History
Etilac was once one of the biggest nations on the continent, spanning the entire northern coast of the Anvil Peninsula. However, in 2394 AH, Duke Geradihn I Stonehammer of Varghan had enough of his liege, King Thorigg III Darkforge, and declared Varghan an independent kingdom. Varghan was located on a peninsula called Mor Gathol, only connected to the rest of the Anvil Peninsula by a small strip of land south of the Kirulur Sound. Shortly after the declaration of independence, resulting in the Varghanian War of Independence. To further assert their claim, the Varghanian wizard Horrack Bronzeguard split the land connecting Mor Gathol to the rest of the Anvil Peninsula by use of powerful magic. This created the Kirulur Channel, which made Varghan an island, and thus exceedingly hard to conquer for the Etilan forces. In 2397 AH, after a couple of years of fighting back and forth, King Thorigg III granted the Varghanian their independence.

Inspired by this, Duke Trystan II Redhelm of Borim was about to declare their own war of independence in 2402 AH. The Etilan economy was still heavily affected by the previous war, and King Thorigg III thus granted Borim independence before it came to war. The only condition was that Borim would remain a duchy, much like in the independence of Lurton in 1784 AH. Finally, Minturm gained independence from Etilac in 2469 AH, supported by Culdarohm.
