Falorum

The Kingdom (and later Empire) of Falorum is said to have been founded by the descendants of the line of Signý, Hero-King of Mankind. The Imperial Line of Falorum has continued, unbroken, from the questionably legendary founding of the kingdom on the shores of Lake Carlen many centuries ago until the current day.

The northernmost portions of the Empire of Falorum are made up of two kingdoms: The Kingdom of Falorum proper, and the Kingdom of Siliere. The two are nestled in the inner foothills between the two Spines and the Golden Desert. They feature temperate climates in the north and central regions, and warm climates in the south. Much of the region is lightly forested and ideal for seasonal agriculture. The northern parts of both Falorum and Siliere are notably more heavily forested. Glenwood is a big producer of timber for the empire, and its game-lands are popular among the nobility.

With its source where the White Spine and Grey Spine converge, the River Nichelle flows through the western part of the Kingdom of Falorum. Connected to the river is Lake Carlen, on whose shores sits the imperial capital of Carlen.

Marshland is also present in both the Kingdom of Falorum and Siliere, most notably Turelle Bog in the southern part of the Kingdom of Falorum.

The seven kingdoms that make up the Empire of Falorum, and their official time of incorporation is as follows:

  1. Falorum (500 FD, founding)
  2. Siliere (928 FD)
  3. Desert (1065 FD)
  4. Meisse (1102 FD)
  5. The Dales (1181 FD)
  6. Farkas (1447 FD)
