Full name: Principality of Agirdéle

Type: City state. A constitutional monarchy.

Demonym: Agirdélan, Agirdélasque

Description: A small principality on the southern coast of Nobrena, surrounded on all sides by the Kingdom of Nobrena (to the north, east and west) and the sea (to the south). The principality was founded by a noble family originally from northeast Montoverde. The local dialect is a mix of local southern Nobrenian dialects and the ruling house's original Montoverdin dialect. Agirdéle has something of a reputation for skillful banking, as well as a more dubious reputation for its recent experimenting with legalised gambling establishments, and the resulting glitz-and-glamour of it all. Some of the other unusual, novelty-focused pursuits of local royalty, includes organising the first official steam-powered and electric-powered carriage races in Aporue, or investments into scholarly pursuits, such as patronage of oceanic research and marine biology research. Agirdéle is one of the founding members of the Urban League.

Real world frame of reference: Primarily the history of the Principality of Monaco and of the House of Grimaldi. The controversial local gambling industry is less about modern casinos with roulettes, and more of a medieval to early modern version of the industry, just for the sake of humour.

City NPCs of Agirdélan origins: TBA
