Athorna

The Athornian Valde  (Valittun: Atkornae Valde) or as it was commonly called, Athorna was a major nation within the former Valittun Realm and was acknowledged as its successor in terms of culture and prestige. The Athornian crown followed the same laws as all other members of the Realm, absolute elective succession. Unlike its neighbours Athorna still used this form long after the others had abandoned it. Although elective, only two dynasties ever dominated the elections leading to the 'Twin-Monarchy' where each dynasty essentially took turns.
