Fjorden and its client states encompass vast majority of the continent of [[Opelon]].

The original state reigning over Fjorden was the Old Empire, also known as the First Empire. Over three hundred years ago, the Old Empire nearly conquered all of Opelon—only Arelon, with the help of Elantrian magic, stood against it. Eventually, the Old Empire fell because of administrative problems—it conquered more than it could hold.{{book ref|Elantris|Glossary}}

== Culture and Social Structure==
⚫
About three hundred years ago, Wyrn Wulfden the First converted to the Derethi religion, and within a generation all of Fjorden had done likewise. Thus, Fjorden was reborn -- this time, as a theocracy. For the next three hundred years, the Wyrns have been blatantly altering their country’s own histories and literature to make it seem as if the empire has always been a manifestation of divine purpose. Poetry and lives of kings were all rewritten to remove any references to now-pagan religions.{{book ref|Elantris|43}}

Strict and militaristic, the Fjordell live by the Shu-Dereth. The Fjordell will do anything to carry themselves higher. That is a very Fjordell thing to do—ambition was the one emotion Jaddeth would accept as readily as devotion. {{book ref|Elantris|3}}
   
  +
The Fjordell God is [[Jaddeth]], and he rules through His servant Wyrn Wulfden the Fourth, Emperor and King. It was a basic tenet of Shu-Dereth that only one man could serve Jaddeth directly; the religion was very regimented, and its structure was reminiscent of the feudal government that had once ruled in Fjorden. One served those above him, who served those above him, and so on until it reached Wyrn, who served Jaddeth. Everyone served Jaddeth’s empire, but only one man was holy enough to serve God Himself. {{book ref|Elantris|8}}
⚫
Now, instead of sending troops across the continent, Fjorden sends priests. It is said that the conversions obtained—or forced—by these priests have granted Fjorden more power than even the First Empire once held, and so, by the time of the [[Reod]], it has become the continent's dominant state, and Wyrns are more powerful now than even.{{book ref|Elantris|5}}{{book ref|Elantris|Glossary}}

Shortly after the Reod, Fjorden began to spread their influence West once again, beginning with [[Duladel]] Republic.{{book ref|elantris|8}} This was successful, albeit bloody, and ten years after the Reod, the Fjordell turned their sights to now-weakened [[Arelon]]. They began by sending [[Hrathen]] to attempt to convert the nation to [[Shu-Dereth]], and thus make it submit to Fjorden. Should this prove impossible within three months, Fjorden would send armies to destroy every living being in Arelon's cities.{{book ref|Elantris|3}} They also lent financial support to [[Telrii]], an Arelish follower of Shu-Derethi who wanted to take the Arelish throne, and sank king [[Iadon]]'s merchant fleets.{{book ref|elantris|15}}

Fjorden’s relition is the [[Shu-Dereth]]. The name given to the religion founded by Dereth. Shu-Dereth interpreted Keseg’s teachings to mean that all men must be united beneath the rule of one nation. Dereth taught that once all men bow before a single monarch, proving their unified nature, God would come to live amongst them.

Simultaneously, they began working on the conquest of [[Teod]], a close ally of Arelon. They forced their king, [[Eventeo]], to convert under threat of invasion, and removed the Teod ambassadors in Arelon.{{book ref|elantris|18}} They also threatened to kill Eventeo's daughter, [[Sarene]].
  
   
  +
Though Dereth’s ideas were originally rejected in his native Jindo, they were embraced by the Fjordell. Wyrn Wulfden the First converted, and so, therefore, did most of his people. Since that time, Shu-Dereth has been the official religion of Fjorden, and has spread to all of the eastern nations. Fjorden’s militaristic society stratified and organized Dereth’s teachings into an almost martial level. {{book ref|Elantris|Glossary}}

Their plans fell through when [[Elantris]] was restored, and the Elantrians recovered their power. Following that, the Fjordell were casted out of Areleon, and latter out of Teod.{{book ref|Elantris|62}}{{book ref|Elantris|63}}
