The Jatu are the Mongols, and Noldor are the Craftworld Eldar with very little remaining magic. The D'Shar came to Pendor as mercenaries and pastoral nomads, and carved out a slice of it for themselves in the existing power vacuum, transitioning from the nomad lifestyle to an agrarian one. The D'Shar remind one of the Seljuks and/or the Abbasids. Sarleon at one point temporarily united Pendor to fight off the Empire and Barclay, but that dream fell apart as soon as the main threat ended because nobody liked Sarleon. The Fierdsvain are like domesticated Vikings who were mostly brought over to protect trade routes or something against the Vanskerries, so those two don't like each other. Ravenstern has a beef with the Mystmountains because the barbarians tried to conquer one of their cities and almost succeeded, and it's a very big deal to the Ravenstern nobility. the old Empire), and the Melitine Empire, which is a direct analogue to Byzantium. So now there are 3 empires: the Empire in Pendor, the Snake Cult empire (i.e. The general in Pendor is left out to dry and tries to consolidate his power in a new land. Then a sneaky Imperial general decides he's going to just grab it for himself anyway, and he's somewhat successful.īut in the meantime the Empire back home enters a civil war as the Snake Cult rises to power and displaces the old Imperial order.
The Empire and Barclay fought a war for superiority over Pendor, but it was inconclusive, and a white peace was signed. Elven civilization collapsed at some point in the even more distant past, and Pendor turned into the mess of petty kingdoms you have now. It was united under one king and everything was great until the red plague hit, and everything went to shit. My rough understanding is that Pendor was one of three great powers in the world alongside Barclay and the original Empire.
