The Realms of Lordain

The five Realms of Lordain (Lordain, from the Älorin Lorn and Däin, meaning "wise domain" or "domain of true knowledge") is an alliance of the five sovereign nations of Välion, Sepheron, Adurge, Encellon and Laralein that are united by common cultures, history, beliefs, laws and traditions. Each nation is ruled by a married ruling couple who, in theory, both share equal political power and together employ a court of lords to administer the realm according to the will of the ruling couple. The exact system of politics varies with each realm but are all diarchies. All five realms are Adelaran in faith and their religious practices are monitored by the Holy Sanctum of Odrevost.

The Silver City of Odrevost is widely believed to be the centre of Lordain and is where the Supreme Five converge to discuss matters of the Realms and Avon.

Founding
Lordain and its realms are the successor of the five Dragon Realms of the Dragon Era. "We, the five peoples of Lordain,""Stand together as free souls,""United in light as kin of love and honour,""Offering peace and truth and fair justice for all,""For ever loyal to the conscience and eternally devouted to the greatest good."During their conclave the leaders of the five tribes assumed family-, or coronal names, that were each taken from the mantras embedded and enshrined amongst the vestiges of Umliath. In the years that followed, King Asuran and Queen Nassaiu renamed the city Odrevost, meaning "returning greatness" in Älorin.__STATICREDIRECT__ __NEWSECTIONLINK__
