The Kingdom of Redwain was formerly of the Kynacia province, as part of the Old Imperium in the Time of the Imperium. After the Old Imperium's fall after the Divine Rebellion, in the beginning of the Time of Ages, Kynacia was settled and founded as the Kingdom of Ostmere. Following disputes between the lords of the region, Kynacia was split in half; northern Kynacia remained as Ostmere, while southern Kynacia was claimed and named as the Kingdom of Redwain, and has since always been of Redwani territory.
History
Redwain has seen its fair share of war in the past; most of which were fought over territorial disputes or for expansion. Conflicts between Redwain and Ostmere have never truly settled since the years that Kynacia was split in half, and as such both Redwain and Ostmere have been at war with each other on several occasions. Most of these wars were fought for the lands that set the border between these two nations.
One of the most famous wars fought by Redwain was the Redblade War, where an alliance of Ostmerian and Redwani mercenaries rallied together to end the orcish threat in their lands. Following the successful battles that pushed the orcs out of both Ostmere and Redwain, the Redblade Alliance marched into Ghorr to eradicate the orcs in their homeland. The war ended in the Redblade Alliance's inevitable defeat, and survivors returned to Redwain and established the Redblade Company.
The conflicts between the orcs and Redwain have since disipated because of the Thrum Treaty, which officially made peace between the human kingdoms and the orcish kingdom of Thrumnash. Additionally, orcish settlers have migrated in large numbers to Redwain for its fertile soil and for its mines near the northern borders.
Because of their rich past as a warfaring nation, Redwain is famed for its skilled and esteemed knights. Noble men such as Artan of the Red Hills and Lucian the Calm are but two in an impressive line of famous knights that nearly all in Tariel have heard of. Redwain is also famous for its fertile lands, and is one of few nations in Avanor that holds such bounty in agriculture. Their wineyards are also some of the best in the entire world, and with top quality grapes Redwain produces some of the best wine there is. Redwain fares well in terms of its population's welfare and wealth.
While Redwain does well on the mainland, it suffers regularly on the nearby seas. Trade by ships is of high risk because of the constant activity of pirates and the like. Redwani ships are often attacked and plundered by pirates; leaving little chance for a Redwani merchant to earn a living through ships. As such, Redwain depends a lot on inland trade-routes to export their goods and import what they need.
Government
Redwain is mainly ruled by an King, The King's Hand and its vassal lords, but all major decisions are put to a vote by the Redwani Royal Council; which holds three major parties. There are the Corvinians, who are the mage members of the Redwani Royal Council. There are the Danthians, who mainly support matters of conquest and warfare. And then there are the Corinthians, who are the high-standing members of the Council. While the King has the power to take absolute control of Redwain, it is an unwise decision which would brand him an ill tyrant. Politics in general are delicate within the Redwain's higher, ruling classes.
Education
The nation is also home to great places of learning, particularly in its capital, where some of Tariel's most renowned universities find place. While in the past these universities were dominantly focused on the studies of magic, these days they are more inclined towards the general learning and gathering of knowledge. Foreigners, particularly of noble birth, often travel to Redwain to educate themselves and peruse the great libraries, where knowledge of a thousand years of history is safely kept and maintained by esteemed scholars and historians.
