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.

History

Early Royal Era
The Early Royal Era refers to the initial era of Fhainnin expansionism, during which the nation was a feudal elected monarchy. It also includes the rule of Dòchas Ruaridh Màrtainn, who inherited the territories initially organized into the Kingdom, but did not claim the title of Rih in his lifetime due to the political considerations of such a claim. Ruaridh was born into rulership of the Principality of Mhartainnvail, and later in life inherited several territories from his uncle Collin Màrtainn after the latter died in battle.

Ruaridh's firstborn son, Rethys Màrtainn, crowned himself Rih of the Ninerivers on the day of his inheritance, prompting a war between himself and the Principality of
