(1st Reign: 420-426/6, 2nd Reign: 426-459/6) King Rodrik II of the Kilräen Dynasty was the last ruler of Amar and the first ruler of Ammarind.
In 404/6, when the Halberon Uprising broke out in neighboring Erindar, Rodrik's mother; Queen Astrid secretly supported the Loyalist faction, contributing both supplies and money to support the Ivory Throne.
Although Astrid stopped short of sending in official military forces, the Queen did allow several thousand former Amari troops to be used as mercenaries in the fighting against the rebellion. In fact, these mercenaries formed the now-legendary Steelfist Regiment, which survives into the present day.
While still the Crown-Prince, Rodrik was joined by marriage to Princess Antonia Orsini; who was sister to Estris of Erindar. The marriage was arranged in 422/6 by his mother; Queen Astrid and King Eduard of Erindar. This was a political ploy designed to secure a blood alliance to help defeat the Erindari Rebellion.
After the Halberon Uprising ended in the year 423/6, Heremmer; the new King of Erindar, forced hundreds of loyalist nobles and their families into permanent exile. These Erindari exiles moved east into Amar and allied themselves with the Amari nobility.
In the year 426/6, with the support of these noble factions, King Rodrik created the new kingdom of Ammarind and became its first king; He continued to rule the new Kingdom from 426 until 459/6.
