The '''Kingdom of Sendaria''' was a kingdom west of the [[Algaria]]n plains, south of the [[Cherek]] peninsula, east of the [[Isle of the Winds]], and north of the Duchy of Asturia in the Kingdom of Arendia. It was ruled by [[King Fulrach]] and [[Queen Layla]] during the time of Garion. The first King of Sendaria, King Fundor the Magnificent, was a turnip cultivator, who hated turnips and wanted to replace them with rutabagas, who was elected by his people after a seven year long election. According to [[Polgara the Sorceress (character)|Polgara]], he was an intelligent man who managed to drive off the flattering men who came to him for noble titles by asking them to work and farm. This made "a class of noblemen with something irreplaceable: the sense of responsibilities." Sendaria was, before being an independent kingdom, part of [[Aloria]], then of Arendia (as part of the independant Duchy of Wacune, then another independant duchy: the Duchy of Erat under Polgara), then a Tolnedran Province, before finally becoming a Kingdom.

'''Sendaria''' is the land of the Sendar people in [[David Eddings]] [[fantasy]] book series ''[[The Belgariad]]'' and its sequel ''[[The Malloreon]]''. It was formed in large part from the [[Arendia|Arendish]] [[duchy]] of [[Erat]] as well as parts of [[Wacune]] through the actions of [[Polgara the Sorceress|Polgara]] in order to protect the people from that country's civil war. Sendaria lies south of the Gulf of [[Cherek (country)|Cherek]] and east of [[Riva (country)|Riva]] across the Sea of the Winds. It is bordered on the east by [[Algaria]] and on the south by Arendia.
