Old Burgundia
Once the richest of the Sundered Kingdoms, Burgundia stood out as a shining example of prosperity and sophistication. From the much-lauded capital of Trevi, with its marble buildings, silvery fountains, and vaunted walls, the kings of Burgundia enjoyed great reputation among monarchs throughout Akados. The kingdom’s finely crafted furniture and unique silver-veined marble were found among the richest across the known world, and even today antique furnishings of Burgundia remain the prized pieces in palace collections from Castorhage to Menefet.
The great city of Trevi was besieged twice, once for five years against the Foerdewaith armies of Matagost when the city stood firm, and once for three years against the armies of Oceanus. In the second case, the king of Burgundia was killed in battle in Southvale and his young son Marteir was forced to take the throne. Between the young king’s inexperience and the Oceanders’ siege engines, the city fell. The Oceanders laid waste to the countryside from Trevi to Parthos and left behind a decimated population and destroyed infrastructure. While many survivors emigrated elsewhere, some few remained behind, though the kingdom never recovered as anything more than a handful of independent towns.
