THE MARDONIC LAW

---

 

The Kingdom of Mardon, a grandiose swamp-land with alternate land over yonder, is ripe with the grace of mankind and treachery alike through the era of Ashford; albeit it is since heralded by His Majesty, Peter Sigismund of Horen at the behest of the late Imperial Majesty, Philip Frederick of Horen. The lands of Mardon can be located on the isle of Tahn, south to the decrepit ruins of Johannesburg. A Canonist Kingdom whose only agenda is for the sake of mankind and the demise of the scourge.
