Mantle

Mantle is a kingdom located in the southwestern corner of Tirod.

History
Mantle was originally part of the kingdom of Atlas.

During the Third Era, the continent of Tirod was under the encroachment of Katholism. King Elrik of Atlas soon began to isolate his kingdom from trade and influence. The people of Atlas' southern provinces soon rioted over the kings decision, among the slavery of the Fera and unregulated power of the monarchy. These riots eventually led to the Atlas Civil War.

The war came to an end when the Fera general Kolstad led a surprise attack against the forces of Atlas while they slept.

After the war, Atlas was forced to recognize Mantle's independence.

Politics
A council of elected leaders governs Mantle. Each councilor represents a city in Mantle.
