Yarus Kingdom
Yarus is a kingdom in the eastern Ceti bordering the Kingdom of Jorentes. Yarus is named after a chondathan tribe who originated from the continent of Faeurn and landed in eastern Hadean more than 1,500 years ago. From there they migrated westwards and finally settled in the Ceti.
Yarus was one of the many small states comprising the Stone Commonwealth before its decimation by the Helegu Khaganate 300 years ago. After a century long struggle, Yarus became fully independent of the Helegu Silver Host in 1430.
Since freeing themselves from the Helegu yolk they have incorporated some smaller settlements that were also formerly of the Stone Commonwealth and now border the much larger Kingdom of Jorentes in the east.

Trade & Transport
Yarus was highly mercantile before the Helegu invasion with small standing armed forces, relying primarily of mercenaries and protection pacts with other nations within the Stone Commonwealth.
As the only member of the Stone Commonwealth intact after the Helegu invasion, Yarus has increased its military presence but with its freedom is once again busily establishing trade relations across all of northern Zapaden, including with its former masters in the Blue Helegu Host.
