The Boabaid family settled in what's now Byen Engler in the year 0 of the second age of the human's calendar. Julia Boabaid was an experienced adventurer and Third Queen of Rockvar. After losing her life and returning to life while fighting the Mad Dragon, she decided to retire from her adventurer carreer and invested hard in creating a city where all of her family and friends could live in. She died in her bed nine years after Byen Engler's creation, with a smile in her face. The humans are so arrogant and self-centered that on the year 84 they adopted a new calendar, with Byen Engler's foundation on the start. This calendar is used in both the humans kingdoms, aswell as in Bridgelum.
History of Rockvar and Byen Engler
Rockvar is a human kingdom based on the Adwana continent. It's capital is Byen Engler, a very rich merchant city located in the middle of the realm. Bridgelum, the halflings' kingdom, is to the south and Mahakam, the ice dwarves' kingdom is to the north. Most of Rockvar is covered with a vast grassland filled with living creatures, merchant trails and hidden secrets. The beast hunters clan, the Gensinh family, and the nobles Boabaids are the two main houses on this realm. Rockvar doesn't have a king, but six democraticaly chosen regents instead. They rule the kingdom in the Regent's Castle, located in the north part of Byen Engler

He constructed a new and bigger headquarters for the Order of the Eagle and surrounded the city with a six meters tall wall.To do this great endeavour, a powerful and lasting bond was finally forged between the mahakian dwarves in the north and Rockvar. Byen Engler needed stone and workers to construct the wall and HQ, while Mahakam needed food and medicine, for a strong peste had taken over the dwarven kingdom. Because of that, both kingdoms are brother in arms and business till this day. -

Construction of the Regent's Castle and Ravinus Temple
Construction beginning/endWhen the first six regents were chosen after the revolution, a castle was build in Byen Engler to accomodate the regents and serve all their needs. The bond between Mahakam and Rockvar was still strong, so after the regents hired the dwarvers for this magnifecent construction once again, Garard, the then queen of Mahakam, presented the city with another construction, free of charge: a temple of Ravinus.
