King: Bjan Hargelsen
The second most populous kingdom of Ivinia, currently ruled by the Dagen of Dagenborg. Ibanvaal may be the most autocratic, and is certainly the most aggressive kingdom in the region. The Dagen tolerates no opposition from tributary clans, maintains a firm hold on revenues gleaned from his domain, particularly the towns of Harling and Pelby, and is presently engaged in a war with the Kingdom of Menglana to the west.
The present war with Menglana is the result of several factors. One is the tacit alliance of Swenway and Jarenmark that has frustrated the Dagen's dreams of southern expansion. The second is the fractious nature of Menglanan politics which has weakened that kingdom. Finally King Hlanakar III of Menglana is elderly and seen as weakening, both from within and without his kingdom. In 808, Osidar led an army through Beneta Pass to attack the Menglanan thran of Froyby. Blocking the river downstream with pilings, he besieged Froyby and was able to fight off frantic Menglanan attempts at relief. Froyby fell in 809. Osidar proceeded to rebuild the keep and man it with a large garrison. With a secure foothold west of the mountains, Osidar is expected to order an attack on Froyaheim in 811 or 812.

History
Ibanvaal was founded in 491 by Harakeldya of Haraksenborg, and soon expanded to include several large settlements at the head of Kolofa Gulf, one of Ivinia's busiest waterways. The Harakeldyas garnered most of their wealth and power from piracy. The Dagens came to power in 649 when Murki Dagen, the jarl of clan Dagen of Bilun, slew King Haaken in personal combat. Since then, the Dagens have ruled their domain with an iron hand, maintaining power largely by the strength of their fortifications and ruthless politics.
