VASSAL PATENT, ILDON

Issued the 17th, in the Year 260 of the Second Age

In the name of His Royal Majesty Tar-Zôrzagar Argelion

 

---

Ildon is a haven of sanctuary, where vagabonds and kind-hearted misfits take root. Under the watchful gaze of Rourke, all are promised the freedom to innovate, the support to bring their inventions to life, and the guidance to pursue knowledge through craft and scholarship. Home of the Elendâri, the Ildonians favor adventure over leisure, striving to innovate, found, and explore every reach of the realm. Their position of water authority has allowed for a legion of marine levymen to take root and protect the straits of Idunia at large, committing themselves to the peace of the realm. The Marsyrs have seen to the maintenance and occupation of the Towers Tirgoneth, deeming them; “Watchers of the Fork” as they teach the farmers and laymen of Ildon to venture on high seas and exact their command over maritime regime.

 

The reaches of Rourke had once been snuffed until laid out in green fields was the taste of tomorrow, a Green Haven promises an esteemed lack of judgement surrounding origin. Seeing Adunians for what they originally were, as vagabonds and nomads, the lordship features mostly woodsmen and travellers as they take refuge in the nestled outskirts of aspen autumn.
