Galladoorn was a Daikini kingdom, second only to Tir Asleen in terms of prosperity. It was ruled by the Royal family of Galladoorn. It was known for its generous acceptance of immigrants, its diverse culture, and its chivalric order, the Knights of Galladoorn.
Geography[]
The land of Galladoorn was located in the southeast of the Western continent of Andowyne. Because of its proximity to the ocean, the region enjoyed a warm climate.[1]
History[]
At its height, the kingdom of Galladoorn was second only to that of Tir Asleen. Its monarchs were known to be most welcoming to immigrants, and since all who sought refuge in Galladoorn were encouraged to keep their customs and habits, the kingdom benefitted from a rich cultural diversity, which expressed itself through clothing styles, exotic foods and spices, rare skills, and travelers tales. Order was maintained by the famous Knights of Galladoorn, also known as the Shining Legion. At one point, the kingdom was ruled by Queen Dell, nicknamed "the Wishful Explorer," who commissioned the best cartographers to prepare maps of the world.[1]
Not all people of Galladoorn were free. Some of them were slaves and made a pact with Queen Bavmorda of Nockmaar. She helped them overthrow their masters in exchange for their loyalty. As a result these slaves joined the Army of Nockmaar.[2]
When Bavmorda attacked in full force, the knights and warriors of Galladoorn rallied to the defense of their homeland. However, the Knights suffered terrible defeats in battle at Land's End and at Castle Galladoorn. During the latter clash, the Army of Nockmaar led by General Kael, a former Galladoorn slave, slaughtered the outnumbered Knights of Galladoorn, and the few survivors were forced to abandon the castle.[1][2] That day, the kingdom of Galladoorn fell. The surviving knights, however, went on to form the bulk of the Tir Asleen rebels, who managed to defeat Bavmorda.[3]
In the aftermath, the kingdom was reborn, with King Zivian Hastur eventually rising to the throne. Two hundred moons after the fall of Bavmorda, Hastur was planning to unite his kingdom with that of Tir Asleen by arranging a marriage between his son Graydon and Kit Tanthalos, daughter of Queen Sorsha.[4]
