Naearinor

Naearinor (Naearinorian: Naearinor), officially the Great Astral Kingdom of Naearinor (Naearinorian: Vaersthanyr Nyvalaenicyr Kalsyrysaer ver Naearinor) is a nation rumored to have existed in Syvanirastir. It it supposed to have possessed some overseas territories, primarily located in Syvanirastir. It was a Naearinorian Monarchy made up of a number of constituent nations which each had their own governments, militaries and occasionally their own treaties.

There is debate over whether the nation ever existed, however it is said to be the source of the four-point star's important place in the overall Syvan culture and mythos, as well as the source of the prophecies foretelling, among other predictions, Arkius I Doomer and the Ebon Sovereignty of Syvanirastir. Evidence of the former is provided notably in the nation's official name and monarch title, both using the word "astral", referring to the stars. Further, the half-black-half-white tree on their supposed flag is believed to represent the same power balance between light and darkness seen in the black star of the Syvan mythos, the Black Banner of the Ebon Sovereignty and again as a tree on the coat of arms of House Doomer.

If the nation did once exist, it would have been the original homeland and country of the various peoples whom identify as "Naearinorian", in addition to a number of the old Syvans and their modern descendants. However, if the existence of Naearinor were to be verified, it would very likely become an even larger target for nationalism amongst their self-identified descendants. Further, the existence of Naearinor would likely also validate the connection between the modern-day Naearinorians and the Astral Kingdom's supposed "twin realm", Andunor, which seems to have been highly similar to the Naearinorian nations, however it is uncertain whether there was any actual relation or if it were simply a historical coincidence. Similarly, another supposed (and unverified) former nation which fell before Naearinor, Danivendor, is believed by some to have been part of a kind of "triumvirate" with Naearinor and Andunor.
