Editing Ailendamus (section)

==History==
Two hundred years ago, Ailendamus was one of the minor kingdoms that emerged after the collapse of the Kingdom of Thire. It was able to conquer the surrounding kingdoms and quickly emerge as a major world power, in what was likely its first War of Reclamation of ancient lands. It is theorized by [[Ryoka Griffin|Ryoka]] that Ailendamus' quick rise to power can be attributed to [[Rhisveri Zessoprical|Rhisveri]]'s assistance, who was able to provide military, magical, and metallurgic knowledge.<ref name=":8.41" /> 

Rhisveri introduced proper refining techniques for glass, and the first cities personally overseen by him featured glass windows even in commonfolk homes. A decade later, it was exporting glass around the world. This was the origin of the kingdom's glass motif. After two hundred years, its technique spread to be commonplace in other nations.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/07/12/9-06/ Chapter 9.06]</ref>

70 years ago, it was still a tiny kingdom under a different name, and experienced a meteoric rise in power and territory since then.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/04/04/interlude-paradigm-shift-pt-2/ Interlude - Paradigm Shift (Pt. 2)]</ref> 

28 years before the events of book 6, the war of Petril’s Folly had set Ailendamus and six other nations against the three kingdoms mentioned above. The war apparently ended without either side claiming a complete victory over the others.<ref name="6.44E">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/09/14/6-44-e/ Chapter 6.44 E]</ref>

In another recent war, Ailendamus won against [[Pheislant]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/11/09/interlude-the-titans-question/ Interlude - The Titan's Question]</ref>

Their warmongering and constant desire to conquer more lands has brought forth anti-Ailendamus sentiments even among apolitical organisations like the [[Order of Seasons]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/11/30/interlude-talia/ Interlude - Talia]</ref> Despite its negative reputation among its neighbours, Ailendamus treats its own people well, with systems in place that allow for equality.
