History

Revendell is one of the older kingdoms in Tyrania. The kingdom was founded during the middle of the second age after the Whitehall Keep of Revendell was completed. The kingdom would rival Evlora, but never in a physical way like war but in a proudness and economical way. The Kingdoms held their distance but also traded to help each other grow. The first King of Revendell was Roscoe Whitehall of Whitehall Keep. His family would continue to reign unchallenged and undisturbed until the present day making them the longest reigning royal family in the world.   As revendell grew and their kingdom expanded during the second and third ages a number of smaller settlements would join them or be made because of Revendell. The Forest village of Arnhelm would join the Kingdom of Revendell during the third age as well and the city of Fangorn would be forcefully taken by Revendell adding their at the time small city to their own Kingdom.   During the new calamity, Revendell would surrender to Yeenagu to preserve their history, people and city. The Royal family of Whitehall would evacuate the city to Arnhelm to hide while the demons wandered the continent. This act of cowardice would be looked down upon after the calamity when the family returned back to their city. They would be accepted as the rulers, but in the meantime of their absence, the new Trugarian Empire had grown out of Fangorn and demanded their obedience and allegiance. They would be allowed to keep their royal family as rulers but they needed to swear loyalty to the emperor at every new generation of kings or queens.   During the 4th age, Revendell would rebuild their lost buildings and fix their keep. They would also expand their city as many refugees came to their doors step. Revendell also had to remove their temples devoted to their old gods and accept the new gods of the empire. There was one exception to this rule however, they were allowed to keep their cathedral to Pelor and keep worshipping him but only the people of Revendell. The empire sees Pelor as an aspect of Amaunator. This meant a lot to the people and royal family of Revendell since it was their main god and the god of the royal family.
