Inverniel

Inverniel is a small country located on the southern coast of the continent of Syaphar. It is directly east of the delta of the River Inver.

Inverniel is known for its various industrial capacities, including its ports -- home to merchants, pirates, and navy vessels alike -- and its developing aeronautical industry.

The capital city of Inverniel is Ysolta, located at its southernmost tip.

History
Despite its location next to the fertile delta of a major river, Inverniel struggled to establish itself for many years, often engulfed by the surrounding territories of Lornquist and Wexcarragh. The creation and subsequent monopolization of strategic ports around the southern coast of the country allowed its leaders to gain an upper hand in negotiations with territories within Syaphar as well as with those seeking to access its resources.

Inverniel was the epicenter of the Howling Plague that struck much of the continent in 1471PD.

More recently, Inverniel has hosted the annual International Aeronauts Conference every other year since its inception at the Marsodium College of the City of Ysolta.

Governance
The Andeen family has ruled over Inverniel for ten generations, and the current of-age members serve as an advising body to the Lord Minister. They include Queen Sibella, Princess Amber, Princes Roy, Adelard, and Hiram, and Duchess Rasa.

The current Lord Minister of Inverniel is Vertina Morphorque, a half-orc. Her election to the position was met with mixed reactions, as she marks the first non-human and second female Lord Minister in the country's history.
