Vendilyr

Vendilyr is the second largest nation on Iradeth at roughly half the size of the Aenean Empire. Culturally, they follow the Proxima and do not allow freedom of religion, a key tenant in the negotiations from the Vendilyrian Schism. Once the largest Principality in the Illian Empire, Vendilyr's greed has watched them take an enormous step back on the world stage.

Following the coronation of Magnus Basileus Vicante Valkyrion whom had been Prince of Vendilyr, the Illian Empire was disbanded only to be ruled under Vendilyrian banners. The Proxima was outlawed, and the upper heirarchy of the faith banished or executed. This event has come to be known as the Vendilyrian Schism, and was ended with Alexander Valkyrion's return to Nova Carthago along with years of bloody conflict.

Culturally, Vendilyr operates off the feudal system and so has no standing army of note. Instead, their central government operates as a monarchy and relies on feudal lords to rally troops in defense or offense as policy dictates. Frequently, Vendilyr has been unable to field an invading force due to the unwillingness of its lords to participate. Its economy is driven through farming and trading, leading to a disinclination of its lords to wage war for fear of harming trade agreements with foreign nations that line their pockets.
