The Founding Heroes - Guardians of Rend:
The story of the Republic begins with the legendary Guardians of Rend, a group of heroes whose valor saved the continent from the nefarious Drugar Nil and the relentless undead horde known as The Forgotten. Their names are etched into history as symbols of hope and valor.
The Birth of Gravesford:
The Republic of Rend traces its origins to the humble town of Gravesford, which grew around the fortified Castle Rend. This castle served as the last stronghold against the invading forces of darkness during the cataclysmic battle against the Draco Lich and The Forgotten. The courage displayed in the defense of Castle Rend became the foundation upon which the nation was built.
Unity and Expansion:
As Castle Rend's influence expanded, other nearby cities and towns recognized the strength of unity and rallied around the burgeoning city of Gravesford. The spirit of cooperation and shared purpose led to the formation of the Republic of Rend, a union of free cities committed to the principles of liberty and self-governance.
The Republic's Values:
Freedom and independence are the cornerstones of the Republic's identity. Its citizens prize individual liberties and the ability to govern their own affairs. The nation's governance is characterized by democratic principles, with elected representatives from each city convening to make decisions that affect the entire Republic.
