Kalmar Islands
The creation of Kalmar Islands The actually islands that make up Kalmar islands came into being after the great cataclysm on the east island. This is discussed in detail here: Bad Tidings The cataclysm involved various cults, prophets, destruction, civil wars, ill omens, etc. all most mysterious. After such instances, the great mountain on Chaos Island burst forth spewing ash which for days darkened the skies over the whole continent. When thge sun's light began to pierce through and the ash subsided three islands were formed west of the east continent. Soon brave, and adventurous young settlers began homesteads and businesses in their new city Kalmar. Monks from the mainland came to see the enigmatic new temple "Chaos Temple" that appeared on one of the islands. The regions were settled into, and the new land was ripe for conquest. But it was not foreign powers that fought to take the islands. Instead a new realm forged from the peace of long enemies, Old Rancagua and Perdan. Ten nobles from each realm formed a colony in Kalmar city and began to invade the surrounding regions. At this time two events occured. The colony was granted independancy and considered a realm in it's own right and a large amount of nobles flocked to the area. These nobles began a swift conquest of all three volcanic islands. In this they suceeded, but at a cost. Many a man lost his wealth and soldiers. Scarcity of goods for repairs plagued the realm for a short time.
