Kingdom of Bunwick-Avelson

The Kingdom of Bunwick-Avelson was a human kingdom founded in the modern day Plaguelands. The Kingdom is mostly known for being one of the first kingdom founded by humans north of the Hinterlands, as well as preserving the Arathorian tradition of having a senate.

History
The Kingdom was founded by the union of several independent counties, duchies, and cities in circa 1500 AD. The founding document was formally referred to as the The Confederate Union to Form the Greater Kingdom of Bunwick and Avelson.

The following is a list of founding states.
 * The Grand Duchy of Bunwick
 * The Duchy of Araton
 * The Duchy of Garvellon
 * The High County of Avelson-Barson
 * The County of Tyriva
 * The County of Barkwick
 * The County of Shythia
 * The Free Town of Wahlshire
 * The Free Town of Capria
 * The Village of Cassbury

With the founding also came the election of the first King: King Alson Dogery I, who was also the Duke of Garvellon.

After the signing of the union, many of the founders went about consolidating and conquering the states not within the Kingdom's boundaries. For fifty years after the signing, little would occur, and mostly little is documented at this point.

The quiet period would end with the death of Alson Dogery, with the dispute of who would become the next king. Many wanted to keep the electoral system in place, though some started to consider having a central, hereditary figurehead. Two sides emerged from this divide, with some of the states, especially the counties, favoring Alson's son, Duke Karl Dogery.
