Ardoragh is a Golden Province in the Empire of Kythira. It is located in the west of the Kythiran Empire and is, as one of the Big Three, one of the largest provinces of the Empire. Although it mostly consists of raw nature.
Originally Ardoragh consisted of a small area of land around Alralysva, about equal in size of the province of Camuria. After the Treaty of Solleria, which made Ardoragh a part of the Kythiran Empire, and the Pardoning of Von Roterstein, it greatly expanded in size, with the aid of Kythiran resources and global trade opening up, as well as some of Kythira’s other noble houses, such as House Ulv and Prince Corspin Von Roterstein.
Today the Golden Province is, as part of the Big Three, still an important part of the Kythiran Empire. However, High-Lord Von Roterstein’s isolationist policies have greatly impaired Ardoragh’s growth. Where once it was considered the crown jewel of the Empire, today it is generally considered a backwater. Her contributions to the Empire mostly consisting of contributing ships to the Kythiran Imperial Navy. The shipyards of Ardoragh, especially those of Duke Ulv, are still considered world-class.

Politics
Ardoragh, although officially a Kythiran province, is the most autonomous of provinces and has at times been labeled as rebellious by officials at the White-Gold Tower. Although officially under Kythiran rule, the Empire holds little influence in the province at large. This at times led to petitions from government officials to split up Ardoragh into smaller, more manageable provinces, but the sudden naming of Whazajottom Roterstein as Crown Prince of Kythira ended these plans.
