Kingdom of the Fhainn

The Kingdom of the Fhainn was a country located in northern Levantia on the northern coast of the Vandarch Sea. It was at various points an elective, absolute, and constitutional monarchy, and was a powerful challenger to the Holy Levantine Empire's expansion into Ultmar as well as an expansionist state in its own right. After a series of financial, military, political, and cultural disasters in the late 1800s, it was destroyed in a civil war in 1909.
