Syvvarn

The kingdom of Syvvarn, during the Second Epoch, was a keshal'i stronghold. It has the highest concentration of keshal'i sites of any of the kingdoms on the continent.

After the commencement of the Third Epoch, Syvvarn became home to several small waygar'i kingdoms and holdings. They, unfortunately, united to stand against the conquest of Isha Del and were shattered by the combined forces of Isha Del's host and the fanatical soldiers of the Church of the Sun. After those kingdoms and holdings were decisively defeated in the Battle of Gerda's Ridge, the entirety of their territories was granted to one of Isha Del's fervent supporters, Tredian, in whose family the kingdom has remained ever since.

Isha Del attempted to expand his empire by sailing across the Mael Strait. He did not make it far before his forces encountered what are described in the tales of this period as 'forest demons.'  The combined forces of the entire continent of Doma could not prevail against these ferocious inhabitants of the Unknown. In the end, Isha Del was forced to retreat, but not before he created and gifted the Barony of Vis. Sometime years after Isha Del's death, the Baron of Vis swore fealty to the King of Syvvarn, bring that territory under Syvvarn's rule.

Princess Adele, daughter of King Ellis and his queen, Margery, who married Prince Edward of Karas Strem, brother to Prince Cai, hailed from here.

Syvvarn remains one of the wealthiest of the kingdoms of the continent, as it has a monopoly on the spice trade. A warm, tropical climate in the northern part of the kingdom provides the perfect conditions for some of the most sought-after spices. They also are renowned for their tapestries, made entirely of silks.
