Ildernia

Ildernia, officially the Kesriate of Ildernia, is a country in southern Onthukhan that is made out of two geographically separated parts: Milland and the Ilder. Ildernia shares a border with Baykonia, Scylding and Gleshanya-Sunovia.

Ildernia was initially established as a Græssiate within Baykonia however would act as an independent state following King Biglrab's coup and formally become one upon its expulsion from Baykonia by King Biglrab.

Ildernia is a unitary absolute monarchy ruled by the de Honse family, with Hugo Ildernestes de Honse as its current Kesr.

Etymology
The name "Ildernia" comes from the Litan word for Eldham, Ilderna, which is also the Ildernian word for Eldham. The etymology for the term "Ilderna" is currently unknown.

Pre-migration
Prior to the Baykonian Migration, the Milland was inhabited by the Millayan tribe, who are described by the Milland Wars to be a tribe who "wanted war, and have everything to destroy". The Milland Wars itself is about a legendary invasion of Legasia, in which the Millayans took part. Nothing is known about the pre-migration history of the Ilder.

Early History (1705-1734)
Enthof Island, the island on which Ilderburg currently lies, was discovered in 1705 during an attempted expedition to Litany by Seved Driets de Honse. According to legend, the expedition got caught in a storm which put them off course and would lead them to discover what would eventually become Neubaykonia. Upon realising this error, the expedition returned to Birkenport, where King Peg of Baykonia got word of the discovery and initiated the Baykonian Migration to the newly discovered lands.

Ilderburg would be established shortly after in 1706 as an estate of Seved Driets de Honse. Ilderburg would be given its name the following year in 1707. Ilderburg became a Barony in 1711 upon the request of Seved Driets de Honse, who was merely the Lord-Mayor of Ilderburg at the time. Ilderburg would also become a Principality in 1713 due to Seved's appointment as Prince and heir to the Baykonian throne, with the Barony of Ilderburg becoming the Prince-Barony of Ilderburg.
