==History==
The smallest of five kingdoms in the pendragondom of [[Seldenbaal]], centered on Endelby. The settlements of this kingdom paid individual tribute to the [[Rogna|King of Rogna]] until 682AP. In that year clan Gelem of Endelby united them into a kingdom and transferred loyalty to the pendragondom of [[Seldenbaal]] to avoid excessive demands for tribute from Rogna. The recently assassinated King Bulan, was loyal to the Hergelsen of Suteling, pendragon of Suldenbaal, supporting him in him disputed election to the throne in 716AP. There is also an ongoing vendetta between the Erlands of Helgeby and the Ralds of Luthby from Menglana. For all these reasons, Geldemaar is a focus of intrigue between Gilvenmark, Menglana and Rogna.

:Government: King Gelemaar/Clan Council
:Population: 6,700

Endelby is the seat of the ruling clan Gelem, King of Gelemaar, who pays tribute to the Hargelsen of Suteling, High King of Swenway. The thran has recently erected a heavy stone wall in only two months, with the assistance of a clan of stone Giants under the banner Tarin and are said to be related to clan Zwaigel. Endelby receives tribute from Helgeby, Ibesleg, and Nejusi. The Gelem supported the Hargelsen in his disputed election as High King in 807, earning the enmity of the neighbouring king of Gilbenmark who sought the honour for himself.

She is said to be short (under 12 foot) and an adept of either Weather, Ice or a Wiccan mystical magics. More than two thousand human Ivinian's live at or close by the Thran. Rumour has it they have paid tribute to the Gelem of Endelby, king of Gelemaar in gems for over a dozen consecutive years.
