Rintyar is a Constitutional Monarchy located in Mystria. Established in the aftermath of the War of the Dozen Queens, the Rintyari Empire has ruled the land of Rintyar and several minor colonial holds for around 600 years. In spite of the efforts of the reigning Nictores household's efforts to limit their own power, particularly that of Empress Kaimara, they ultimately still hold considerable sway over the nation's many policies.
History
Myth and Remains
Rintyar, a name derived from one of the oldest known worshipped goddesses of the Raizari people of Rintyar, seemingly has had raizari, and elven ancestors living on the island and surrounding smaller landscapes since two hundred million years ago. Numerous tools, skeletons, and graves have been uncovered. Sometime around 8,000 BCE, elven hunter-gatherer groups appeared to settle down, establishing several ancient cities of which only the scantest of clues remain. These cities would encompass many chunks of the island, ruled over largely by elves. By some point around 6,000 BCE, these cities, largely made of stone, would seemingly be abandoned, few used by the larger Raizari that remained. Over time, they would seemingly forget all but the most antiquated myths about these wild, thin men and women, their power over the earliest and wildest of magics seemingly expansive.
The first major empire to have had records and history preserved to some extent was the Ketresi Queendom, established sometime in 2000 BCE and their earliest ruler an alleged descendant of the goddess Onashey. Much of the early myths of their family were told orally, and preserved later in the epic poem Dilyssa, one of the most culturally important early works for the Raizari. According to these texts, the Warrior-Queen Dilyssa united multiple villages and in the northern coasts and jungles together against the encroaching raiders from Ranstreimos and the far off lands of Catedon.
