Old Burgundia

(Ber-GUND-ee-ah)

The original Old Burgundia is (c) Frog God Games.

Once the richest of the Borderlands, 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 Lados. The kingdoms 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 Memphis.
Twice the great city of Trevi was besieged, once for 5 years against the Foerdewaith armies of Matagost when the city stood firm, and once for 3 years against the armies of Marg. In the second case, the King of Burgundia had been killed in battle in Southvale and his young son Marteir had been forced to take the throne. Between the young king’s inexperience and the Margian's use of their new cannon technology, the city fell. The Margians 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.
