Kingdom of Ilorin

A mid-sized human kingdom on the western part of Aegeron.

History
The old Kingdom of Ilorin was often called "the forest kingdom", it was one of the few cases in the history of Aegeron where human civilization and Nature lived in harmony. Even though the realm was ruled by a king, the monarch always deferred to the wise advice of druids from the Circle of Ilorin.

It all ended in the year 34 when the Imperial Legion defeated the armies of Ilorin and crushed all resistance with the exception of the druids who retreated to the Forest of Ilorin. After many failed attempts at capturing the forest, the Imperium cast a terrible curse on the land, that the Sun shall not rise until any of the druids lived. They endured for years, and when the Sun finally rose the Forest of Ilorin was no more, just a dead, haunted land, known as the Silent Grove. A reminder of what happens to those who resist the Imperium.

The new Kingdom of Ilorin shares little with its namesake apart from its location. It is a traditional feudal society that was founded by one of the generals of the Imperial Legion after the fall of the Imperium. His reign lasted only a few years, he was slain in battle against the demons, which lead to a series of nobles proclaiming themselves heirs to the throne. The current ruler is King Theo III whose grandfather ultimately ended up on the throne

Life
Most of the people of Ilorin live in relative peace in a traditional feudal society. The kingdom has no claim on other lands and thus had few enemies during the Succession Wars, allowing it to have amicable relations with it neighbors. But those living on its southern border have to contend with the Cleaver Orcs whose brutal raids often devastate villages.
