Kingdom of Torydain

Torydain is a remote Island in Western Terronem. It lies in the  Emerald Sea, south of Braynue. It is ruled by House Sharpe.

History
The original inhabitants of Torydain were the bloodfolk. Little is known about their lives before Mykael and his followers arrived.

Around 937, during Mykael’s reign as King of the Dominlands, Torydain was explored by many of Mykael’s “mapping parties”. This is regarded as the first official meeting between the people of Torydain and the people of Quentas.

Torydain participated in the War of the Red Waters from 2254 to 2264. Despite being heavily outnumbered and surrounded, the islanders successfully defended their homeland for ten years straight, not letting the enemy step foot on the island even once.

Geography
The lands of Torydain are significantly fertile, with considerable farmable land. The island is covered in vast forests and fields of grass, with multiple streams flowing throughout. The one and only river is the Sapphire River, originating from the Boiling Sea and ultimately flowing inland, forming Lake Vrynce. Most of the island is covered in hills and mountains; the tallest  being Mt. Greenpike

Culture
Torymen

Military
The people of Torydain are capable fighters, despite preferring to avoid battles.

The forces of Torydain are very similar to the forces of Badger Island in function and tactics. A large, well armed, well trained group known as the Island Guard, charged with the islands coastal defenses, make up the bulk of the islands armed forces.However, unlike the shoreswords of Badger Island, this is a standing force, rather than a group that is called to action when needed. They wield swords, spears, axes and maces, but like the shoreswords specialize in using bows and heavy weapons, such as catapults, ballista's and trebuchets to fight of enemy vessels.

The most well known of this forces battles took place during King Renyel’s war on Terronem. Throughout the entirety of the war, the guard successfully defended their homeland from over thirty invasion attempts from Renyel’s forces.

The island also possesses a reserve force of soldiers.

The Torydain Fleet is a two hundred strong fleet of ships. They are owned by the Torydain Throne and are used at his/her disposal.

Armour is typically top quality plate armour atop padded clothing and chainmail.
