Ordona Province (Pronounced Ord-on-a) is a planned playable faction in Hyrule Conquest.
Description
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.
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.
Language
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.
History
Ancient Age
Ordona Province began as the 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.
First Golden Age
Ordona Province was granted semi-autonomy by Princess Nylin Zelda I during her reign.
