The vast Plains of Ordona have been ruled by numerous peoples throughout recorded history. Prior to the arrival of [[Akkala]]ns in the south, the plains were home to the [[Moblins]] in the southwest and the Kingdom of Ikana in the southeast. The lands that would become Ordona Province were part of the [[Kingdom of Ikana]] during the unification of Akkala circa 3000 BG, between the Ikana Canyons and the border province of Zonai. In 2993 BG Ikana suffered a Civil War and fell within days, leaving behind only corpses and ruins, and their lands were left unpoulated. After the destructive war with the Blins, Akkalan settlers began to migrate south, settling in the fertile valleys and mountains of Ordona. These settlers were not obsessed with preserving familiar bloodlines as the Akkalans to the north, and freely bred and mixed bloodlines, resulting in a robust and diverse people who were looked upon with suspicion. With these came an erosion of the Akkalan noble families, instead being replaced by a class of landed nobility known as [[Fief Lord]]s, ruled by a [[Circle of Lords and Mayors|council of Mayors]]. Over the centuries, the Ordonians would become a distinct ethnic and cultural entity from their Akkalan cousins, now called Hylians, most notable their rounded ears, a dominant trait that appeared in any child sired by Ordonians and Hylians. The Hylians feared the loss of their ethnic identity, and thus made intermarriage with Ordonians taboo.
Established as a vassal state of the Kingdom of Hyrule, Ordona Province grew to become the most powerful agrarian nation in all of history. What they lacked in military might they made up for with a powerful economy fueled by crops, livestock, and some of the finest brew this side of Lake Hylia. Motivated by hard work and having a good time, the people of Ordona Province were nonetheless some of the toughest folks around.

Ordona remained a culturally distinct but politically unified force with the Kingdom of Hyrule until 39 AG, when it was granted the status of a semi-autonomous Province by Princess [[Nylin Nohansen Zelda I]].
== Ordonians ==
 
The Ordonians are the descendents of Ancient Hylians unburdened by the keeping of pure bloodlines. They displayed a much larger variety of features from their Hylian cousins, everything from skin tone to hair and eye colors. A notable trait of the Ordonians was their rounded ears, a trait passed on to all their children even if one parent is of Hylian blood. As a result it was considered quite taboo (and in some circles, outright illegal) for Hylian and Ordonian marriages to take place for fear of a Hylian genocide.

Ordonains speak a distinct dialect of the Hylian language, a descendant of Ancient Hylian, much like their Hylian cousins. The Ordonian dialect is fully intelligible with the standard Hylian used by the [[Kingdom of Hyrule]].

=== Noble Houses ===

In the early days of Akkalan settlers moving south, a number of noble families sworn to [[House Nohansen]] moved to what would become Ordona Province. Over time, the power of these Houses diminished and they largely dissolved into the landed Fief Lords and Lord Mayors of Ordona. However, those with Hylian Noble blood, such as [[Daphnes Kazakk]] of House Kazakk, would continue to be born in the Province.
=== Ancient Age ===

{| class="article-table"
Ordona Province began as the [[Ancient Hylians|Ancient Hylian]] colony of [[Nal Ordona]]. In 5000 BG, the armies of Hyrule assembled in the small farming settlement in a bid to lure Sulkaris' Gohma into a trap on the plains of Ordona. Over the following millennia, Ordona remained a vital agrarian province of the [[Kingdom of Hyrule]]. Its Ancient Hylian citizens were unconcerned with perpetuating the traits associated with Hylians, creating a vastly different variety of physical traits and genetic diversity. At some point a mutation causing rounded ears became dominant among the Ordonians, this trait in fact will be present in a child even if one parent is a pure hylian.

Ordona Province is a playable faction in Hyrule Conquest.

History

The vast Plains of Ordona have been ruled by numerous peoples throughout recorded history. Prior to the arrival of Akkalans in the south, the plains were home to the Moblins in the southwest and the Kingdom of Ikana in the southeast. The lands that would become Ordona Province were part of the Kingdom of Ikana during the unification of Akkala circa 3000 BG, between the Ikana Canyons and the border province of Zonai. In 2993 BG Ikana suffered a Civil War and fell within days, leaving behind only corpses and ruins, and their lands were left unpoulated. After the destructive war with the Blins, Akkalan settlers began to migrate south, settling in the fertile valleys and mountains of Ordona. These settlers were not obsessed with preserving familiar bloodlines as the Akkalans to the north, and freely bred and mixed bloodlines, resulting in a robust and diverse people who were looked upon with suspicion. With these came an erosion of the Akkalan noble families, instead being replaced by a class of landed nobility known as Fief Lords, ruled by a council of Mayors. Over the centuries, the Ordonians would become a distinct ethnic and cultural entity from their Akkalan cousins, now called Hylians, most notable their rounded ears, a dominant trait that appeared in any child sired by Ordonians and Hylians. The Hylians feared the loss of their ethnic identity, and thus made intermarriage with Ordonians taboo.

Ordona remained a culturally distinct but politically unified force with the Kingdom of Hyrule until 39 AG, when it was granted the status of a semi-autonomous Province by Princess Nylin Nohansen Zelda I.

Politics

Noble Houses

In the early days of Akkalan settlers moving south, a number of noble families sworn to House Nohansen moved to what would become Ordona Province. Over time, the power of these Houses diminished and they largely dissolved into the landed Fief Lords and Lord Mayors of Ordona. However, those with Hylian Noble blood, such as Daphnes Kazakk of House Kazakk, would continue to be born in the Province.
