Lore
"'The great western Kingdom of Rondon. The center of western civilization. It was once formed out of hundreds of small warring nations and tribes to fight under one flag.' - The New Gods when asked about Rondon."A great western kingdom, known to be the center of western civilization. The Knights of the Midnight Sun originate from the Kingdom of Rondon. It is the homeland of Le'garde and D'arce, two Knights that are part of the mercenary band of the Midnight Sun. The kingdom is notable in that it houses the infamous Dungeons of Fear and Hunger, which are used by the Rondonian monarchs and lords as a place to send their convicted criminals to be housed in. However, they have since lost control of the dungeons because of the darkness and the black that exudes from it and that it is uncontrollable and spreads its influence and tendrils to anyone that dare set foot in the dreaded area.

During the late 16th century, the kingdom is suffering from multiple disasters. These include: the disappearance of multiple children, a plague, a famine, a decay into cultural degeneracy and a rise of far-right nationalism.

Buckman, Jeanne, Ser Seymor, Rudimer, Trortur, Ser Seril, and Iron Shakespeare hail from this kingdom.

Rondon is still functioning as a kingdom around 1940; Henryk, one of the contestants from the Termina Festival that takes place during Fear & Hunger: Termina, also hails from this place.

Trivia

 * Based on the name of Rondon and the characters' names that hail from the place, along with the Forgotten One's map of the world, the Kingdom is based on France and England, but seemingly joined together. If that is the case, it is reminiscent of the short lived empire that was the Angevin Empire/Empire Plantagenêt, an Empire that housed most areas of the Kingdom of England and almost all of France under the rule of the Plantagenets, a French dynasty that came to inherit the Kingdom of England from the House of Normandy and the House of Blois that came after the first House and most of France from near autonomous dukes and barons within the Kingdom of France, from either inheritance or conquest through claims and such.
 * Coincidentally, the dungeons of Fear and Hunger resemble the Catacombs of Paris, but Miro Haverinen states this is just mere coincidence and that he didn't think about the catacombs when creating the game.
 * The name Rondon is inspired by the real world city of London.
