Kallinstrate

This page is ready for review.

Beginnings

The proud Kallinstrate Kingdom claims the Theron island, the largest northern island amongst the human lands of D’hennex. The entire island is ruled by a monarchy, and has been since it broke away from the fabled An-Yneaith Kingdom, hundreds of years ago when the High King chose the Theron island to be his first, and largest colony. Before the human takeover of Theron, the island was inhabited by various demi-human clans. These clans were at best primitive, and although it took years the powerful An-Yneaith armies drove out the barbaric tribes, leaving the Theron island open for formal in habitation.

The High King appointed a powerful commander by the name of Kallin Denholm to lead the scourge of Theron. After a few years of constant military presence the Demi-Human clans had all apparently been destroyed. Upon the cleansing of the Theron island the King, by popular demand, appointed Kallin to be the High King’s voice in the new colony. After his ceremony Kallin left the hall with an oath: he would turn the previously barbaric lands of Theron into a honorable colony of the An-Yneaith kingship. Kallin thought his King would be pleased with his new oath.

When in reality, the High King simply wanted Kallin to run a slave camp. The Theron Island was full of rich minerals and fertile lands. The King advertised good work and cheap land on the new colony. Thus thousands of people moved to Theron hoping for a fresh start. Only to find that the taxes often exceeded the amount of material they produced. The people grew weary and Kallin sympathized with them. For months Kallin had done just as the King had asked, but he was changed when he saw, firsthand, the hardship that the King's taxes were inflicting.

One day the High King sat down and instead of a letter of compliance, the High King received a Deceleration of Independence. There was only a single signature: Kallin Denholm. The King’s wrath sent waves of soldiers streaming into the Theron colony, but by this time the colony had well fortified forts and an established army. Also, the people of the Theron colony discovered many small tribes of demi-humans that survived the initial purge. After many altercations, some peaceful, some not, the people of Theron and the native demi-humans became powerful allies. With the help of the demi-human’s druidic magic the armies of An-Yneaith were defeated time and time again. The High King eventually decided that the undead threat to the south was a more pressing matter and all troops were pulled from Theron.

Soon after the Theron Revolution the An-Yneaith Kingdom crumbled and faded into the dust of time. Kallin Denholm ruled as King, the people rallied under his banner, his judgment was fair and final. He personally saw to it that the native demi-humans were accepted by society, and they were treated just as any citizen of the kingdom would be.

After years of peace, Kallin died. There was a memorial service where Kallin’s son, the new King, named the kingdom after his father: Kallinstrate.

Government

Kallinstrate is a monarchy, ruled by a King, and although the King's wife is called the queen she holds no political power. The King is chosen from the oldest male child from the previous King, for hundreds of years, since the very existence of Kallinstrate, the Denholm family has held the crown. While the King is the ultimate ruler of Kallinstrate, most of the Kingdom is run by an Assembly of Representatives. The Assembly is made up of 70 representatives. The Kingdom of Kallinstrate is divided into 30 courts, each court electing two representatives. The remaining 10 representatives are elected by the king himself.

Within each court there are various townships and local governments that control the day-to-day activities.

Geography/Climate

Lush, thick forests with exotic flowers and greenery make up most of the land, and beautiful beaches that stretch for miles are common place. There is a single mountain range that runs along the southern coast. This mountain range provides excellent defense against southern invaders. The name Draiken was given to the mountain range by the natives, the name was adopted later on by map officials. Being so close to the equator Kallinstrate is always warm, it rains nearly every other day, mostly just after sunset. The mountains are riddled with ores and minerals, one mountain in particular has an ancient mine that provides precious gems to this very day. Map
