Sondor

Sondor is a historical region in southern Onthukhan. Many nations have controlled its territory throughout history. Today it is a part of the Kingdom of Sondor.

Origins
The Sondorian people have inhabited Eldham since the beginning of the world although the original Sondorian name for the world has been lost to history many Sondorians accept the name given by Rathnir settlers. The Sondor people began as a hunters and gathers, living a nomad life until the discovery of agriculture eventually settling down in the south part of the continent Onthukhan. The Sondorian homeland of Sondor is a tundra woodland of vast spruce forests and hilly terrain, the cold climate and snowy terrain made it difficult to grow many types of food although a berry plant that grows everywhere in cold south of Onthukhan was eventually domesticated by early Sondorian settlers provided a lot nutrients "And eventually a sweet tasting wine" and was easily grown by many Sondorians, They also took to the coast and began fishing due to massive ocean and plenty of rivers that surrounds Sondor this would lead to a population boom and many Sondorians began to branch out to settle other parts of the world.

Founding of Sondor
A major population of Sondorian people would settle and found the town of Osgiliath being located on their ancestral homeland they would try to carve out a kingdom of their own but due to their small population nothing really came of it and would eventually be absorbed into the Razuni Sultanate after they offer protection and security for the Sondorian people although they would rise in political power and within government positions of the Razuni Sultanate.

Cataclysm
Not a lot is know during the time-period that Sondorians scribes dubbed The Cataclysm which was a drastic decrease in the Sondorain population which almost lead to their extinction 'only a few scattered populations throughout the world'. many scribes believed that due to overfishing and a sweet berry blight lead to a massive famines explaining the massive depopulation although other theory's point to something more sinister or magical like the cree war but these are not widely excepted like the first theory.

Resettlement
After a long time of rebuilding and repopulation the Sondorian people were able to rebuild their ancestral and start to rebuild. During this time the Razuni Sultanate was in a state of peaceful bliss and was maintaining the status quo under the watchful eye of sultan Indo Abn Nasir Al Malik. all was going good under the current circumstances due to Sondor currently being occupied by the Nagosi people, though conflicts first arose when the Sondorian people began to recolonize there homeland the Sondorian and Nagosi people began to help one another and eventually friendship would began to form between the two people.

Night of Thousand Tears
The hour was late, the Sondorian people were sleeping peacefully in their homes not aware of the current situation happing couple miles away in the city of Eldia. The treacherous Arianrhod family along side the villainous Nagosi lead a violent coup and slaughter the sultan along with his family and close supporters. Unknown at the time, the peaceful Sondorian people was sleeping when they suddenly woke to noise of screaming and swords clashing. The Nagosi on the orders of the Arianrhod's forced there way into the homes of Osgiliath and began to purged the Sondorian people. unprepared and under armed the Sondorian's where massacred and forced to flee. As the Sondorian people fled their homeland and hide from there Nagosi pursuers they watched as their ancestral home of Osgiliath burn. The only thing that stopped the Sondorian people from being totally purged from the world was the valorous effort of Malar and the Blackwood family who lead a counter attack on Nagosi/Arianrhod forces and caused them to retreat. But sadly the enemy were to great in numbers and fortified themselves into sondor and Razuni forces were forced to retreat back into Al-Razun while they gather their strength and rallied loyal towns to their side to from a front line against the enemy.
