Of the Járind kingdoms that once ringed the Sea of Iváe, Emélrenè is the last that remains. It is one of Venârivè’s oldest human realms, tracing its origins back to the formation of the Emélan tribal confederation - an event tradition places in bt1602. The confederation evolved into a kingdom in bt670. Like neighbouring Mèlderýn, Emélrenè has a reputation as a centre of the arcane and is able to wield power far greater than its size would otherwise suggest. Even the Empire of Ázeryàn at its peak could not defeat it.

Folk tales of the Eméla people speak of their forbears

emerging from sacred caves beneath the ‘mountains

over many generations to the land between the Es.

Here, legend says, they encountered ancient folk who

taught them many crafts and mysteries, including the

proper ways to venerate the gods. Scholars conjecture

across Emélrenè and the neighbouring regions

were raised by the Eméla during this ancient era.

history as the Uphâri appeared in the east. In response

some of the Járind tribal peoples united in a federation.
 +
Under the tutelage of the Elder Races, they formed the
 +
Covenant of the Es to defend the land from these invaders
 +
and uphold the traditions they had learned. Tradition

dates the foundation of the Emélan Confederation

to bt1602, Year One in the Old Beréman calendar.

Amongst the legends of this period are those of

+
Dákarion, the first Émhlègâr, or High Chief, of the
 +
Émhlè. Dákarion led the united tribes in successful battles
 +
across the Jerinálian Mountains and in Álagon, In
 +
the Fourteenth Century BT his successors established
 +
an alliance with other Járind tribes and in bt1340 the
 +
combined forces halted the Uphâri in what is now central
 +
Shôrkýnè. But by then the Émhlè had grown weary
 +
of warfare - of unreliable allies and incessant waves of
 +
invaders - and they began closing their realm. Walls
 +
were built in Beréma and the frontiers were fortified.
 +
The ambitions of the Émhlègâr turned inward and the
 +
distinctions between the Eméla and their cousin Járind
 +
peoples began to grow more stark.

In the '''<span style="color:#006699">Twelfth Century {{Smallcaps|bt}}</span>''' yet another group of

* A
+
Phâric peoples assaulted Emélrenè, this time from the
 +
south. The Atáni had appeared a few decades earlier
 +
in what is now Palíthanè and had quickly driven the
 +
Járind folk from that land. The confederated Atáni
 +
tribes harassed the Émhlè state for generations. But in
 +
the '''<span style="color:#006699">Ninth Century {{Smallcaps|bt}}</span>''' the Atáni turned their attention to
 +
a land less defended - Hârn. As waves of Atáni sailed
 +
around Emélrenè for Hârn the Émhlè harried them as
 +
they could, but despite these efforts the Atáni established
 +
a foothold on the southern shores of Hârn.

The Atáni continued their migration through the

+
century, forcing the Elder Folk and the Járind tribes
 +
of Hârn slowly to retreat. In bt683 a decisive battle
 +
was fought in southern Hârn, after which the Elder Folk
 +
abandoned their hopes of maintaining control of the
 +
islands. The Sinái took refuge in Eváel, and their ties to
 +
Emélrenè were greatly weakened. The Covenant of the
 +
Es - which linked the Émhlè to the land, the gods and
 +
the Elder Races - could not survive this loss without
 +
amendment. It would soon be replaced.

The Battle of Sorrows on Hârn saw the fall of the

formally abdicated as King of Hârn in bt680, simultaneously

ending his position of leadership under the

Covenant of the Es.

Áranath informed the Émhlègâr, Tredâroth, that it

was now the ‘Time of Men’, and advised that he rule the

Emélan people as a king. The Covenant of the Es was
 +
amended to the Covenant of the Eméla. The new King
 +
retained the sacred responsibility for guarding the land
 +
between the rivers. To the High Priest of the Émhlè, the

Dhéria-Ísvan, was delegated the sacred role that had

Little is known of the first centuries of the kingdom’s
 +
existence. Of the Emélan kings of this period, little is
 +
recorded other than their names and honorifics; they
 +
are variously remembered as ‘bold’, ‘pious’, ‘wise’ or
 +
‘sagacious’. Of their courts, it is known that powerful
 +
arcanists were very influential and sometimes held high
 +
office. In Mèlderýn these centuries are known as the
 +
Eldritch Period - a time when mages dominated, perhaps
 +
even ruled, that island. But the archives of both
 +
Chèrafîr and Beréma are remarkably bereft of historical
 +
documents from this era.
  
