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

Main Article: History of Faneria The history of the Kingdom of the Fhainn can largely be broken into the Early and Late Royal Eras. During the Early Royal Era, the Kingdom functioned as an elective monarchy, albeit with a dynastic succession enforced through blood ties, oaths of fealty, and strongarming. During the Princes' Wars, which were largely fought over succession as well as Protestant rights, this system was tested and broken; after the culmination of these, Faneria's monarchy became a hereditary position passed down by the appointment of a child or other familial heir. The Late Royal Era also includes the Constitutional reforms of 1830 which transformed Faneria into a nominally constitutional monarchy, as while significant social and political changes were permitted afterwards, the Royal Family spent the remainder of its rule attempting to claw back powers granted to the Senate and local governors and judges.

Establishment

Fhainnin politics of the Christian era were largely centered on the power struggles between Princes (Dochann), who were independent feudal overlords of various territories across the Ninerivers and eastern Vandarch regions. Many of these called themselves King (Rih) of their local region, but none claimed to be King of the Ninerivers, as that bore an implicit declaration of supremacy over the rest of the Princes.

The unofficial 'first Rih' of Faneria was Ruaridh Màrtainn, Prince of Cheatharnaich, a powerful principality centered on Cancale resting along the northern bank of Caileansriver buttressed to the north by the Deamhainn Mountains. Ruaridh had the good fortune, or perhaps planned, to inherit the city of Connsmonandún and the Principality of Mhartainnvail (then only Caileansdún and its surrounding regions, not the entirety of the modern province) from his brother and uncle, who were killed by a rival prince during a war over several vassal states. Ruaridh took the opportunity to expand his holdings, waging several wars of conquest against his own vassals to absorb their titles for himself.

Ruaridh's firstborn son, Rethys Màrtainn, crowned himself Rih de na Fhainn three years to the day after his inheritance, prompting a war between himself and the Principalities of Cionhaen, Dinan, and Brynmawr which became known as the Crown Wars. Rethys proved an able commander, in part due to a large contingent of veteran *ardceiternn* cavalry, and seize additional territories, vassalizing Dinan and Brynmawr and forcing Cionhaen to acknowledge his self-proclaimed title of "King of the Fhainn" in 1398.

-The '''Southern Route''', also commonly known as the '''South [[Alshar]]-[[Sarpedon]]''' sea route is a shipping route from the [[Corumm]]ese southeastern coast, through the [[Ocean of Cathay]] and on to the [[Kindreds Sea]] and Pelaxian and Acirian ports. The first recorded complete voyage of the route was made in 1615 by Gabo de Pogiano, an explorer and adventurer from the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth]] who started his trip on the port of [[Albalitor]] on the [[Kindreds Sea]] and came into contact with the Corummese Qian dynasty in [[Port Bondor]], [[Zhijun]]. Impetus for developing alternate trade routes gained traction and support at the Qian court mainly as a way to evade the Burgoignesc monopoly on all Audonian sea routes. The route would become more profitable to traverse in the early 17th century after the Qian colonization of [[Stenza]] by the [[South Seas Development Company|South Seas Trading Company]]. In the modern era the route continues to be an important lane for international marine shipping and several national navies operate throughout its whole length to provide security.

-Historically, sea exploration by Corummese dynasties was severely lacking in comparison to Levantine powers such as [[Burgundie]]. Most of Corummese trading with its neighbours was conducted through overland routes, rivers or by sea shipping that stuck close to the coastline. [[Burgundie]]'s possession of islands controlling access to important waterways in Audonia such as [[Salarive]] and [[Antilles]] and its sometimes predatory attitudes, the dangers posed by Audonian pirates and high tariffs made trade through Burgoignesc controlled waters a fairly unappealing prospect. The discovery of [[Zhijun]] and later [[Stenza]] by an expedition commissioned by Emperor Yuanjian of the Qian dynasty opened the possibility of further lands yet to be discovered. Admiral Xi Haifong proceeded to conquer the Stenzan polynesian tribes and established the port of Xiwang there in 1613. The arrival in 1615 of [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth|Carto-Pelaxian]] explorer Gabo de Pogiano at [[Zhijun]]'s Port Bondor confirmed to the Qian the existence of lands further east to trade with. Gabo de Pogiano established a rapport with the governor of Zhijun and was allowed to sail to [[Corumm]] alongside the [[Grog Fleet]] for an audience with imperial authorities.

