed to Audalad names, new settlements are generally planned to be titled in an Audalad-influenced form, but maintaining their unique Reyllead phonetic atmosphere.

With the introduction of the Audalad language, the old plural denonym of "Reylleans" used prior to the Theios-Essukdal inheritance, has been changed to "Reyldae" - the personified plural form of people from Reyllea.

On the other hand, the structure of Audalad's differentiation between personified and non-personified plurals has created another adjective and singular denonym: "Reyllead" referring as an adjective of anything "of Reyllea."

The recently settled Lardburgian people have started using the native Audalad language, forming a unique dialect which is mutually intelligible to Audalad, but not to Old Lardburgian, which still remains somewhat used amongst the Lardburgian plebs.

The Centuri Family
Before becoming a part of Theios-Essukdal, the Island of Centuri, also known as Rhodia (now the County of Centuri) was owned by the Pontiniedan Count Magnentius of Rhodia within the Amaury-Era Reyllean state. However, do to his familial ties with the Theios-Essukdalad Sahrad Centurion of Myractus and the then heavily declining state that Reyllea was in under its last independent King, Magnentius declared independence as the Kingdom of Rhodia in an effort to join Theios-Essukdal, which promptly occurred the next day, after which Centurion gave control of Myractus to the Theios-Essukdalad citizen Silverchu and was appointed the Count of Centuri.

The Gidesh StoryStudio named Rhodia the County of Centuri to honor the powerful Pontaniedian family of the region. The Pontaniedains in Reyllea are known for their close familial ties and a similar to the Amary-Era Reyllean architectural style.

Lardburg
The kingdom of Reyllea is home to the newly arrived culture of the Lardburgians, who settled on the eastern coasts near Rhodia with the permission of Count Centurion, establishing the city of Lardburg. The lardburgian society is ruled over by their elected leader, the Caeron, who at this time was Kerplis Everthorne of the Elernel dynasty. Kerplis gained a lot of power from the fact that he controlled the Lardburgians, and he was even appointed as patriarch to the new Reyllean Realm before eventually succeeding StoryStudio as Gidesh. Lardburg was named the cultural and religious capital of the kingdom, and is growing fast.
