Kingdom of Iru

The Kingdom of Iru is the home state of Adrian, Earl of Mar, and one of the thirty or so kingdoms within the Realm. It is currently under the reign of King Naren, who has ruled for 18 years.

History
The Royal House of Iru is a cadet branch of the house of the Great Ruler, much like that of its neighbour the Kingdom of Kaso. Iru, however, is a considerably more ancient kingdom than Kaso; while Kaso was founded during the enfeoffments at the founding of the current Dynasty, Iru traces its ancestry to a great-granduncle of the founding Great Ruler, who civilised the barbaric peoples of the region and founded a city-state centred around Irudar.

This historical seniority, whereby the smaller state of Iru gains precedence over the much larger Kaso, has always been a sticking point between the two countries. Of the two states, however, Iru declared itself a kingdom much later than Kaso, about 130 years ago.
