The Raynorian Commonwealth, or Raynoria, is a Duchy in Shireroth and ruled by the Rex of Raynoria. Raynoria is one of the younger Duchies of Shireroth as it came into existence during the reign of Gaelen IV, in 4303 ASC. It's named after the first Shirerithian Kaiser, Raynor I, and its territory covers some of the original core counties of the Empire (which first were part of Brookshire and Goldshire).
Government
Rex
The head of Raynoria is the king, officially named Rex. He's the supreme ruler of Raynoria and stands above the other nobles. He's seen as the direct representative of the Kaiser. Nonetheless he gets elected by the members of the Kehl.
Kehl
The Kehl is the legislatif chamber of Raynoria. It exists out of all counts with a county within the kingdom and grants the nobles one vote each. They can vote about laws, taxes and can elect the Rex.
Culture
An urban society
The culture of Raynoria differs from county to county and even from city to city. Nonetheless, there are common characteristics between the several subdivisions of the kingdom. For example: almost everywhere the landscape of the kingdom exists of large cities with around it almost unpopulated farmland and forests.
Shirekeep, which is also capital of Shireroth, dominates the urban society. This isn't surprising, as it's one of the oldest cities within the Empire. Nonetheless, other Raynorian cities have followed its example and have slowly concentrated upon industrialisation and trade, which made the cities quite rich (in contrast with cities from other duchies).
Religion
Religion in Raynoria is, just as everywhere else, an integrated part in the life of the citizenry. Very popular in Shirekeep is the worshipping of Sakat (the Cedrist god of Time) and the tree god Malarbor.
History
While the history of the counties which form Raynoria goes much further back in time, the history of the kingdom began in 4303 ASC on the day when it was formed by the local nobility.
