The Human Kingdom of Graylith

The Human Kingdom of Graylith is bounded on the West by The Dark Coast, to the south by the Sea of Glass, to the east by the Karcag Mountains and to the north by the Circle Sea. Graylith is currently ruled by His Majesty King Ril Oldrom.

The Shadow Reign
Before the Shadow Reign, the western peninsula where it is found was divided into many smaller kingdoms. After the defeat of the Shadow King, Ril Oldrom who was just a humble blacksmith rose up to lead his people against the Shadow Minions who were still infesting the peninsula. He and his army managed to push the minions to the edge of the continent where they have been allowed to remain for the time being. In the process of ridding the land of these evil creatures, Ril Oldrom secured the love of the people and was able to create one united kingdom where before there were many.

Demographics
Graylith is overwhelmingly homogenous with approximately 98% of the population being human. The remaining 2% of the population is half-elf, halfing, or half-orc. Elves were not common on the Western Peninsula before the Shadow Reign and as with all other kingdoms of Endera they can no longer be found in Graylith. Graylith is one of the few places in Endera where half-orcs can live in peace with humans, as King Oldrom reserves places for them within his military.

Naming Conventions
Citizens of Graylith are known as Grayliths. Human names here vary widely and tend to be influenced more by dwarven names than by elven ones. All adult men are required to serve in the military and so they are known by their military rank as well as their name.

Military
Graylith is very militaristic and has the largest standing army of any kingdom of Endera. All adult males are required to serve in the military and women may choose to do so as well.

The Graylith Military is also one of the few places in Endera where you can find half-Orcs coexisting with their human counterparts.
