The Sarriahn Dynasty

The Sarriahn Dynasty is one of The Tripartite Kingdoms and the country of origin for the adventurers in A World Unfolds.

History
The Sarriahn Dynasty was formed in Year 554 through the union of two landholding families, the Gorals of Eastveil and the Lymns of Lymnwood, into a joint "Kingspair" over a new kingdom known as The Sarriahn Dynasty.

These two families have continued their rules of the Sarriahn Dynasty for more than 400 years. Over that span, the dynasty has expanded from it's origins in the elven kingdom of Lymnwood, the diverse city of Dragonspear, and the wealthy plains of Eastveil. This has brought the dynasty into repeated conflict with the Principality of Gildebrag and the Empire of Keelor, as well as smaller conflicts with other entities. Most notable among these conflicts are The Short War, The Long Simmer, The Cragmoore Conflict, The Great Succession of Keelor, and the most recently concluded The Pig War.

For the last 300+ years, The Sarriahn Dynasty has been at peace with The Orlas Empire. This is formalized through The Tribute of Cordin Goral, wherein the kingdom agreed to pay tribute to the Orlas Empire every year, indefinitely, in exchange for peace.

Etymology
The Sarriahn Dynasty derives it's name from the river that runs through the heart of the kingdom and which separated the original lands which were joined by the dynasty, The Sarriah River. The river is often now referred to by other names, but the name of the dynasty has stuck.
