Old Rath Isle

Old Rath Isle is the southernmost kingdom participating in the Sildredgian Consulate. The island is ruled through direct democracy and although it is lead by a Steward, Ornell Grundi, this position is mostly symbolic. The economy of the island is based on the excavation and trade of mined minerals and gems.

History
Old Rath Isle was one of the lands originally conquered by Wiran Beloth during the time of the Kingdom of Sildredge. Beloth placed Rickard Attuck in charge of the isle during the investigation into the Xernean Stone.

When the ancient dragon raised by Quintel Balfour, an agent of Imperator Shey'Zim, broke the kingdom in the Ravage, Attuck found himself and his island under attack politically and militarily by the other former provinces of the Kingdom of Sildredge. He had had dealings with Balfour, and his reputation lead to suspicion. Attuck fled the isle with his followers, revealing his secret marriage to Gaalah, a queen of the orcs to the west. They founded the kingdom of Rathskellar to the south and refused to join the Sildredgian Consulate when the other kingdoms called for peace. Forseeing his own death Rickard broke his kingdom up equally between his sons, and the generations that followed have done the same.

Following the flight of Rickard Attuck, the remaining people of Old Rath Isle fell into disarray. Ornell Grundi, a charismatic miner, united the mining unions and formed a government by direct democracy. The capital, Attuck's Arrow, was renamed Grundolin, in his honor, and the united island built the Den, to house the new democratic government.
