Nionande

The Golden Kingdom of Nionande is the desert kingdom that is native to the human like race of Nion Folk who are men that have grown accustomed to living within the desert and hotter areas of Egion where they have formed their own kingdom in the form of clans with each clan having a lord and a Warlord of the Clans who is the overall leader that binds the clans together.

Description
Unlike the rest of Egion the Golden Kingdom mainly consists of desert terrain and is the hottest area of the realm where many people find the atmosphere unbearable whereas the Nion Folk themselves thrive within this type of atmosphere, to the north of the Golden Kingdom is the Rose Desert which is the only aspect of desert within Nionande that is red compared to the rest of the desert terrain within Nionande.

History
Not too much is known about the Nion Folk except that it is rumoured they were a race of humans that grew up within the hot deserts of Nionande and that is why their skin colour is different to that of a northern human or Imperial human, aside from this the Golden Kingdom itself was formed within the first era and the year of 656 AE when Katib who was a leader of a clan called Clan Tirul declared himself the Warlord of the East and the overall leader of all the clans having lords run their own clans below him. This would help establish the Golden Kingdom from the Empire and they became their own kingdom spanning a large part of the east and the south, it would be in 661 AE where Amael, who was Katib's brother, would betray his brother forming his own clan, Clan Shakkur, who would incite a civil war between all the clans which in turn formed the separate kingdom of Enodon where Amael declared himself the King of the Emerald Throne. In 672 AE the war would end and both sides would be exhausted of their power which forced Amael into hiding consolidating his power whilst Katib would try to rebuild what was damaged into a much smaller region of Nionande.

Around 300 years after the civil war between the two brothers the Golden Kingdom would be at war with the Empire of Egion who had Dorwine to back them up in the war which would eventually force Nionande to surrender and broker peace with the Empire and allowed the Empire to unify Egion further. Shortly after these events the governance of the region would be converted into a sultanate.
