Kingdom of Veranoir

The Kingdom of Veranoir (Old Verancois: Reaume de Veranor, Middle Verancois: Royaulme de Veranoir, Verancois: Royaume de Veranoir) is a semi-feudal kingdom in Western Eros. It is among the most powerful states in Eros and a great power since the Old Age.

Veranoir originated as Verans, the western half of the Alanor Empire until the empire eventually collapsed. The first king calling himself Roi de Verans ("King of Veranoir") was Philip Deveroux II, in 998. Veranoir continued to be ruled by the Deveroux and their cadet lines, the Verninac and D'Amboise.

Veranor is a de-centralised, feudal monarchy. Initially, Veranoir kings were elected by the secular and ecclesiastic magnates, but the regular coronation of the eldest son of the reigning King during his father's lifetime established the principle of male primogeniture, which became codified in the Fouché law. During the Late Old Age, King Silvain D'Amboise laid claim to the Ælgish throne and conquered them in a series of conflicts and eventually becoming rulers of the Empire of Veranoir-Ælgis, which conquered several realms across Western Eros such as the Kingdom of Valion, until 1538 when both the Ælgish and Valionese declared independence.
