The Mulén Matriarchy was one of the three successor matriarchies to the Siádanlen Queendom located in the Far Salahad region of Bulwar. It was formed following the death of Jexis in 1162 and the ensuing collapse of the Phoenix Empire. Lasting approximately 300 years, its end was brought by its sister matriarchy of Elaiénna in 1451.
History[]
Origin[]
Following the collapse of the Harpylen Queendom, several flocks led by Siaduna Flaming-Talon fled east, eventually settling in what is now the Šad Siádan mountains and later becoming Siadunan Harpies. By 800 the harpies had organized into the Siádanlen Queendom which later at their height controlled most of the Far Salahad and Rakhadesh.
After the fall of Siádanlen, when Jaher’s armies invaded the area in what’s known as the Sundering of Siádanlen, the northern Siadunan flocks grew distant from their southern sisters. The Siadunan Harpies remained a part of the Phoenix Empire until the death of Jexis in 1162.
Founding of Mulén[]
In the wake of Jexis’ death, the Siadunan Harpies broke free of the Phoenix Empire forming three queendoms: Mulén, Siádan, and Elaiénna. Mulén was founded by the northern Siadunan flocks and was named after Mula Swift-Sparrow, granddaughter of Siaduna Flaming-Talon. The matriarchy was guided by her teachings of cooperation, persuasion, and diplomacy.
Annexation by Elaiénna[]
By 1451 Mulén and Siádan were both subjugated by Elaiénna with support from the Jaddari Legion following their victory against Sareyand. The Muléni adapted to The Jadd with relative ease due to their philosophy of cooperation and tolerance. Under the Jadd Empire, the Muléni carved out a niche as traders between the dwarves of Verkal Gulan and the Golden Highway.
