The Kingdom of Valendor is the largest human population on Tymora, a vast and prosperous realm where diversity and unity exist in a delicate balance. It is said to be the homeland of the first humans on Carcer. As one of the most advanced and thriving civilizations on the continent, Valendor owes its success to its fertile fields, abundant natural resources, and innovative spirit. These advantages have propelled the kingdom to unparalleled heights, allowing its people to enjoy prosperity unmatched by any other human society.
However, not all Valendor’s citizens have embraced this progress. While many regions have welcomed change and technological advancement with open arms, there remain enclaves of staunch traditionalists who cling to the old ways. This tension between tradition and innovation creates a dynamic and often contentious social landscape.
The kingdom’s political structure revolves around a network of semi-autonomous duchies. Each duchy is led by a powerful duke or duchess whose authority is symbolized by their bond with a majestic dragon. These dragons are far more than mere beasts; they are revered as living embodiments of power, unity, and cultural identity. Their presence is deeply woven into Valendor’s military, mythology, and everyday life, making them central to the kingdom’s character and legacy.
The Duchies
The Kingdom of Valendor is a land of breathtaking diversity, stretching across a wide array of terrains that shape its culture, economy, and daily life. From the frozen reaches of Skargmir in the north to the imposing Dragonspire Mountains in the south, Valendor’s geography is varied and majestic. The kingdom is bordered by the Grass Sea and the Plain of Bones to the west and boasts an extensive eastern coastline, where bustling ports connect Valendor to the rest of the world. Its vast landscapes include fertile valleys, rugged mountain ranges, and mystical forests teeming with life.
The Kingdom is divided into 9 separate regions, 8 are ruled by the Dukes and Duchesses with the 9th being the capital city and surrounding lands which are ruled directly by the King. Each dutchie has a capital city which is the reigning Dukes permanent home.
