'''Erribathe''', the Kingdom of Myth, is one of the most ancient nations on [[Terandria]] dating back to the original founding. It is one of the [[Restful Three]].

== Overview ==
Erribathe is a wild nation home to many disparate groups, united under the [King of Men] as the United People of Erribathe.<ref name=":1">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/12/07/interlude-age-and-tales/ Interlude - Age and Tales]</ref> It is old enough to have survived times of [[Half-Elves|Half-Elven]] supremacy and was founded as a bridge between countless feuding peoples.<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/09/25/9-17-r/ Chapter 9.17 R]</ref> It is inhabited by many races of Humans and related species like half-Elves, [[half-Giants]], and [[Dwarves]].<ref name=":3">{{VERef|10.16 N}}</ref> There are three half-Elf forests within.<ref name=":1" />

The royalty of Erribathe traditionally marry half-Elves, who share half of their longevity with their spouse to extend their lives. Though the half-Elf consorts age at double the speed in turn, they still tend to outlive their husbands due to the monarch's lifestyles. The crown is passed to male heirs, and the half-Elven Queens only rule as Regents when necessary. However, they do not continue their lineage with their consorts, to ensure the dynasty remains Human. The royal bloodline has been carefully diversified among a few groups, never mixing with half-Elves, so that the lineage can continue in case of unfortunate events.<ref name=":3" /> This is kept a secret.<ref name=":2">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/10/24/9-63/ Chapter 9.63]</ref>

Erribathe has a mgaical mist covering its outer third, which lets travelers move across the kingdom at random and stymies invaders. The kingdom's magical properties attracts monsters, however.<ref name=":3" />

== Sub-cultures ==
'''Kehndroth:''' Nomadic people with fierce tempers and fine horses.

'''Osverthians:''' People with a love of metal, producing armor for Erribathe's [Knights] and competing with Deríthal-Vel for work outside the kingdom. They practice the fencing styles of their ancestors.

'''Forem:''' [Barbarian] Tribes known for wrestling black bears. They live in lowlands, and most half-Elves live in their enclaves.

'''Torek’dale:''' Hill-tribes, who refuse to live in stone buildings. They have their own language, and believe each person's voice is honest.

== Military ==
Erribathe is one of the strongest nations in Terrandria. An army of ten thousand of Erribathe's finest can take on a force ten times larger.

Part of Erribathe's strength is its veriety of people. Osverthian [Knights] are unmatched for their armor and heavy charge, while the warriors of Torek-dale have prowess in hand-to-hand combat and magic.<ref name=":3" /> Their forces include tribesmen, half-Elven archers, and Dwarven [Stalwarts].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/12/23/9-70-pt-1/ Chapter 9.70 (Pt. 1)]</ref>

The Skyguard of Erribath are peerless half-Elf archers.<ref name=":2" />

[[Loerhin Kallinad]] implied that Erribathe may have supported human supremacy in his time, and allied with the earliest version of [[Roshal]], which had started in Terandria.<ref name=":2" />

The [[Agelum]] resided in Erribathe prior to [[Curulac]]'s rampage. Afterwards, with the knowledge that Curulac attacked because of their presence, the Agelum were made to leave.<ref name=":3" />

The nation was first mentioned during the meeting at [[Calanfer]] between many Terandrian nations.<ref name=":0" />
