Boreadon

Boreadon is a geographical region in northern Perama Eria. Its climate ranges from cold temperate in the south to subarctic tundra in the north.

Bordering Boreadon on the east, across the Tennemars, lay the frozen steppes of Gammenon. To the west is Revanland, an equally boreal region. Over the Orwain Sea is Atagonia to the south, and the Gods of the North form Boreadon's natural northern border.

The First and Second Ages
No written history exists of its inhabitants before the late Second Age. Megaliths, dolmens and other archaeological evidence suggest various cultures existed in the region as early as the 5000 LC. There are a few ancient records of Amunateans coming in contact with Boreadonic natives during the First Age, but little is known about these people, other than connotations that they were nomadic hunters and "savages." By the end of the Second Age, Seonians traded with the native peoples of Boreadon, importing furs and gold jewelry from the region into Seonamun.

The Third Age
In the early Third Age, the Arda Bore-Adas, a Seonian tribe, migrated into southern Boreadon. Their first settlement, founded during the eleventh century LE, was made up of Seonians and the native people, whom they called Orweyir, after the nearby Orwain Sea. They named this first town Orwey, and it would go on to be an independent city-state until conquered by Deoras Mars in 1562.

Outside of this region, the Orweyir were sedentary at this time, and the cities of Gosten, Daleshom, and Dimhau existed as small concentrations of Orweyir by 1100 LE. Seonians also came to reside within these other regions.

During the 1500's, the region experienced a series of wars which resulted in the founding of the Kingdom of Boreala by Deoras Mars in 1563 LE. The Empire of Boreala encompassed the whole of Boreadon by 1568.

The Fourth Age and After
The Empire of Boreala fell to the Gods during the war between Archaeids and Humans in 2026 LE. After the war, with the government dissolved and rule decentralized, the surviving provinces became independent states. By the end of the Fourth Age, they had coalesced into the Kingdom of Gosten in the north, and the Kingdom of Orwey in the south.

Sometime during the Fifth Age, Orwey annexed Gosten to finally become the country known as Boreadon, which would remain a significant world power well into the Sixth Age.
