The Three Kingdoms of Nidaros, Riskai and Celebarad (also known in short as the Three Kingdoms) is a federation of three countries that together occupy the Northern part of Feanoria the coast of East Keltia in the Great Western Sea. The three constituent kingdoms of Nidaros, Riskai and Celebarad, unified under the Three Crowns retain a large degree of autonomy. The Three Kingdoms are governed by the three Kings of the constituent realms: Audon II of Nidaros, Mondo of Riskai and Eathel of Celebarad.
Etymology
The name of the Union comes from the unification of the three constituent kingdoms of Nidaros, Riskai and Celebarad. The name Nidaros derives from the Norse of "river mouth". The origin of the name Riskai remains unknown, but the name has been used since ancient times. The name Celebarad derives from the Menelmacari for Fortified Place of Silver, and is likely a reference to both the silver mines that lay in the North East of the Kingdom, and to the White Fortress of Celebarad. The name initially refered to the city of Celebarad, but gradually expanded to the wider Kingdom, in which case the name has taken to mean Land of Silver.
Constituent Kingdoms
Nidaros
For the main article: Nidaros
Nidaros is a kingdom on the north island of the Red Antilles (Feanoria). Before its dissolution by the hand of the Storish king, it was a client kingdom of Stormark, though largely self-governing and autonomous, with a culture, religion and legal considerably different from Stormark's main one. In 1723, the kingdom was re-established with help from Calbion, Celebarad, Riskai, and Varmland. Its claimed borders are the same as the "old" Nidaros, with the exception for the territories under Celebarad.
Riskai
For the main article: Riskai
Riskai is a theocratic monarchy in eastern Keltia. Ruled by the House of Rossheim, for much of its history it has been a dependency of more powerful empires, notably Stormark and Minarboria. It has suzerainty over Varmland.
Celebarad
For the main article: Kingdom of Celebarad
The Kingdom of Celebarad is a constituent country of Calbion located on North Island in the Great Western Sea. The Kingdom was founded by the Inhabitants of the great city of Celebarad, after which the Kingdom was to be named. Celebarad is a client kingdom of Calbion. The Celebradi had been in relative isolation after the collapse of the Menelmacari homeland, and the subsequent subjugation of their land and city by the Vanics. When the Calbain arrived on the shores of North Island in 1692, they allied with the Celebaradi, who had significant knowledge of the mountains and forests of their island, in order to establish their trading ports. The Kingdom of Celebarad borders the Kingdoms of Nidaros and Riskai to the West.
Government
The Three Kingdoms are governed by a council of the three kings. This council is presided over by the First King, a primus inter pares, who serves as the Head of State and chairs the council. Every three AN years, the position of First King rotates. Mondo of Riskai serves as current First King after the foundation of the country in 1723.
