Caembarin
From A Wheel of Time Wiki
Caembarin was a kingdom of the Free Years. It was founded after the end of the Trolloc Wars, and was established on the former territory of Coremanda. It was later absorbed by the growing might of Artur Hawkwing's Empire. Caembarin was one of the strongest nations of its day and fielded a large army. The lands it once held are now controlled by eastern Andor and the eastern-most part of Murandy.
[edit] Geography
Caembarin lay near the centre of the Westlands and was bordered by the River Erinin to the east, the River Luan to the north and Caralain Grass to the north-west. Its western border lay just west of the River Cary. Its neighbours were Aldeshar to the west, Dal Calain to the north-west, Tar Valon to the north, Shandalle to the east and Nerevan to the south.
It is possible and likely that Caemlyn served as the capital of Caembarin and gave the nation its name, but this is not confirmed. The modern cities and towns of New Braem and Aringill also lay within Caembarin's territory.
[edit] History
Caembarin was a militarily powerful kingdom and seemingly on good terms with the Aes Sedai. Queen Nesaline of Caembarin sent troops to the War of the Second Dragon, and at the urging of the Amyrlin Seat Bonwhin Meraighdin also launched an invasion of Shandalle in FY 943 which was thrown back by Artur Hawkwing. Caembarin was one of the first kingdoms to fall to Hawkwing's advance.
Caembarin and Aldeshar were unified to form the Province of Andor following the Consolidation, with the provincial capital at Caemlyn. After Hakwing's death in FY 994, Andor declared independence under Queen Ishara Casalain and became a sovereign nation.
