Oria Agal, was a feudal kingdom that was established in year -2153 on planet Sernpidal, in the southernmost regions. The name probably means "Land of the Iron Kings", from Valin dialect: Oria- (iron, metal) + (n)Agal (king, ruler, land of king). The kingdom was founded by Usil The Binder, the first king of Oria Agal and all its subjects, when he united distant tribes and petty city states in the South under one banner, using both statecraft and war. Because of the high metal deposits, tools and other craftsmanship goods became the main export of the new kingdom; it also was a source for the massive king’s armories and capacity to wage wars against its northern neighbors across the great dessert that separated North and South lands. For the next 500 years, the kingdom was ruled under one royal bloodline – House Osiria, which had the hammer and anvil as its royal sigil, and ruled its subjects with iron will.

Decline

King folly and the plots of minor noble houses had undone what war and disease could not. Oria Agal was no more; divided yet again back into petty kingdoms and fiefdoms. The largest of these were the Kingdom of Bomeria and Kingdom of Thule, who waged countless wars between each other over the years, never gaining a clear advantage over the other in terms of diplomacy, trade or military. The line of House Osiria itself was no more in the last day of year -1650, as the king and his queen laid dead, their throats cut and the royal palace sacked and burned to the ground by the conspirators who sought to usurp the throne. Though there is a legend that their young son; Veles III survived and never died by the blade or in ensuing fires, as his body was never found. The usurpers soon forgot about him as they turned on each other in the following power struggles that broke the kingdom apart.

Legacy

Vash’Thorak
Type Legacy item of Oria Agal

Vash’Thorak or commonly called the ‘’Iron Crown’’ was the crown worn by the ruling kings of Oria Agal. It was first forged by the king Azar the Smith (third king of Oria Agal) to serve as the symbol of his rule and the House Osiria. It was forged from Durasteel and from strange rare metallic alloy called Ketal, that was created from combining crystalline formations known as darkstones with other metals found in the magma caverns of planet Sernpidal.
