The Kingdom of Nindrol was a sea elven kingdom located northwest of the Duchy of Alon. It was founded over one thousand years ago by a powerful sorcerer who banished the sahuagin from the Material Plane.
History
Founding
Nindrol was founded by the semi-legendary sorcerer-chieftain Elathor of the Black Wind, who helped drive the then-pervasive sahuagin from the Skaugan seas to some other realm. He is said to have grown the coral palace from the seafloor in a single day.
Era of Prosperity
Owing to its location between Argonas and Hinazka, the kingdom prospered as a trading post. The end of the kingdom's prosperity began with the mysterious disappearance of Queen Amnestria "the Dragonslayer" Naïlo. King Mourn "The Oathbreaker" Naïlo inherited the throne after Queen Amnestria.
Plague
Early in King Mourn's reign a great plague ravaged the kingdom. Though elves are known for their resistance to disease, the kingdom was decimated, leading some to conclude that the disease was caused by evil magic. It is said that King Mourn made a pact with a dark power in an attempt to contain the infection; this was likely the cause of his madness. He began to rely on demonic servitors, bound to him by some fell magic, to enforce his rule.
Civil War
In an attempt to take control of the kingdom and depose the mad king, King Mourn's brother, Elashor "The Ceremonious" Naïlo, waged a civil war against The Oathbreaker. Many of the mightiest sea elven warriors and mages were killed in the battles. To counter The Oathbreaker's undead and fiendish allies, then-Prince Elashor arranged a marriage with Miralee Nasadra, a scion of the powerful drow House Nasadra of Ched Nasad. Meera's sisters led a force of drow mages and assassins who managed to help turn the tide of the war and allow Elashor to force The Oathbreaker to battle outside the walls of Nindrol.
The brothers met in single combat, Elashor wielding his dowry, the magic sword Telemnar ("silver-flame"), and The Oathbreaker fighting with the terrible black trident Unqfëa ("fisher of souls"). Elashor prevailed but took a terrible wound that never fully healed, despite the best efforts of the sea elven clerics and doctors.
Destruction
The destruction of the Kingdom of Nindrol came to be known as the Desolation of Nindrol.
Present Day
After the death of Countess Mila Amastica in the fortress city of Noctvos, seat of County of Malon in the Duchy of Alon, Ilabrar recovered what at first glance appeared to be an astronomical chart, but was actually a topographical map of a coral reef.
It depicted a crescent-shaped island and an entrance into Nindrol.
