Illyria

Once part of the Imperial colony of Ciritasnia, Illyria staunchly maintained its independence during the Conquest, the only nation able to not only halt the advance of the Koramian crusaders, but killed their legendary King William I. They remained in a stalemate with Koramia for decades, until finally they made some advances due to a secret alliance with the mages of Lun Dorak in the early years of the Mage War. Despite these initial successes, the Illyrian King Gunthar Caldwell was finally convinced that his alliance was a dark one and Illyria allied with Koramia as well as the elves of the Webwood Forest and the orcs of Lun Dorak in the final defeat of the Mage-King.

When the orcish horde ran out of enemies, it turned on its former allies and Illyria was squarely in their path. After the horde passed, Illyria was in no position to defend itself when the rebel Kingdom of Norlund overtook them in the closing years of the Third Age of Man. The people of Illyria spent the Dark Times under the domination of the Norlunders, only recently rising up in rebellion and re-establishing themselves as a sovereign nation.
