Ray posted this note about how the Kingdom of the Isles came to power on the mainland of Triagia:
The Kingdom began on the Island of Rillanon. They conquered their neighbors to form the Kingdom of the Isles (that's how they got the name). Their first foothold on the mainland was the conquest of Bas-Tyra. From there it was just expansion until they ran into the Empire.
At roughly the same time, the rebellion of the Keshian Confederacy caused the Empire to pull its forces to the south, allowing the Free Cities and Queg to become independent, and giving Isles more room to grow.
