Stormholt

Stormholt is a kingdom ruled over by the Royal House of Rys.

In the introduction of The Crown and the Flame, Queen Adriana Rys is the current reigning monarch of Stormholt until she was betrayed and assassinated on the orders of King Luther Nevrakis, the ruling King of the neighbouring kingdom of Abanthus. He drives the rightful heiress to the crown, Kenna Rys, away and usurps the throne of Stormholt for himself.

House Nevrakis rules Stormholt for the next two years; before sailing away on an important mission to the Iron Empire, King Luther appoints his son and heir Prince Marco regent, leaving him to rule Stormholt in his absence. However the regency is short-lived as Kenna returns to Stormholt, complete with an army made up of factions from across the Five Kingdoms, to reclaim her ancestral home and crown.

The resulting battle saw Kenna prevail and crown herself the Queen of Stormholt, where she remains the current reigning monarch.
