Arium

Arium is the second largest city in Lordaeron, and she was once the largest and most powerful city-state in Lordaeron, with an unbroken history of kings of seventeen dynasties handed down the kingship from The Gods themselves stretching back ten thousand years to the time of Lady Irene, but under the swords of Caesarius Coterel the city's royal line was extinguished and the Seventeenth Dynasty wiped out and, after centuries of foreign rule starting with the simpleminded, brutish and racist Duke Zuko I Qo, a vassal republic has been created, led by Arians and Ireneists in equal measures, with two elected Calns(a word for an elected monarch of Arium, usually for a yearly term) selected each year by the people, the Ireneists choosing the Ireneist one and the Arians choosing the Arian one. The polytheistic tradition of the Arians thus still remains, and has been granted special protection by the nevertheless devout Ireneist Kings of Lordaeron in recent years.
