THE PRINCIPALITY OF KOORA IZLENDI

Koora Izlendi and the Isle of Ceero comprise the Principality of Izlendi, which was established 500 years ago off the coast of Cybrea. The explorer  Rexhell Dupp Rominotron discovered the islands in 1567. During the 19th century innovative Prunch Dormanodd Karbag Rominotron III became the ruler who established the first postal service of the islands. He also created a successful line of trinket shops which brought in much revenue to an otherwise impoverished realm. Princess Ennibool Katchitanodl was his bride. Her line of mermaid embroideries helped sustain the trinket shops of her husband.

In the early 20th  century Prunch Merkon de Koora brought modern industry to the land with the establishment of Merkon Ettodomion. At this time the newfound wealth of the islands attracted the greedy rulers of Cybrea who attempted a series of invasions. Merkon manufactured whale skin boots which were popular in  the markets of Eastern Amphora. 

After the conquest of Cybrea by the Digby Brothers, peace came to the islands, with the halting of the ancient war with the people of the mainland.
