The Great Kingdom of Aerdy, commonly referred to as the Great Kingdom, was a major nation-state which dominated the south-eastern Flanaess from 1 CY until 586 CY. It was heavily influential, originating the Common language, Common Year calendar, and the gold/silver/copper coinage standard used throughout the Flanaess.
History[edit | edit source]
Great Migrations[edit | edit source]
In the year 1 OR (-644 CY), conflict between the Baklunish Empire and the Suel Imperium threatened to engulf the regions inhabited by the Oeridians tribes. The Oeridians headed east through the Fals Gap and into the Flanaess, and migrated eastward until they reached the great ocean and could go no further. They named this ocean the Solnor, meaning "the birthplace of the sun", and settled along its shores.[1]
The dominant tribe among the Oeridians was the Aerdi, whose name meant "sky people". The settled lands were divided among individual Aerdi noble families, notably the houses of Garasteth, Cranden, Darmen, Rax, and Naelax. Coming into conflict with the Ur-Flan and Suel peoples in the region, they discovered a pressing need to unify the scatterned Oeridian tribes under a single leader.[1]
Kingdom of Aerdy[edit | edit source]
In 428 OR (-217 CY),[2] Lord Mikar of House Garasteth was crowned the first Grand Prince of Aerdy. The lands within his rule were known as the the Kingdom of Aerdy, and their capital in Rel Astra.[1]
The Kingdom of Aerdy set about expanding throughout the Flanmi Basin, spending its early decades conquering the neighbouring Flan and Suel. They pushed south the Suel, crushed the old Flan kingdom of Ahlissa to the southwest, and conquered rival Oeridian tribes to the north who had settled there after them.[1]
Great Kingdom[edit | edit source]
In 535 OR (-110 CY), during the reign Grand Prince Almor II, House Rax defeated its western rival Nyrond in the Battle of a Fortnight's Length. With the conquest of Nyrond, Aerdy nearly doubled in size, declaring itself the Great Kingdom of Aerdy and beginning the nation's imperial era. House Cranden rose to prominence over the next century.[1]
In 645 OR (1 CY), Grand Prince Nasran of House Cranden declared universal peace throughout his empire. He established the Common Year calendar, with the new year established as 1 CY. He took the new title of Overking, which would be used by all subsequent rulers. This move centralized power in the capital at Rauxes, which initially posed challenges to the Overking due to the difficulty of governing such a large realm.[1]
To solve this, he appointed largely autonomous viceroys to rule over each province. by 100 CY, during the reign of Overking Manshen of Rax, there were four viceroys, with House Cranden ruling South Province from Zelradton, and House Naelax controlling North Province from Eastfair. Manshen divided the western marklands into the Viceroyalty of Nyrond, ruled by a junior branch of House Rax from Rel Mord, and and the Viceroyalty of Ferrond, ruled from Dyvers.[1]
In 75 CY, Overking Tenmeris died and was succeeded by his wife Yalranda, the first and only Overqueen of the Great Kingdom, and an influential member of House Rax-Nyrond but a Cranden by marriage. When Yalranda died at the age of 40, her son Manshen broke with tradition to take the name of House Rax-Nyrond.[3]
By 100 CY, the Great Kingdom stretched the entire breadth of the Flanaess, from the Solnor Ocean to the Fals Gap, and as far north as Perrenland and the north and northeast of the Vesve Forest, and from Sunndi to the Griff-Corusk mountains.[3] It continued to grow over the next century under the rule of the Overkings of House Rax, notably the ambitious Erhart I and Toran I.[1]
Age of Great Sorrow[edit | edit source]
In 198 CY, Selvor the Younger prophecied an Age of Great Sorrow. A brief hysteria occurred among the superstitious Aerdi.[1]
In 213 CY, Overking Jiranen died after the end of a long reign. His son Malev rejected the throne, secretly auctioning it off to his cousin Zelcor. A total solar eclipse occured during Zelcor's coronation, taken by the Royal Astrologers as a confirmation of Selvor's prophecy. Zelcor ignored the warning, and simply disbanded the Royal Astrologers and banished them to Rel Astra.[1]
This began an era of decline for the Great Kingdom, with successive Overkings being increasingly decadent and incompetent, leading to the gradual collapse of the Great Kingdom. Ferrond declared independence in 254 CY, followed by Veluna, Tenh, and Perrenland. Nyrond declared independence in 356 CY during the reign of Overking Portillan, whose attempts to reconquer the territory were blocked by an attack on the Great Kingdom's heartlands by Flan barbarians. The Urnst states and Theocracy of the Pale would soon follow Nyrond's example and declare their own independence.[1][3]
Subsequent Rax Overkings were poor leaders. Portillan's son Galren was a fool, and Galren's son Sonnend was a drunkard with no interest for affairs of state. Subsequent rulers were weak and ineffectual, leading princes to act increasingly independently of the Overking and even fight amongst each other. House Naelax began to rise in the late 300s CY, using humanoid mercenaries and aligning itself with the church of Hextor.[3]
