The Kingdom of Lorent was medieval monarchy in western Cannor and the predecessor to the Kingdoms of Red Lorent and Blue Lorent after the Rose Succession Crisis in 1375. The Kingdom was born through the union of the elf Ioriel and Alten Lorentis, then chieftain of the Lorentii people. It soon became one of the most powerful states in Cannor and one of the that could rival The Empire which was originally the eastern part of Lorentian Empire.

Lorent originated from the Lorentii people of western Cannor which grew to dominance during the time of the Damerian Republic where it served as a foederati, an ally. The Lorentii acted as a buffer state between the more hostile tribes and the Republican Anbennari City States by the Dameshead coast, in thanks, they were rewarded with kingdom status by Jaher during his time as Luminary.

By the time of the late Phoenix Empire the Lorentii tribe had come to dominate all of western Cannor, shortly after the western half of the Phoenix Empire had collapsed into anarchy and dominated by hostile barbarian tribes the Lorentii moved in to subdue to the tribes; in exchange for their loyalty the Phoenix Regent Istrodaniol also gave them the Kingdom of Dameria which soon gave birth to the Lorentian Empire.
