Major Historical Events

The fall of the Galadin Ascendancy and the banishment of Cthylla, Goddess of Balance and Entropy, into the Void.

King Margrave Rolfe of Nordwind and King Tristrum Carne of Suthland both claimed the throne of Nordwind as rightful king. They were, in fact, distant cousins in a royal line that was large and convoluted. King Rolfe gained the newly created (and short lived) throne of Nordwind after a great deal of political maneuvering and, some say, underhanded dealings.   In the end, Queen Adelaide of Hamstede moderated a peace treaty but not before atrocities had been committed on both sides for almost ten years. Suthland captured and took prisoners (many of which were never returned). Nordwind killed all but one member of the royal family of Suthland, a three-year-old old girl, Corra (the niece of the king) and the king himself.   One condition of the treaty was that Nordwind would no longer have a king, but would once again be ruled by a Council of Nine chosen from the nine tribal provinces: Whitespire, North Highlands, South Highlands, Summer Haven Isle, Cobalt Coast, River District, The East Planes, Jute’s Coast, West Valley, The Borderlands.   (Colloquially this war was known as the “Clash of Cocks”)