Turmoil Between Crowns[edit | edit source]
The last decade of the rule of Overking Nalif was marred by internal schisms. House Rax was unable to present a strong contender for Nalif's heir, leading to agreement among the major noble houses that it was time for change. However, the houses had no agreement as to who would succeed Nalif. This controversy would be recognized as the beginning of a succession crisis known as the Turmoil Between Crowns.[4]
In 437 CY, Overking Nalif of House Rax was assassinated by House Naelax.[5] The herzog of North Province, the charismatic and ambitious Ivid of Naelax, made a claim to the throne, which was supported by most (but not all) of House Naelax. His primary contender to the throne was the herzog of South Province, Galssonan of Cranden. Naelax was opposed by House Cranden, much of House Garasteth, and the remains of House Rax.[4] Numerous smaller contenders.[6]
The dispute resulted in a period of civil war lasting nine years, during which assassination of nobles and shifting of alliances were common. Several noble houses resorted to in-fighting or settling old scores with rival houses. The war ended in 446 CY when Ivid I was crowned Overking, due in large part to the death of all other viable contenders.[4][6]
The resulting lasted nine years, ending in 446 CY with the crowning of Ivid I and the granting of greater autonomy to the provinces of Medegia, Rel Astra, Almor, North Province,[citation needed] Bone March,[citation needed] and Ahlissa.[citation needed][5]
Regrettably, the Turmoil Between Crowns also resulted in the destruction of the Royal Guild of Navigators, the august body responsible for developing a more accurate method of navigating the oceans and seas of Oerth, by creating a system of longitude and latitude. (0° longitude was established so as to run through the capital, Rauxes, while 0° latitude was determined to run along the Oerth's equator).[citation needed]
Ivid I soon gained a reputation as a tyrant. He deposed the herzog of South Province and replaced it with a prince of his own House Naelax, who in turn sparked outrage when he imprisoned and tortured ambassadors from Irongate. Irongate, Idee and Onnwal rebelled and founded the Iron League in 447 CY, joined in 448 CY by the Lordship of the Isles and in 445 CY by the County of Sunndi, and allied with Nyrond.[5]
Ivid I ruled for 48 years before being assassinated by his son, Ivid II, in 494 CY. Ivid II quickly fell into dementia and was in turn assassinated by his own son, Ivid III, in 497 CY. Ivid III murdered all possible Naelax rival claimants to the throne, and imprisoned his sons and daughters in a grand palace for his own safety. He ruled into old age before declaring that his last surviving offspring would claim the throne. The survivor of the resulting bloodbath was declared Ivid IV.[7]
Ivid IV's two eldest sons competed with each other for several years for the right of successsion, with the younger son eventually victorious. He killed all 123 of his brothers and sisters before bribing Ivid IV's favorite concubine to pour acid into his ear.[7][8] The son ascended to the throne in 556 CY, taking the name Ivid V.[5]
By the sixth century CY, however, the Great Kingdom had shrunk to a fraction of its size, limited to the lands east of the Harp River and Teesar Torrent, and north of the Iron Hills and Thelly River.[citation needed]
Collapse under Ivid V[edit | edit source]
The Great Kingdom survived attack by the Golden League in 579-580 CY and civil unrest following the Red Death plague of 581 CY.
In 583 CY, during the Greyhawk Wars (582-584 CY), Ivid managed to unify the Great Kingdom's provinces long enough to wage war on Nyrond, Almor, and the Iron League, in an effort to restore the Great Kingdom to its historic greatness. The war was disastrous for the Great Kingdom, and in 584 CY, North Province declared independence. The Great Kingdom shattered into smaller provinces soon thereafter.[5]
In 586 CY, reports began to spread that Ivid V had died, disappeared, or been deposed. Claimants to the throne marched on the capital of Rauxes, when the city was engulfed by a wild and unpredictable magical effect. The ultimate fate of Ivid V was unknown, but with certainty the rule of the Overkings of Rauxes had come to an end.[5]
Successor states[edit | edit source]
In 586 CY, Herzog Grenell of North Province declared his holdings the Great Kingdom of Northern Aerdy, and took the title of Overking.[5]
In 587 CY, most of the remaining former Great Kingdom united under Prince Xavener of House Darmen, who took the title of Overking of the new United Kingdom of Ahlissa.[5]
Geography[edit | edit source]

Borders[edit | edit source]
At its greatest extent, the Great Kingdom stretched from the isles of the Sea Barons in the east to the Viceroyalty of Ferrond in the west; and from Sunndi in the south to Ratik in the north.
