Aelgar was one of the Ten Nations and fell in the aftermath of the Trolloc Wars. It was renowned for its wealth and power.[verify] The associated denonym is Aelgari.[1]
Geography[]
Aelgar was located in the southwestern corner of the Westlands, stretching from the Aryth Ocean to the River Eldar and from the southern end of the Mountains of Mist to the Sea of Storms. It was bordered by Safer to the north, Manetheren to the northeast, and Eharon to the east. Its capital was Ancohima. Its other major cities were Condaris, Mainelle (on the site of modern Tanchico), and Shar Honelle. All were Ogier-built.[2]
Aelgar's territory incorporated most of modern Tarabon, all of Amadicia, and a thin slice of western Altara, as well as the entirety of the Shadow Coast.
History[]
Aelgar arose in the aftermath of the Breaking of the World. King Remedan the Goldentongued signed the Compact of the Ten Nations for Aelgar in 209 AB, allying the kingdom to the other nations of the Westlands.
Mat's earliest memory given to him by the Eelfinn is fighting against the Aelgari on the side of King Maecine of Eharon between 500-600 AB.[1]
It was known for its "fabled lost mines" that lay south of modern-day Amadicia in the mountain range on the Shadow Coast.[3]
It survived the Trolloc Wars, but collapsed shortly thereafter, with the nations of Balasun and Kharendor arising from its ruins.
