Orion
Orion established itself as a local power on the Radiant Coast as the last remaining duchy after the fall of Eventide in 850 DR. During the following centuries, Orion's reputation as a land-fighting force on the Radiant Coast remained unequalled with a small, highly trained standing army supported by the fighter academies that survived the fall of Eventide relocating to Orion. Children of nobles or those with enough money who want the best instruction in fighting, battle planning and warcraft will be found in the many fighting academies of Orion.
Orion occupies a small area in the north-east of the Radiant Coast and is highly urbanised when compared its neighbours.
While not the trading centre that Gramidern is, Orion operates as the jumping off point for expeditions taking the northern Yavimaya highway to Jorentes, and thus still serves as an important trading centre for traders from Faerun.
It has never declared itself a kingdom since the collapse of Eventide and remains a Grand Duchy to this day.