−
=== A ===
+
==== Time of Troubles (c.bt450-400) ====
−
* A
+
This long period came to an end during the reign
 +
of King Wíffrè II, ‘the Short’. Conflict appears to have
 +
arisen between the King and factions in the kingdom,
 +
which may have included differing groups of mages
 +
and arcanists. Wíffrè II was succeeded by another king
 +
of the same name, Wíffrè ‘the Bear’, in bt442, and factional
 +
conflict appears to have intensified.
 +
 
 +
The Annals of the Kings tell of the untimely death
 +
of Wíffrè the Bear in bt437, and of a period of strife and
 +
discord lasting four years when no king ruled Emélrenè.
 +
While the official archives say little of this period, there
 +
are a number of folktales that tell of appalling conflict
 +
involving powerful wizards, warlocks and witches.
 +
In bt433 the Dhéria-Ísvan intervened, taking control
 +
of Beréma and holding the throne as regent for the
 +
non-existent king until bt400. Finally a new king was
 +
successfully annointed, King Tredâroth II, ‘the Pale’.
 +
 
 +
==== First Táneri Emélan Wars (c.bt380-250) ====
 +
New misfortune struck Emélrenè soon after the restoration
 +
of royal rule. In bt380 the realm was attacked
 +
by a new and powerful confederation of Phâric warlords
 +
from the south, a people known as the Táneri.
 +
King Tredâroth - apparently acting against the advice
 +
of his advisors - took the fight to the newcomers and
 +
lost his life in a major battle on the Éntano River in
 +
Thánema - now known as Palíthanè. His successor - a
 +
nephew, who later ruled as Tredâroth III - rallied the
 +
Emélan forces and prevented complete disaster.
 +
 
 +
==== Time of Darkness (c.bt350-250) ====
 +
Tredâroth III battled the Táneri more-or-less successfully
 +
for decades. In addition, he several times
 +
rode to the aid of Járind allies in what is now Álagon as
 +
they struggled against the Shôrka. He died in battle in
 +
bt354. The loss of two warrior kings in battle disturbed
 +
the Emélan elite, and the next king, Dákarion, was of a
 +
very different temperament. Known in history as ‘the
 +
Mage’, he restored arcanists to prominence in his court
 +
and applied their knowledge to battle the encroaching
 +
enemies. Dákarion was generally successful against
 +
the Táneri, though Álagon was all but lost for the
 +
Járind. He neglected, however, the essential tasks of
 +
state-building, and Emélrenè was ruled too much by
 +
his personal will and too little by law and tradition. By
 +
the time of his death in bt302 few restraints on royal
 +
power remained.
 +
 
 +
For lack of such curbs his successor, Wíffrè IV,
 +
became known as the ‘the Dark’. In the war against the
 +
Táneri he used ever more unprincipled means. When
 +
bloody victory on the battlefield was not enough, he
 +
brought forth curses - barreness for the Táneri women,
 +
disease for the children, floods for the rivers and hail
 +
for their crops. He died in bt270, perhaps by assassination.
 +
 
 +
A six years interregnum followed. In the discord of
 +
those years there were numerous disappearances and
 +
horrific and unexplained deaths amongst the noble and
 +
arcane communities. In time the Dhéria-Ísvan stepped
 +
in and established another regency - one which lasted
 +
to bt259.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
=== Vásinir Dynasty ===
 +
In bt259, King Pethrás I, the True, was crowned king
 +
of Emélrenè. He is the first ruler about whom more
 +
than simple annalistic records and tales is known, as
 +
he wrote a short autobiography of his reign. This text
 +
records the means by which he reached a series of
 +
accords with the Táneri warlords and chieftains and
 +
brought an end to 130 years of conflict. It also reveals
 +
much of his philosophical outlook and personality, and
 +
has been deeply influential for all later monarchs. It
 +
says little, however, of how he came to be king.
 +
 
 +
With Pethrás, though, it seems the entire concept
 +
of the monarchy changed. From this point forward the
 +
rulers of Emélrenè would all be drawn from a specific
 +
clan’ - in this era, Clan Vásinir. Most of the great noble
 +
houses date their own history to this era, and at this
 +
time heraldry became an institution. In the early years
 +
of the Vásinir Dynasty, Emélrenè evolved from a collection
 +
of tribes to the first truly feudal state of Venârivè.
 +
 
