Dorwynne

The Center Kingdom. Dorwynne lies in the direct center of Brenael and is surrounded by the other five kingdoms. Dorwynne is known for its prosperous farming region, it’s moderately successful trade routes, and its former ruler’s commitment to peace.

History
Dorwynne was first founded by Hedrik the Lost King. Hedrik was a bloody warlord looking for lands to temporarily rest is bloodthirsty war band as a staging area for continued conquest. After a foolish crusade south east to rid the area of Elves, Hedrik and his army never returned to the area. The remaining support forces in the area settled in the area noticing the fertile lands. Hedrik’s second in command, Dorwynne Lendhand was appointed ruler, but his lineage was cut short by an assassin in 4235ARRL. The next king for Dorwynne was Galvently McDonovan, who was successful in launching a Dynasty. That has survived until this day.

King Oldonas McDonovan
the lineage of McDonovan’s has been a bloody one at best. They continued the reign of terror precedent by Hedrik for the region, although the early years of McDonovan rule were peaceful and prosperous, and in a short order an army was raised. The areas of Dorwynne were pillaged on a regular basis until the days of King Nasrit McDonovan, King Oldonas’s father. Nasrit was one of the first peaceful McDonovan’s and made sure to pay reparations to the lands his family had pillaged in his name. It wasn’t until an advisor approached him with a wild idea for how a city could be run that McDonovan knew what his goal was in life, to form the city of Clarion. It took him 15 years of diplomacy to convince the other nations to put forward as much effort and support for the city project, but in the end he was successful. He didn’t live long enough to see the 30 year build project his life’s goal to continue the ideals of his father. Oldonas also made it his mission to continue his father’s peace efforts. With Oldonas’s assistance, Clarion prospered. In just a few years Dorwynne’s capital and Clarion became like sister cities with Clarion becoming a peacekeeping force in the region.
