Gruenormark is one of the oldest nations in Lesser Galwyndor, having been around since before the time of the Great Purge, though then it was just a small city-state called Gruen. It is ruled by the House Jerinsen from the seat at Fairstone.
People of Gruenormark are referred to as being "Gruenor".
Allies
Andermark, Ildoria, Terismark, and Lothlan are allies.
Rivals
Averia, Aeryl, and Scurn are all rivals of Gruenormark. Gruenormark's embargo on Scurn elicited animosity from Averia, and because of Averia's close relationship with Aeryl, Aeryl followed suit.
History
Gruenormark is one of the great dynasties, having existed since before the time of the Great Purge, though in those days is was a small city-state called Gruen (this city no longer exists, though the ruins can still be seen). In fact, it was the assassination of the Gruen king, Ealred 4, by Draol vormongers which led the nations to form a coalition and partner with the Eari in order to rid the world of magic. During the Purge, a Gruen cavalion commander named Genther Stormloft would return from Meralia to take part in the extermination. Once Gruen was liberated, a new king, Devonian 3 was installed, though he was also later assassinated, and the House Jerinsen banner emblem was changed from a regular stallion to Thurreliot.
