The Mulen Matriarchy was one of the three successor matriarchies to the Siadanlen 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 Elayenna in 1453.
History[]
Origin[]
Following the collapse of the Firanyalen Queendom, several flocks led by Siaduna Flaming-Talon fled east, eventually settling in what is now the Šad Siadan mountains and later becoming Siadunan Harpies. By 800 the harpies had organized into the Siadanlen Queendom which later at their height controlled most of the Far Salahad and Rakhadesh.
After the fall of Siadanlen, when Jaher’s armies invaded the area in what’s known as the Sundering of Siadanlen, 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 Mulen[]
In the wake of Jexis’ death, the Siadunan Harpies broke free of the Phoenix Empire forming three queendoms: Mulen, Siadan, and Elayenna. Mulen 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 Elayenna[]
By 1453 Mulen and Siadan were both subjugated by Elayenna with support from the Jaddari Legion following their victory against Sareyand. The Muleni adapted to The Jadd with relative ease due to their philosophy of cooperation and tolerance. Under the Jadd Empire, the Muleni carved out a niche as traders between the dwarves of Verkal Gulan and the Golden Highway.
