Arenland, officially the Republic of Arenland is an island nation situated in the far north east of the Nortuan mainland. It is a founding member and Federal Subject of the Commonwealth of Arenor.

The first Arenlandic civilizations emerged within the fertile crescent of the Arenkau Gulf, establishing permanent settlements on the site of today's Arenkau where the calm waters allowed them to build and launch boats for fishing and raiding. These civilizations collectively became known as the Arakuntu. In 987, the Arakantu under the First Ishlantor Arren the Great united the Five Islands to repel an invasion of foreign militias. Arren's rule established many enduring precedents and oversaw the transition of the Arakuntu from hunter-gatherers into a feudal society that became the Kingdom of Arenland. The nation, under the House of Integard saw a period of decline during the first 2 centuries of the Great Arenoran Seesaw, losing two wars to the rivaling Kingdom of Oritanth. The late 1400s saw saw rampant poverty, economic decline and internal strife paralyze the nation. In order to combat the rising number of bandits, highwaymen and criminal organizations, numerous villages and townships established armed militias and communes, sparking the spread of ideals such as liberty, justice and self-determination. In time, many of the militias developed their own laws, politics and legislation often contravening royal decree. In 1486, six militias of the South Kurnow region declared their intention to cease tax payments.
