The Kingdom of Rhedonia (Ríocht Rheidones ) is a constitutional monarchy kingdom located in the Northern Cerulea. The Home of Werin and one of the successor states of former Cerulean Empire and its founder.

Couuntry famous for its prestigious old imperial Collages of Magic and institution of human-elven arts. An holder of the second largest fleet and one of the great powers in the world of utara.

Origins
Rhedonia's history can be traced back to the beginning of the human civilization in Cerulea, being the first to settle and dominate the continent. Not much is known about that period besides from the old legends and remaining folklore there was no written language. But what is established is that during the great migration when other human tribes started settling, the first men where being driven out by the disease, conquest and assimilation. Thus pushing the first men back to Northern Cerulea.

One of those surviving tribes being the Gvinedii that took refugee in what is today known as the (insert name here) Penninsula. Which was already inhabited by the ancient elves. The local Elven king took pity on the refugees and took them in under his protection. By allowing men to build their settlements on his domain, Protecting their settlement's with his armies and finally sending his artisans and craftsmen teaching men the developed elven ways such as advanced and complex architecture, craft and teaching the elder tongue language. The Gvinedii effectively thus became part of the elven realm its tribe chiefs becoming part of the nobility.

In the two following centuries due to both people's interbreeding, the children born to the interracial parents were Half-breed children. That effectively inherited elven features such as adaptability for magic use, longer lifespan, physical features exotic eye colours, slightly pointed ears. the most notable trait being the capability to reproduce. Most Biologists theorise if this was due to the human ancestor's genetic mutations that allowed to pass the reproduction capability the half-breed children. Eventually, these half-breeds became the majority of the population due to their human-paced reproduction rate.

This human-elven realm became known as Rhedonea, which by the human standards were a highly advanced civilization. In Eight Century AD, a highly ambitious King Arvirargus inherited the throne and led a historic conquest known as the Great Conquest. Which was a 50-year conquest was the Rhedonite army, using its famed Arcane Knights invaded and conquered the neighbouring human and blue elf realms in western Cerulea. Effectively founding an empire known as the Rhedonean Empire the predecessor to the Cerulean Empire.

The imperial goverment
After Arvirargus crowned himself Emperor, he focused on establishing his foothold on newly conquered regions with social development. Established a rule of law which was the foundation of freemen social class, created a system of the town rights allowing the foundation of the cities. But only after 10 years of his rule, he became terminally ill, and he was without a legitimate heir with no means to create one. So he summoned his powerful vassals and established a decree. That the new Emperors would be elected by the Elector princes which were the local kings ruling over former human kingdoms.

12 years later, Emperor Arvirargus died, And his nephew Arzhur I was elected by the elector princes as the new Emperor ending the Rhedonean Empire and starting the 800-year lasting Cerulean empire.

The Empire of that scale was too massive to properly govern the everyday issues of each demense. one of the first steps was power and responsibility distribution among the vassals. So the empire instead of being a one powerfull entity it became a elective monarchy composed of autonomous vassals states.

The Emperor responsibilities was to enforce the docrine, maintain unity and lead the empires armies againts the foreign threats. the military of empire was decentrilised each state and province had to maintain their army at its own expense. these armies during a conflict againts a threat would be summoned by the emperor and merged into the imperial army.
