Ventoleo is one of the stranger sovereign states in Hysh, as they are somewhat trusted by the Great Nations due to their feat of reclaiming a small peninsula that was considered to be lost to the forces of Chaos. Ventoleo still has its quirks, and those quirks keep it isolated from the other nations, chief among them is, the “Enlightened Mordants” as the phenomenon is called.
These “Enlighted Mordants” retains some of the physical characteristics of “normal” Mordants, pale skin and bat-like noses and the like, but are free of the Carrion King’s curse, the delusions of the Flesh Eater Courts. This is explained by an ancient artefact called “The Mana Grail”, a golden chalice 1 foot tall from the rim of the cup to the foot, with the cup being 1 foot in diameter. At the beginning of Age of Sigmar, the newly christened king of the court, when the court was still a nomadic scourge against chaos, received visions of a place of enlightenment where his people would have a home, he ordered a crusade for his people’s new homeland against the forces of Slaanesh and their beastmen allies. After He fought them off, Talnya Moonglimer, the greatest military leader of the small offshoot of Realm-Lords that felt abandoned by Teclis, made a pact with the Archregant; that they would start a new nation with ghouls and aelves, side by side.
In the modern-day, there are two gods worshipped: the Chainbreaker and Vernuxio, The Allmother, The former, Mordants’ imported deity and the latter the Ventoleon aelves new deity. It is said that the two gods wedded each other, and this does make for a good representation of the union of two peoples to come together to create something better, to have a brighter future.
