When the bright Deity blessed the world with the first sparks of life, that would grow to become the souls of man.
The Great temple of Lannanor was the first temple built in the Capital city of Lannanor, soon after the city's founding. Known for it's ornate and wondrous glass panes portraying a Sunrise from atop the mountains near the eastern borders of Lannanor.
The great fires broke out in 197 AoL, as the citizens of Balios noticed that the homes built mostly of amberwood did not burn as badly, and the families that lived there remained mostly safe even when the structures incorporated different types of wood. Upon further inspection, it was discovered that the wood had special properties, which would absorb some of the heat around it when subjected to fire so that it wouldn't burn as hot.
On the 500th year after the coming of the light, Tildarran merchants making their way to the city of Atilda reported seeing strange man-like creatures lurking by the treelines of the Northern Jungle. An official investigation by the Guardian Knights met a group of disgruntled peasants later reported as a band of thugs and thiefs. When questioned, they claimed innocence and that they were driven from home by a band of monsters, but were caught in their lies when local Atildas peasants confirmed their origin back to a couple small villages nearby to the jungle who remained intact.
The strange rumours prove true. On a cold night of Gureggor a large incursion of strange bestial men emerge from the Northern Jungles, ravaging farms and villages across the hills between the woods and the city of Atilda. Ever since the fall of Lannanor, such incursions have become commonplace, but this one would prove to be different...
The other Kingdoms never expected Atilda to fall to an incursion from the Northern Jungles. The city had easily endured countless attempts in the past, and had proven to be able to whistand for years without assistance if needed. It was only when the scouts reported that there was no longer a siege in sight that the mood in the remaining Kingdoms grew uneasy. While the absence of invaders was a sign to rejoice, the rulers of Atilda remained eerily silent after its enemies disbanded, and not yet a single messenger sent to the city had returned with answers...
The fall of Balios set away any doubts that whatever had come from the jungles deserved proper attention. Unlike had been the case with Atilda or the free cities, the destruction of Balios was a loud and visible affair, the fires of the burned cities could be seen from many miles, and the remaining Kingdoms were unsure if even the Great Capital of Balios still stood. When the hordes of invaders finally began creeping out of the forests towards Tildarra, many of the border lords were already in the process of gathering and readying their troops for battle.
During the Third Incursion into Tildarra, troops from the Kingdom of the Western Princes were sent to aid the Tildarrans in their defense against the barbaric raiders of the East. These were sent by the King's Council after a vote by the Princes decided that it was their duty to defend the Bright Lands agains these invaders before they could overrun Tildarra and encircle their own lands. After two years of intense resistance, the advance had stalemated, and the defenders were beginning to gain ground, when a sudden surge of enemies emerged from the western borders of the forests of Balios. This, combined with clever manouvering of enemy troops already inside of Tildarra meant that their own Kingdom was now facing a two-pronged Incursion, and that their troops would be badly needed back home, if they could make it in time...
When the Capital city of the Western Princes fell, the Kindom fracured and its rulers scattered. Following a series of quick sieges, the invading forces returned to Tildarra to pressure the defenders even further. With the capital city of Tidarra in unprecedented peril, the danger was too great to be ignored, and so all the previously quarreling Dukes would come together once again to fight for ther survival...
After the civil war, the redeemed factions of the Lanian Invasion would settle peacefully with the remaining kingdoms.In exchange for redeption and a new chance to live in the Bright Lands they would swear an oath of loyalty to the King of Gallandria, who they would therefore serve faithfully as guardians forever.