 +
==== Founding of the Emélan Council ====
 +
Along with the feudalisation of the realm came the
 +
appointment of a counterpower to the royal clan. A set
 +
of advisors was established, accorded certain powers
 +
over matters of state, and given independence from the
 +
throne. The Emélan Council has evolved somewhat
 +
from that time. It served as the model for the Mèlderýni
 +
Council of Eleven but today is more expansive than
 +
that body, even requiring a substantial bureaucracy of
 +
its own.
 +
 
 +
==== Links to Mèlderýn’s Five Kingdoms ====
 +
With stability achieved within Emélrenè, the state
 +
turned greater attention to the isle of Mèlderýn.
 +
Mèlderýn was still a complex mix of petty states and
 +
independent chantries orbiting the free and fractious
 +
city of Chèrafîr.
 +
 
 +
By bt230 Emélan influence helped the region coalesce
 +
into five relatively stable kingdoms. A period of
 +
relative amity followed, though there are some passages
 +
in journals of the era that show that not all locals
 +
and arcanists on the island welcomed these developments.
 +
A few prominent loremasters are noted to have
 +
moved to the larger island of Hârn in this period.
 +
 
 +
==== Foundation of Kingdom of Mèlderýn (tr1) ====
 +
Emélan influence also had a role in the eventual
 +
unification of the five Mèlderýni kingdoms into a single
 +
realm. In tr1, Érebîr the Great, King of Birâde, was
 +
crowned King of Mèlderýn. The five kingdoms survived
 +
for several centuries as electors of the Mèlderýni crown
 +
before finally being absorbed into the feudal structure
 +
of the greater state.
 +
 
 +
==== Second Táneri Wars ====
 +
In tr82 war broke out again with the Táneri south
 +
of Beréma. What began as a minor incident was transformed
 +
by diplomatic bungling and militant energy into

a bloody, hard-fought conflict. It raged for over two
 +
decades, consuming the reign of Queen Heitéia I, ‘the

Valiant’, who died in a decisive battle in tr108. Though

Of the Járind kingdoms that once ringed the Sea of Iváe, Emélrenè is the last that remains. It is one of Venârivè’s oldest human realms, tracing its origins back to the formation of the Emélan tribal confederation - an event tradition places in bt1602. The confederation evolved into a kingdom in bt670. Like neighbouring Mèlderýn, Emélrenè has a reputation as a centre of the arcane and is able to wield power far greater than its size would otherwise suggest. Even the Empire of Ázeryàn at its peak could not defeat it.

Ancient Period

Folk tales of the Eméla people speak of their forbears emerging from sacred caves beneath the ‘mountains of the moon’ and a long and arduous migration over many generations to the land between the Es. Here, legend says, they encountered ancient folk who taught them many crafts and mysteries, including the proper ways to venerate the gods. Scholars conjecture that the many henge sites and megaliths that are scattered across Emélrenè and the neighbouring regions were raised by the Eméla during this ancient era.

In the Second Millennium bt, invaders known to history as the Uphâri appeared in the east. In response some of the Járind tribal peoples united in a federation. Under the tutelage of the Elder Races, they formed the Covenant of the Es to defend the land from these invaders and uphold the traditions they had learned. Tradition dates the foundation of the Emélan Confederation to bt1602, Year One in the Old Beréman calendar.

Amongst the legends of this period are those of Dákarion, the first Émhlègâr, or High Chief, of the Émhlè. Dákarion led the united tribes in successful battles across the Jerinálian Mountains and in Álagon, In the Fourteenth Century BT his successors established an alliance with other Járind tribes and in bt1340 the combined forces halted the Uphâri in what is now central Shôrkýnè. But by then the Émhlè had grown weary of warfare - of unreliable allies and incessant waves of invaders - and they began closing their realm. Walls were built in Beréma and the frontiers were fortified. The ambitions of the Émhlègâr turned inward and the distinctions between the Eméla and their cousin Járind peoples began to grow more stark.

In the Twelfth Century bt yet another group of Phâric peoples assaulted Emélrenè, this time from the south. The Atáni had appeared a few decades earlier in what is now Palíthanè and had quickly driven the Járind folk from that land. The confederated Atáni tribes harassed the Émhlè state for generations. But in the Ninth Century bt the Atáni turned their attention to a land less defended - Hârn. As waves of Atáni sailed around Emélrenè for Hârn the Émhlè harried them as they could, but despite these efforts the Atáni established a foothold on the southern shores of Hârn.

The Atáni continued their migration through the century, forcing the Elder Folk and the Járind tribes of Hârn slowly to retreat. In bt683 a decisive battle was fought in southern Hârn, after which the Elder Folk abandoned their hopes of maintaining control of the islands. The Sinái took refuge in Eváel, and their ties to Emélrenè were greatly weakened. The Covenant of the Es - which linked the Émhlè to the land, the gods and the Elder Races - could not survive this loss without amendment. It would soon be replaced.

