The Second Kingdom of Old Rudora
The Second Kingdom of Old Rudora is the westernmost of the Kingdoms of man. The kingdom is the successor to the original Rudoran Kingdom which was founded in 132 and lasted until the year 528 when the kingdom was conquerored by Benalon I Ulanala. As Aelven Rule collapsed a second kingdom was proclaimed as a continuation of the previous empire.
In recent history, when the Faith of the Aman proclaimed the Year's End Edict, it was the decision of King Garibald Bourdot that the Second Kingdom would not adhere to the demands of the church. Since this time, there has been frequent skirmishes between the knights of Old Rudora and the Sworn Knights.

Founding & Early History (132-433)
Conflicts With The Kirshani (433-514)
With the costs of the Kirshani Wars slowly bleeding the kingdom's coffers dry, a number of efforts were made to secure their gold. These included the taking on of a number of loans from the Khirinan Empire and Thanedom of Bharbadihr, in order to help counter the interests of these loans, a number of taxes and fees were pressed upon not only the Rudoran Merchants, but on foreign goods. Chief among these, were the spices that came out of the Confederacy of The Frensari, the Frensari council were outraged at these new taxes as it made the cost of business almost impossible to sustain. It was assured to the council by representatives of the court, that these were only temporary while the conflicts with the Kirshani were ongoing and that if the Confederacy was to accept these taxes in the short term, it would be a show of great friendship between them and the kingdom.The Eruption of Gromzug & War With Illalor (514-528)
Ulanallan Rule (528-601)
The Second Kingdom of Old Rudora (602-998)
Occupation of the Wastes (602-645)
The King of Rudora, NAME LASTNAME, sent his armies in to the Wastes to find and raze half of all the villages and towns of Illalor. The remaining settlments, would be kept under military control. Having spent the last generation as a willing servant to the Illalori, the new Rudoran Kingdom was equipped by and trained by the very Aelves they now subjugated.In the immediate aftermath of the second founding, a decree was put out for the creation of three great watchtowers to observe the lands of Illalor. These bcame known as the Lion's Teeth. In each of the towers, relics taken from the Illalori villages were festooned over the hearths of each tower.
Recent Histories (998-1134)
Over the last two centuries, the kingdom has fought for influence over Amanora with the Confederacy of The Frensari , mainly due to the large degree of Rudoran people living within the city, and at least partially due to their shared desires to have a greater degree of control over the Alchemists Guild.When the Year's End Edict was declared in 1134, by the decision of King Garibald Bourdot, the Kingdom refused the faith. Since this time, there has been a period of unrest in the kingdom as all of the High Supplicants and many of the Lesser Supplicants departed for the neigboring Kingdom of Festinian. It was only a few skeptics in the Lesser Supplicants who have stayed and established their own branch of the faith.
