Greenriver ForestersIf the Ynn River gave life to the Sarda, then the Greenriver Forest - Vels Velenynn - is what kept us alive afterwards. Its creatures are a source of food and clothes, and its trees provide us with plentiful hiding spots and observation points. Even before we started building towers and castles, trees would be our towers and castles, and nowhere is our ancient forestry tradition as alive as in Trompolere.

Poisoned ArrowsExtracted from a purple flower named Leak - meaning lesson - is a harrowing poison which is brewed in Trompolere. Starting off by giving a light tickle from inside the body, it soon evolves into a burning, pricking sensation which never goes away. The weakest victims convulse and scream ripping at their skin only a few minutes after Leak has entered their bloodstream, while the strongest are slowly driven insane over the course of days or weeks as their family watches. To invaders, this is the curse of the Sarda. To us, it's a harsh lesson we teach any who would invade our homeland.

Treehouse StridersVital to the survival of the early Sarda settlements, was a system of travelling sentries and messengers. Once a village came under attack or enemies were sighted, a messenger would run for miles on foot through the forest towards the nearest treehouse, and that treehouse would in turn send out messengers to warn other villages and treehouses. Trompolere, originally one such treehouse, was made into a castle during the ninth century after Flood, with a courtyard where the original tree still grows, and stables for horses which allow our sentries to travel much faster.

Alaran's Bold UndertakingsLord Alaran yen Cestor grew up with the myths of the kings of ancient Vareynn and their conquests and exploits across the Ynn. On his sixteenth birthday, he took the reins of his small fief and embarked on a campaign to reunite all of the Ynn under one banner again, meeting great initial success. While he made many enemies, and died without reaching his ambition, the bold - if not outright visionary - ambition of Alaran left a mark on the collective imagination, and he became the most famous scion of House yen Cestor, his name learned by young Ynnic lords through history books.\n\nPerhaps a little Alaran is growing up in Trompolere today and, inspired by the myth of his predecessor, he will amaze the world with even greater ambitions.

Bows Versus MusketsThe Sarda are the best archers of the Ynn, and the Trompolerey are the best archers of the Sarda. While some of our advisors have brought up the possibility of adopting firearms, archery is the symbol of our nation, and we are not going to forsake it for a clunky glorified crossbow brought by outsiders. Rather, we shall double our efforts to counter the weapon of the Cannorians, donning our troops in enchanted cloaks resistant to gunpowder and casting magical protections on their eardrums. A gun might be louder, but - gnomish contraptions aside - you can't shoot three bullets at once!

Erandil Poison-ArrowErandil yen Cestor was the third-born son of the lords of Trompolere who lived during the second half of the sixteenth century. While his brothers pursued the paths of rulership and priesthood, Erandil heeded the call of the wilds, becoming a hunter then an adventurer, and spent two decades travelling across newfounded Cannorian settlements in Veykoda.\n\nWhen his home country became embroiled in the War of the Bacaran Succession, Erandil rode home to assist the fight first-hand, and trained a new generation of archers. While uninterested in a stable profession such as general or instructor, the legacy of Erandil's drills allowed Trompolerey archery, already renowned, to reach its final apex.
