The Kingdom of Suvol was a kingdom located in central-east Aurora that spanned the extent of the Bay of Suvol. The rulers of the Kingdom are widely considered to be the primary genetic predecessors to the Salovian Royal Family. It existed for over six centuries until the War of Succession resulted in the creation of the Suvolic Empire after the victory of Rorik II against Yurev. Suvolic culture is one of three major cultural roots that define the modern Salovian culture today, and its effects on the modern world can be seen today in a number of customs, festivals, and rituals still practiced by ethnic Salovians.

Terminology and Etymology

"Suvol" is documented in many ancient manuscripts and carvings to be an homage to an ancient deity that was central to the culture's identity: Svul, the God of the Winds and Sea. The religion that this deity belonged to is no longer well-known, however the religion is believed to have been made up of a large pantheon of gods and demi-gods, as evident by a number of archaeological sites and artifacts, like the Seniki Domes, items and paintings found in the Ghurieli Caverns, and the Stone of Alivul.
