Ardoragh is a Golden Province in the Empire of Kythira. It lays in the western realms of the Kythiran Empire and is, as one of the Big Three, one of the largest provinces of the Kythira.
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 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, todvery ay that isolationism has greatly damaged her reputation in both Minecraftia in general and the rest of the Empire in particular. During the Fourth Era, contributions to the Empire consist mostly of contributing ships to the Kythiran Imperial Navy, with the shipyards of Ardoragh, especially those of Duke Ulv, still being 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.
