Elidor (El-eye-dor) – The most southerly of the kingdoms of Weyland. The Fey hold less sway here than anywhere else but they are still present. Wights can still be found and Drowned Ones gather in ancient pools. At its heart lies an ancient Eldren structure, a massive bridge that crosses the gorge above the river. Around it has grown a place of trade now called “Bridges Market” this sizeable town is the hub where most trade between Albion and the Western Kingdoms occurs. The treaty between Albion and The Western Kindoms ensures that this place is a haven for trade.
Although the Elidor has a deep gorge and the White River carving its way from Vale City in Albion down to the coast in South Western Elidor it is a place or mostly gentle rolling hills, meandering rivers and woodland. Farms dot the land with fields, orchards, livestock and fish pools. Along the banks of the White River which in turn sits at the bottom of a deep gorge is a vast swamp; here the roads run along causeways above the murky waters. In the swamp swarms of biting insects gather, marsh lights can be seen floating above the weed infested waters. Elidor is the warmest of the kingdoms of Albion however it still has frequent fog/mists. Road Wardens frequently patrol the highways and causeways protecting merchants and travellers.
There are no cities in Elidor; the King of Elidor frequently moves from manor to manor, his retinue travel with him, however around Hallows Night he will stay at Bridges Market where he resides for a full month. The King of Elidor, unlike most of his peers is an appointed position that is held for life. The suitable candidate travels to the heart of The Sellian Forest where he presents himself to the Seelie Queen, if found suitable and having completed the tasks set to him then he will return to become the new king. However if the candidate is found unsuitable then their life if forfeit and they will never be seen again. The last time anyone tried to circumvent the choosing of the king, Wights attacked the offending party and killed all involved with the plot.
The current King is Dorval Cuithlan, a middle aged man who was a merchant. He has a wife and 3 children all of whom are well regarded by the folk of Elidor. King Dorval is a skilled negotiator who ascended the throne some 10 years ago. He has adapted well to his position. Only once in 10 years has he needed to call the Seelie court to his aid to defend Elidor, the Wights that came killed all interlopers and added to their ranks which sent a stark reminder that Elidor is still a Fey Realm.
