Heideland

Heideland is nation in central Teudallum. The nation is situated between the Sea of Velar and Andamonia to the west, Dungeyland to the north, Kamalbia and Caranad to the east, and Cassonne to the south.

History

The area of modern Heideland has been inhabited by tribal people for centuries. Throughout the Middle ages and early modern period, western Heideland became and important commercial center with the rise of the Oostwarden League, which capitalized on the trade routes of the Sea of Velar.

Rise of Zwiebelland

The earliest dukes of Zwiebelland were first recorded during the 8th century. The first Duke, Otto I, was simply a large landowner who provided military protection to surrounding farmers in return for a portion of their crop. During this period, raiders and marauders, many of whom spilled into the area from Kamalbia and Caranad, made farming especially dangerous. As such, strong local rulers became incredibly important to preserving the Heidish way of life. Similar arrangements were found throughout Central and Eastern Heideland, with the dukes of Schweinestadt, Weizenreich, and Gurkenland coming to power via similar arrangements.

Schweinestadt, Weizenreich and Gurkenland can all become part of Zwiebelland in 1786, unifying much of central and eastern Heideland.

Heidish-Andamonian War

Between 1828 and 1830, Zwiebelland unifies the remaining Heidish states during the Heidish-Andamonian War, which is a success and grants the new Heidish state some formerly Andamonian territories, leading to the abdication of the Andamonian empress, Lahamisa II.
