The Llaelese Resistance

(from the Iron Kingdoms World Guide pg. 238)

The sovereignty of Llael ended harshly in the winter of 604 ! when" in a
lightning atta#$" %hador invaded and #a&ght its people and their 'ygnaran allies off
g&ard. few months of fighting later" Llael was an o##&pied state.(
The #o&ntry of Llael has always )een a pe#&liar #o&ntry. *ts #&stoms and
traditions are &ni+&e and" some wo&ld say" more #ivili,ed and enlightened than the other
$ingdoms of *mmoren. -espite all of its no)ility and grand history" the #o&ntry of Llael
was no mat#h for the iron might of %hador. *n modern times" the pop&lation of Llael is
not renowned for its strength of arms. .in#e the pea$ of !ynnish power d&ring the /rgoth
re)ellion" Llael has )e#ome #ompla#ent. *ts military power has slowly withered to no
more than several h&ndred !oyal 0&ards )a#$ed &p )y hired 1er#enary 'ompanies and
its long time ally" 'ygnar. ltho&gh Llael has )een the s#ene of n&mero&s )attles against
%hadoran aggression" the rapid %hadoran assa&lt was a s&rprise.
2ven if there had )een some advan#e warning" it3s do&)tf&l that %hador #o&ld3ve
)een repelled for long. 4&een yn 5anar *6" driven )y her grandfather3s vision of a new
%hardi# empire" was determined to anne7 Llael no matter what the #ost. The military
might of %hador has risen to impressive proportions" greater than any other of the *ron
%ingdoms. 8ith 'ygnar3s attention divided )etween its northern and so&thern )orders"
its military is stret#hed too thin to press a #o&nter atta#$ aimed at driving %hador o&t of
Llael. 9or now" they are more #on#erned a)o&t #ontaining the %hadorans and shoring &p
their own )orders. To #ompli#ate matters more" a#tivity in the Thornwood 9orest" long a
pla#e of dire warfare" has f&rther wea$ened 'ygnar3s a)ility to #onfront the %hadorans in
Llael. s it stands" Llael will remain &nder %hadoran o##&pation for the near f&t&re"
perhaps longer if meas&res aren3t ta$en to red&#e the poten#y of %hador3s military might.
The sit&ation among the *ron %ingdoms is tedio&s to say the least. The level of
aggression has )een es#alating for many years" #&lminating in all o&t warfare. :ow is a
time of woe for the people of *mmoren" their livelihood threatened on m&ltiple fronts.
1any #iti,ens have )een pressed into fighting at the )ehest of their royal leaders. *n
Llael" the people are &ndergoing a parado7i#al #hange" their #&lt&re of frivolity and
e7#ess harshly s&ppressed )y their new %hadoran masters. The #o&ntry of Llael has
)e#ome a virt&al slave of %hador. The wants and needs of the Llaelese are #onsidered
immaterial to the greater goal of strengthening the 1otherland and its vast armies.
5al&a)le material goods and nat&ral reso&r#es have all )een diverted to %hador. The
)&sinesses and instit&tions of Llael have either )een a)olished or #onfis#ated. 1any
Llaelese #iti,ens have s&ffered &nder the oppression of %hador. 9amily estates and
fort&nes that have e7isted for #ent&ries have )een li+&idated to appease the %hadoran
throne. 8hat was on#e Llaelese is now %hadoran.

Tho&gh for#ed from her homeland" shlynn has not lost her fight. .in#e the