Many of these called themselves King (Rih) of their local region, but none claimed to be King of the Ninerivers, as that bore an implicit declaration of supremacy over the rest of the Princes.
-A merchant of Albalitor describes the overland spice route as follows: Only the markets of [[Venceia]] then scattered these spices all over [[Sarpedon]], great in cost, and without guaranteed arrival. In 1300s, with the establishment of the Third Empire, the trade from Vencia reduced to a great degree due to the an increase of Coscivian piracy around Sarpedon. The advantage of the Pelaxians to establish a sea route therefore virtually free of assault – however, covered in perils in the sea – showed itself rewarding and outlined a large income to the Crown in the future. Pelaxia directly linked the spice producing regions to their markets in Sarpedon.
+The unofficial 'first Rih' of Faneria was [[Ruaridh Màrtainn]], Prince of Cheatharnaich, a powerful principality centered on [[Cancale]] resting along the northern bank of [[Caileansriver]] buttressed to the north by the Deamhainn Mountains.

Ruaridh took the opportunity to expand his holdings, waging several wars of conquest against his own vassals to absorb their titles for himself.
-In March 1603, Pogiano was at the head of an expedition that weighed anchor from Albalitor. Under his control were three ships: the galleon Jesús María, of 600 tons and 30 cannons, Nuestra Señora de la Visitación and Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes. The expedition was entrusted by the King Jerónimo l, to suppress the incursions of Coscivian privateers in the seas to the south of Loa Republic.
+Ruaridh's firstborn son, [[Rethys Màrtainn]], crowned himself ''Rih de na Fhainn'' three years to the day after his inheritance, prompting a war between himself and the Principalities of Cionhaen, Dinan, and Brynmawr which became known as the [[Fhainnin Crown Wars|Crown Wars]].

-Historians conjecture that they penetrated to a latitude of (64° S) in the Okatian Sea, and made port in the Freda Island. If correct, this would be the farthest south that anyone had travelled, at that time. Subsequently, several merchant vessels reported being blown south of 60° S in severe weather.
+== Government ==
-Around the year 1611, Pogiano attempted to undertake an exploration of the beyond Australis, and gathered information about an almost legendary Qian's Corumm, whose kingdom was located far to the west in Alshar, and sailed to it reaching it in 1615.
+==== Vicarial System ====
-===Establishment===
-Gabo de Pogiano's 1615 journey became an embassy after contact with the Corummese. After arriving in the port of [[Zong]] on the 10th of October, he had an audience with Digen Youdu, Viceroy of Ganshu; with whom he negotiated an agreement that allowed him to dock in Corummese ports and engage in trade, map out the surrounding seas and build a fort in the [[Tanhai]] coastal commandery. Pogiano in turn committed himself to on his return trip, guide a Qian squadron to the [[Kindreds Sea]] and the coast of [[Sarpedon]]. The ships that would join him on [[Zhijun]] were the ''Falun'', the ''Gong'' and the ''Shen Yun''; the first Corummese ships to ever make it to [[Sarpedon]]. Later contacts with Acirien representatives would lead to a similar agreement. The Qian would send goods such as sugarcane, barrels of [[slozo]], pink salt, ebony wood and cinnamon and in return would receive (insert Sarpedonian products such as wine)
-The outsourcing of colonial administration of the [[Stenza]] territory to the [[South Seas Development Company|South Seas Trading Company]] and the expansion of its commercial activities by establishing bases in Port Bondor, Rakin (later Rakahanga) and Ambo led to the establishment of a quasi commercial monopoly on the western end of the Southern Route. As the company's wealth increased, it would outfit a fleet of warships of its own, nominally under Imperial control but in practice operating to protect company commercial interests. The [[Harmonious Flotilla Invincible]] began operating in 1758, when it fended off Bergendii corsairs off the coast of [[Freda Island]].
+==== Absolute Monarchy ====
-===Economic and social impact===
-*[[Corumm]]:The impact of the establishment of the southern route was enormous in both economic and cultural terms for the Corummese. The flow of trade goods greatly enrichened the Qian state, with the treasury benefiting from extra taxes and tariffs, including a tax on all precious metals, fees for providing naval protection to merchant ships, docking, warehouse uses and clerical services. In addition there were cultural and technological exchanges, with several sarpedonian scholars taking up employment with the Corummese. One such case was mathematician and astronomer Justo Barbajan, who worked at the Qian court as Director of the Imperial Observatory. The first Christian preachers arrived by boat in 1623, with one of them eventually founding what would become the [[Democratic Christian Church of Corumm and the East]].
-*[[Pelaxia]]: On May 17, 1615, the fleet reached Corumm, thus having established the route via the Cathay Ocean and managing to open the sea route [[Sarpedon]] to [[Alshar]]. Negotiations with the local Qian State were difficult. Pogiano's efforts to obtain favorable commercial terms have been hampered by the different cultures and the low value of their gifts – in the East it was customary for kings to offer presents to the foreign envoys; in the West the kings were expected to be impressed with rich offerings. Goods presented by the Pelaxian proved insufficient to impress the Corummese and representatives mocked their offers. Pogiano's perseverance made him nevertheless initiate negotiations between him and the Qian's, who were pleased with the letters of King Eladio I. Finally, Pogiano managed to get an ambiguous letter of concession rights to trade and an enclave on the coast managed by a Pelaxian governor.
