The Kingdom of Adwhin (Hesurian: Königreich Adwhin) was a sovereign state and Mascyllary kingdom that succeeded the powerful Duchy of Adwhin with the merger of the Duchy of Phalagay in 1710 and continued to play a major role in Mascyllary politics until 1923. After the Treaty of Karlsburg that formalized the unification of both states, Albert I of Adwhin was proclaimed King in Breisgau on 1 August 1710. The territorial extent of Adwhin encompassed the Duchy of Adwhin, numerous secularised territories, the Bishopric of Großbeeren and parts of Gotia and Mernia. While the kingdom was federal in theory, Adwhin and the Sohlnar monarchy dominated its policies and ruled throughout its existance.

With a gradual interest in expansionism and imperialism, combined with the ambitions to unify Mascylla under Adwhinish rule, it sought to contain its main rival, the Kingdom of Aldia through much of the 18th century after it had ended political cooperation with the weakening Cuthish Empire. Escalating actions by both parties ultimately culminated into the War of the Five Kings which was a decisive blow to the Adwhin monarchy, being forced to resign from its power status and surrendering its sovereignty to the Mascyllary Kingdom in 1793. It continued to exist until 1923, when its last king Theodor VII was forced to abdicate and seek exile in Valimia following pressure by the Mascyllary Revolution after the Great War. With the establishment of the short-lived Adwhinish Republic and finally State of Adwhin under the Crowned Republic of Mascylla, Adwhin was organized at last into a parliamentary democracy.

List of Dukes and Kings of Adwhin

This list details all Dukes (1493–1711) and Kings of Adwhin (1711–1923). Every monarch was a member of the House of Sohlnar, having formed from the Freying, Breisgau and Oberfriedsburg Adwhinish lines with the unification of the respective duchies into the Duchy of Adwhin proper in 1423. In 1711, the Duchy merged with the Duchy of Phalagay after the victorious War of the Phalagay Succession in opposition to Aldian interests, and Duke Albert I proclaimed the ascension to the Kingdom of Adwhin in 1711. The monarchy continued to rule until the ramifications of the 1923 Mascyllary Revolution, seeing Theodor VII forced to abdicate and seeking exile in Valimia.
