In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Aerdy properly refers to the now-defunct Kingdom of Aerdy. Sometimes "Aerdy" is used in reference to the Oeridian tribe which founded the kingdom, though the proper term for the tribe is "Aerdi" (which is also the adjectival form). "Aerdy" can also be used in reference to the Great Kingdom of Aerdy, the imperial successor state of the Kingdom of Aerdy.
History
The Kingdom of Aerdy was formed in -216 CY when Lord Mikar, scion of House Garasteth, united the various Aerdi principalities of the eastern Flanaess. Mikar became the first Grand Prince of the kingdom of Aerdy. In -110 CY, Aerdy's military defeated the cavalry squadrons of Nyrond at the Battle of a Fortnight's Length. The undisputed Oeridian regional superpower thereafter became known as the Great Kingdom.
