Miydal¶
Miydal is "a small kingdom among the islands of the Broken Sea", "an important trading center and seafaring nation" of the Riven Kingdoms (S319). Its people are "predominantly human, with some lizardfolk and wood elves", and its patron is Sidhe, Goddess of the Trade Winds, one of the Unaligned Gods (S319). The Proturan-era spelling is Miydol (S066).
Government¶
King Tobias Egeland rules with "an effective Erubule (council of nobles) which councils and votes on major decisions and matters of succession. The ruling Erubule has been in place for several hundred years, though several dynasties have come and gone" (S319). The royal house, Queen Hanna, Crown Prince Magnus and the younger Vidar and Tora, and the Miydal navy are the Factions page Riven Thrones and Councils.
Law and borders¶
"Witchcraft, Fae Magic and Hollowcasting is forbidden. Divine casting, including Runecasting is permitted. Slavery and Undead are legal" (S319). The borders are open, "but considers all Sancturi, Oesterkull and Orcs (including traders and priests) as enemies and will not allow them entry without a sponsor. They will be arrested and executed or deported if found without a sponsor inside the borders" (S319).
Economy and sea power¶
"Fishing and Trade are the biggest sources of income. They are also well known for their vineyards and wine" (S319). "What the Miydal navy lacks in numbers they make up for in quality and experience. Their ships are superbly built and operated. The people of Miydal descend from a proud naval lineage and their shipbuilding techniques have been passed down since before the Age of the Dark Sun. Their ships are nearly uncatchable and they will not engage in battles where they will not be the clear victor" (S317). Miydal "is relatively isolated compared to other kingdoms, but has many trading partners. They clash frequently with Orcs and Oesterkull raiders and pirates as well as with Imperium ships" (S319).
Later ages¶
Ruins of Miydol lie among those of Alghert, Brusau, Floren and Uthein in the Sunaram Cluster of the Rift (S066).
