The Thelarike Kingdom was an ancient kingdom located in the geographical Buranian region of northern Europa on Eurth.
Etymology
The name "Thelarike" comes from Thelar + rik (suffix: "king", "ruler"). It is related to the Buran tribe of Thelar. This tribe inhabited northwest corner of Burania, including the Parnu peninsula. Out of this region formed the kingdom of Thelarike ("realm of Thelar").
