JesseLowe/Inaria
Inaria lies between the Meander and Yellow Rivers in the east of Creation. Inaria is a fairly isolated kingdom concerned mostly with its own affairs and internal intrigues. They were part of the Realm millennia ago, but not since the Great Contagion. Today, the court pays nominal attention to Immaculate Order, but in many parts of the country, respect for the order is no stronger than to local gods and spirits.
In RY 762, Inaria went through a civil war as a faction of nobles led by an outcaste Dragon-Blooded (Emyr of Seven-Bridged Hills) overthrew King Caderyn the Brave, whose incompetence was driving the country to ruin. The House of Lanybri was instrumental in Emyr’s success. After the coronation of Emyr, it slowly became evident that he was a puppet of the Realm. Feeling both betrayed and invaded, a noble named Hotspur led a revolt against Emyr with the aid of his uncle, Lord Peredur of the Broken Valley, and the leader of some barbarians further west (Esos the Wolf). The revolt failed, but Hotspur was Exalted as a Solar at the final battle.
Inaria is modelled on England as portrayed in Shakespeare's histories, and uses (probably abuses) Welsh naming conventions.
Cities of Inaria:
Cydweli
Cydweli is the capital. It sits at the junction of the Meander and the Yellow Rivers, more or less. Actually, it's about a mile upstream of the junction, since the two rivers create something of a marsh where they meet. Cydweli is on the Meander, but has two good roads leading away from it, toward Crymych and Tregaron.
- Lanybri (on the Yellow)
- Crymych (on the Yellow)
- Tregaron (on the Meander)
