Sodir

Sodir is a province of Sovereignty on the continent of Crygnos. Sodir borders Dymia and Rymir to the south, Valusia to the east, and the Mile Country to the north.

The Sodians are led by Lord-Governor Iodrin Canoth, who is seated in Rockrise.

History
Sodir is the oldest kingdom on Crygnos. It existed before the migrations and has maintained it's Druidic roots. The Dust dynasty ruled Sodir until they were betrayed by the Canoths. The Canoths feared King Roric Dust's ill-rule would lead to war with Rymir. Varris Canoth murdered the last Dust King and, as regent, Varris surrendered the Sodian Crown and swore fealty to Valusia. Canoth and his descendants would be given hegemony over Sodir and were awarded Rockrise as their home. These events would lead to what culminated as the First and Second Rush Rebellions. The First Rush Rebellion was led by the Wilde and Clant dynasties, who had been loyal vassals to the Dust Kings for generations and were not quick to accept Varris Canoth's betrayal. The Wildes and Clants refused to pay taxes, openly mocked their new hegemon and suzerein, and clashed with Valusian settlers. Varris Canoth sought assistance from the Valusian crown, and after bringing Valusian armies to the doorstep of the Wildes and Clants, brought them to heel. The Second Rush Rebellion was orchestrated by 'Red' Ronn Thoron, who raised his levies in rebellion. Varris Canoth, again, received aid from the Valusians, and the two armies clashed at the Battle of Edinstead. 'Red' Ronn Thoron was defeated, and his armies routed. Edriel Fare, one of Varris' commanders, was awarded 'Red' Ronn Thorons lands and titles.

During Lysofonian rule, Sodir was heavily settled by their new conquerors. The towns of Vinidil and Cinidil were established on the Isle of Wine and the Rush bay respectively. Both settlements prospered and became economic hubs on the western seaboard. After the Lysofonians were driven out of Valusia, many in Sodir chose to remain as the Sodians did not persecute them to the same extent as the Valusians.

Geography
The geography of Sodir features grasslands known as the Great Plains, which is separated from the Forest of Steyr by The Rush; a grand river that runs west to east, almost completely dividing Sodir. South of the Forest of Steyr run the Reynir Mountains which create a natural border between Sodir and Rymir. The Isle of Wine is largely flat and turned into an agricultural hub for grapevines that have been originally introduced from the riverbanks of The Rush.