Early Kingdom

Foundation of the Kingdom (bt670)

The Battle of Sorrows on Hârn saw the fall of the Sináin King of Hârn, Daélda. His successor, Áranath, formally abdicated as King of Hârn in bt680, simultaneously ending his position of leadership under the Covenant of the Es.

Áranath informed the Émhlègâr, Tredâroth, that it was now the ‘Time of Men’, and advised that he rule the Emélan people as a king. The Covenant of the Es was amended to the Covenant of the Eméla. The new King retained the sacred responsibility for guarding the land between the rivers. To the High Priest of the Émhlè, the Dhéria-Ísvan, was delegated the sacred role that had previously belonged to the Sináin Kings of Hârn.

In bt670, by the authority of the Covenant of the Eméla, the Dhéria-Ísvan crowned Tredâroth as King of Emélrenè, inaugurating a new sacred pact.

Eldritch Period (c.bt650-400)

Little is known of the first centuries of the kingdom’s existence. Of the Emélan kings of this period, little is recorded other than their names and honorifics; they are variously remembered as ‘bold’, ‘pious’, ‘wise’ or ‘sagacious’. Of their courts, it is known that powerful arcanists were very influential and sometimes held high office. In Mèlderýn these centuries are known as the Eldritch Period - a time when mages dominated, perhaps even ruled, that island. But the archives of both Chèrafîr and Beréma are remarkably bereft of historical documents from this era.

Time of Troubles (c.bt450-400)

This long period came to an end during the reign of King Wíffrè II, ‘the Short’. Conflict appears to have arisen between the King and factions in the kingdom, which may have included differing groups of mages and arcanists. Wíffrè II was succeeded by another king of the same name, Wíffrè ‘the Bear’, in bt442, and factional conflict appears to have intensified.

The Annals of the Kings tell of the untimely death of Wíffrè the Bear in bt437, and of a period of strife and discord lasting four years when no king ruled Emélrenè. While the official archives say little of this period, there are a number of folktales that tell of appalling conflict involving powerful wizards, warlocks and witches. In bt433 the Dhéria-Ísvan intervened, taking control of Beréma and holding the throne as regent for the non-existent king until bt400. Finally a new king was successfully annointed, King Tredâroth II, ‘the Pale’.

First Táneri Emélan Wars (c.bt380-250)

New misfortune struck Emélrenè soon after the restoration of royal rule. In bt380 the realm was attacked by a new and powerful confederation of Phâric warlords from the south, a people known as the Táneri. King Tredâroth - apparently acting against the advice of his advisors - took the fight to the newcomers and lost his life in a major battle on the Éntano River in Thánema - now known as Palíthanè. His successor - a nephew, who later ruled as Tredâroth III - rallied the Emélan forces and prevented complete disaster.

Time of Darkness (c.bt350-250)

Tredâroth III battled the Táneri more-or-less successfully for decades. In addition, he several times rode to the aid of Járind allies in what is now Álagon as they struggled against the Shôrka. He died in battle in bt354. The loss of two warrior kings in battle disturbed the Emélan elite, and the next king, Dákarion, was of a very different temperament. Known in history as ‘the Mage’, he restored arcanists to prominence in his court and applied their knowledge to battle the encroaching enemies. Dákarion was generally successful against the Táneri, though Álagon was all but lost for the Járind. He neglected, however, the essential tasks of state-building, and Emélrenè was ruled too much by his personal will and too little by law and tradition. By the time of his death in bt302 few restraints on royal power remained.

For lack of such curbs his successor, Wíffrè IV, became known as the ‘the Dark’. In the war against the Táneri he used ever more unprincipled means. When bloody victory on the battlefield was not enough, he brought forth curses - barreness for the Táneri women, disease for the children, floods for the rivers and hail for their crops. He died in bt270, perhaps by assassination.

A six years interregnum followed. In the discord of those years there were numerous disappearances and horrific and unexplained deaths amongst the noble and arcane communities. In time the Dhéria-Ísvan stepped in and established another regency - one which lasted to bt259.


Vásinir Dynasty

In bt259, King Pethrás I, the True, was crowned king of Emélrenè. He is the first ruler about whom more than simple annalistic records and tales is known, as he wrote a short autobiography of his reign. This text records the means by which he reached a series of accords with the Táneri warlords and chieftains and brought an end to 130 years of conflict. It also reveals much of his philosophical outlook and personality, and has been deeply influential for all later monarchs. It says little, however, of how he came to be king.

