Vilan

Capital City

The capital of Viltmank is famously fashionable and lush. This kingdom began as a province of Orchalannon, and eventually prospered sufficiently in its own right to peaceably buy its own sovereignty.

The Pendragon dynasty obtained a great portion of its current wealth from the emancipation of the Kingdom of Viltmank, who is still servicing the debt. This has led to a certain amount of tension over the years. The Casimir line has since established a lineage of some nobility.

These folk adhere to the Cult of Karna perhaps even more devoutly than people of Orchalannon (the local faith is not syncretic, and Speed is not  included in their worship). The local solar cult remains subordinate to the State of Cerentuin, which is controlled by Orchalannon - another matter of contention between the two kingdoms.

Singularly, their cavalry are the mighty azdarchs. This is perfect for knights of Vilan, as their reputation abroad paradoxically combines spineless high-handedness with recklessness bordering on suicidal. The sight of a flying regiment plucking apart an enemy formation on the wing is a splendid sight, though often it is accompanied by a certain number of accidental fatalities, which makes the endeavor either more impressive or quite farcical - depending on your frame of mind.

"If you have a healthy heart, eat Vilanese cuisine. If you have an unhealthy heart, drink Vilanese wine. Proceed thusly."

- Count Victor Montaigne's Travelogue
