The Kingdom of Valahandia was a medieval Liberalian feudal realm that centralized into a formal absolute monarchy in the mid-14th century and emerged as a major power in trans-Tenebric trade throughout the Age of Exploration. At its peak, the Kingdom held nearly two dozen colonies and coastal ports, primarily along the series of straits and waterways linking the south coast of Hespia with the Promethean Sea. Despite the enormous wealth yielded by controlling these strategic ports and coastal regions, Valahandia was plagued for most of its existence by severe political instability. This was primarily brought on by inept leadership, internal power struggles, and frequent border incursions by neighboring nations. The last Monarch of Valahandia, Murcaid II, was bloodlessly removed from power during a popular uprising orchestrated by [a neighboring nation] in December 1821.
Etymology
"Valahandia," traditionally pronounced "Fall-ahn-dia," simply means "land of the enduring" in a regional dialect of Célas, which would become the kingdom's official language around 1300. Valahandians often refer to themselves as “The Enduring” in reference to the most notable trait of their mythical first king, Udaín, and his supposed perilous five-year solo journey through the frigid north Liberalian wild-lands in the late-8th century as compiled in The Saga of Udaín (circa 1195).