With Pethrás, though, it seems the entire concept of the monarchy changed. From this point forward the rulers of Emélrenè would all be drawn from a specific clan’ - in this era, Clan Vásinir. Most of the great noble houses date their own history to this era, and at this time heraldry became an institution. In the early years of the Vásinir Dynasty, Emélrenè evolved from a collection of tribes to the first truly feudal state of Venârivè.

Founding of the Emélan Council

Along with the feudalisation of the realm came the appointment of a counterpower to the royal clan. A set of advisors was established, accorded certain powers over matters of state, and given independence from the throne. The Emélan Council has evolved somewhat from that time. It served as the model for the Mèlderýni Council of Eleven but today is more expansive than that body, even requiring a substantial bureaucracy of its own.

Links to Mèlderýn’s Five Kingdoms

With stability achieved within Emélrenè, the state turned greater attention to the isle of Mèlderýn. Mèlderýn was still a complex mix of petty states and independent chantries orbiting the free and fractious city of Chèrafîr.

By bt230 Emélan influence helped the region coalesce into five relatively stable kingdoms. A period of relative amity followed, though there are some passages in journals of the era that show that not all locals and arcanists on the island welcomed these developments. A few prominent loremasters are noted to have moved to the larger island of Hârn in this period.

Foundation of Kingdom of Mèlderýn (tr1)

Emélan influence also had a role in the eventual unification of the five Mèlderýni kingdoms into a single realm. In tr1, Érebîr the Great, King of Birâde, was crowned King of Mèlderýn. The five kingdoms survived for several centuries as electors of the Mèlderýni crown before finally being absorbed into the feudal structure of the greater state.

Second Táneri Wars

In tr82 war broke out again with the Táneri south of Beréma. What began as a minor incident was transformed by diplomatic bungling and militant energy into a bloody, hard-fought conflict.

Chapters and Sections

to UPDATE: with Chapters (breakdown) by each Heading type (list Font Name/Type (Italic, Bold, etc.), Size, and Key for description). All this will breakdown and make things easier later on when it comes time to figure out the wiki layout, templates required, and code for special additions like Headers & Foots and so on.

  • Book Title: Albertus-Bold 96pt
    • Credits: AmasisMT,Bold 14pt
    • Chapter Title: Korinna-Bold 18pt (Header Title Name: Korinna-Bold 14pt/Header Section/Page#: Korinna-Bold 18pt)
      • Chapter subheading: Korinna-Bold 14pt
        • Chapter section: Korinna-Bold 12pt
          • Chapter Text Intro: AmasisMT-Regular 12pt
            • Chapter Text: AmasisMT-Regular 10pt
  • Chapter sidebar Header: Korinna-Bold 10pt
    • Chapter sidebar Text: AmasisMT-Regular 9pt
  • Place these in layered bullets lists and add font to code, possibly even a template for each font making a wiki system for Styles (as in MS Word).
  • Add a "Template:{{Infobox game}}" & "{{Primarysources}}" from HârnMaster at wikipedia.
  • Add Header and foot style to each page via templates.


Name & Dates List

Note: ADD a proper/seperate page for this all as a table. Once broken down into the Book Style like Kanday's split page style, can then add Category for each section part so that a complete list then gets made for all the pages for "said name". The once this is done, can then add this comprehensive list to "that" Index Section for "Category". In the end the aim is to create a complete "Name & Dates List/Index" so all the LINKS for names can then not only be categorised, but also interlinked between ALL articles and books, especially for DATES as this will be required to create a comprehensive Chronology Timeline and quick inter-referencing of the subject link(s).

Note: ADD links to each Name & Date within the Tabled Index, these should also include Eras & Periods for dates.

Note: INCLUDE all these into the Template (Sidebars & other data) Tables and so on.

Note: Example: Mercenary Companies would not only have a template for the Company, but be interlinked with that Type as a Category reflecting and showing Country, Shire, Hundred, Leader, Associated to/Sponsor, Location/Region and all other manner of data links within the design of the template and interact automatically with other templates, catergories, and index link lists.

Note: Example: A river would have a sidebar template that includes it's source length and so on, but also show not only the Catergories & Names, but be reflected within each of those Categories & Names Listed together. Basically internested Data, Links, Catergories, and so on to save redoing all links again with new pages or modifications, it automatically gets updated once interconnected correctly.
