Nildahme (also known as Nirdam) was a kingdom of western Galicia, located along the Sea of Rai. The kingdom had no standing army, but every citizen was a fierce warrior who would fight to protect the kingdom. Except in an emergency, most people lived their lives based on agriculture and hunting.
Origins[]
The kingdom was founded by the Bolmoccans about a thousand years prior to the events of the Ogre Battle games. Legend has it that the Bolmoccans came from a continent to the south of Xytegenia, but were led to the shores of Galicia by a god who chose them to take part in the Ogre Battle. After the end of the Ogre Battle, they settled the shores of the Sea of Rai, and later founded their kingdom there.
Fall of Nildahme[]
When their country was invaded by Lodis, the king of Nildahme stood on the front lines and led the battle. However, facing overwhelming odds, he was wounded and forced to withdraw from the front.
It was believed that the princes would take the king's place on the field, but instead they argued among themselves over whether to resist Lodis at all. In this fractured and chaotic state, they were no match for the armies of Lodis, and the kingdom inevitably fell.
The penalty that Lodis placed on Nildahme was very different from what other subjugated kingdoms had to endure: the royal family was placed under arrest, and their people were forced into labor. This was in reaction to the strong opposition the kingdom had presented, and the physical characteristics of its people.
