Basics of the Kingdom-- Year: 1257 Government: Elective Monarch Currency: Denars Capital: Jelkala History of the Kingdom of Rhodoks -- As with much of the history of Calradia, that of the Rhodoks is obscure. The Rhodoks were originally part of the Kingdom of Swadia, but rebelled and founded their own kingdom. This is reflected in their troop types, and choice of territory, pikemen and crossbowmen in mountainous terrain to defeat the Knights of Swadia as they lacked cavalry and thus relied on pike and crossbow to prevail over the Knights. Bunduk recounts how a war-veteran named Grunwalder came "over the hills" after the war and taught the Rhodoks the art of war to defend themselves against the Swadians, effectively becoming an ancestral hero to the Rhodok people. Grunwalder would die in the rebellion he started, but his memory would live on as the Rhodoks swore never to bow to any king again. However, as Artimenner recounts when the player nears Culmarr Castle, the count of that fortress used its geographical advantage to levy heavy taxes on all nearby caravan routes, and used this as leverage to be elected King of the Rhodoks. All rulers of the Rhodoks thenceforth were elected Kings, the latest of which is King Graveth.
