Nándor

Nándor also historically known as Southern Syltör is a region or subcontinent that is located south of the Fornosian Ranges, the Savras Swamps, the Trans-Norfthornic Tundra, and west of the Ryzani Highlands. Nándor is largely composed of the sub-regions of Endanor (or the Heartlands), the Vorosanic Savanna, the Ha Anga Bayou, and the Ashuran Desert covering much of the southern part of the region, down toward the Viridian Hills, and ending at around the Sharuhen Desert to the southwest. Nándor also includes the Tacuan Jungle, the Celume Desert, and the greater Mîn Desert, which is currently inaccessible. The deserts of Nándor comprise the northernmost end of the Great Western Desert Belt.

The Great Southern Ocean, the Lothranis Sea and the Endless Sea meet at the points of the southwest, and surround the area on multiple sides besides the north, which is composed of the Gulf of Ryzan.

Etymology
Nándor comes from an Aurlûnoren word which means Southland. This word originates from the mixture between the words Nánxi in Dawouic and -dori in Middle Almadoric. In the Old Paxian Language, the region is named Pautör which still has not been deciphered.

History
Nándor has always been largely dominated by the early Human groups that had migrated in the region, as well as the Seraanmai. Much of the bigger events had happened once the Elven Migrations kicked off during the year 9888SPP, where the City-State of Ardol would arrive into the region, and eventually migrated north to found the city of Sachómar, which would later become the massive Kingdom of Almador. At the same time, Ancient Ashura would also exist, as well as the Queendom of Hampo. Multiple centuries later, the devastating Warring Period of the Almadorians destroyed much of the mighty civilization that has existed throughout the country, with the rise of the Two Kingdoms, Melwende and Linye vying for power, before the rise of Sareariel Lelya-Earcala and the Aurlûnor Velande.

North of the chaotic wasteland that was happening in the Heartlands, the Kingdom of Norfthorn would start to establish itself, and saw itself grow past it's primitive tribal period. Unlike the other states that would be related to their Andornic bretheren, Norfthorn would see itself expand it's borders eastward, and establish itself as a relative large power. It would go on to establish the fort of Areska, and multiple other now abandoned forts such as The Brittle Keep. Norfthorn would be seen as the barrier of the region for quite some time, and the northern shield until it's own decline and subsequent conflict with a semi-united Andorn later down the line, reducing it's stretch significantly westward, even becoming a vassal of the Aurlûnor for a time.

Besides the northern part of Nándor, the southern part remained relatively quiet and largely unsettled. Though many dune elf tribes migrated around the region, not much happened in the region up until the arrival of the Order of the Green far later during the Aurlûnor Velande's later Golden Age. This period, by many scholars, would be where Aurlûnor's dominance of the region would end. The Order of the Green would later come to establish the nation of Viridian, which it would swiftly come to conquer the declining and collapsing Second Dominion of Ashura. The Takumakken Empire would also expand throughout eastern Nándor, even attempting to attack further into the slowly declining Aurlûnor by establishing Sokalis on top of the conquered city of Yi.

Necua Hopolois took opportunity to attempt to make a stake in nationhood, but had disappeared.

Far later, Alda would settle in the southern regions upon Huitca's takeover of the former Viridian territory during the Partition of Viridian, and would start to cement itself as a new, and growing large power.

Agnarian would also have a piece of the Sharuhen Desert for a period of time as well, but it was never formally recognized by the Aurlûnor Velande, with the twos relations being extremely tense, and to this day, denying Agnarian culture and existence.

The modern political state of Nándor has had little conflict with eachother. Rather, outside powers that would come to invade it. Multiple conflicts such as the Barbarian Rallies (which mostly involved the Aurlûnor fighting nomadic tribes which would later be coined the nickname "squatters" as a slur that would come from the mouths of the Aurlûnorens who uttered "Hacaers!". Although this might be a mistranslation.), the Red Sun Campaign and the Travatar Incident occurred. The Aldan-Dreondorian War had also occurred, as well as the subsequent conquest of Agnarian's Syltör holdings, and eventually onto it's isles that are apart of Ummarnu itself.

Ryzan is often considered apart of the region, despite it's capital being in Syltör. But with the territory of Deutzan in Nándor, which is in close proximity to Tossagrad, this is often stated as fact. Multiple conflicts and major conflicts, even world wars over the region between them and Aurlûnor as well as it's predecessor state, Almador, occurred. To this day, Deutzan would be the most disputed territory in the whole of Rathnir and Eldham, with both sides claiming each side as their own, and changing hands multiple times.

Disputes over Nándor and Syltör
The region in itself has had a long history of drawn-out controversy over namely its identity within the world. As many would classify this area as apart of Syltör, it is often dragged in to the general chaos that usually happens in the continent's north and east, mostly, the conflicts between any iteration of Bardonia and Ryzan, and the varying governments and civil war that happens in Andorn.
