Sorry took me so long to respond, but I only check the forums every month or two.
Yes, Rieleston was the name my character suggested to Duke Arturius, as it was a combination of location of capital (Barad Riel) combined with the name of the former realm, and also expressed what the old farts in our new realm believe to be true - that we are the "Real Eston," living off the legacy (as they remember it...right or wrong) of some long forgotten "ideal" Eston from the past. In game the reasons for the secession are a combination of what has been stated...plus a few more that will be revealed in time.
To the comment about Rieleston possibly being Norland's successor...um no. That realm deserved to die for a reason.
