Dwilight (a.k.a. West Continent) is the first complete BattleMaster world map created by the player community. It is also the first (and currently only) Serious Medieval Atmosphere game world.
OOC Note: This island is a testing island (as is Beluaterra), so expect to see bugs as new features are tested and improved.

The Springdale Secessions
a.k.a. The War of Secession/Independence
After a long struggle in the Empire of Springdale, the Duke of Muspelheim, Cato De La Fere, seceded the duchy and formed the theocratic realm of Virovene dedicated to the Blood Stars, crowning himself Kaiser. Springdale saw this secession in their own borders as an act of open rebellion, and quickly declared war on the fledgling realm. However, Springdale did not count upon the support of the other realms dedicated to the Blood Stars: Morek and Astrum. Morek promised military support to defend the faith, whilst Astrum still worked for a peaceful solution.
The war become known as the War of Secession among the people of Springdale, whilst the peoples of Virovene and Morek referred to it as the War of Independence. The War of Secession soon became the dominant name.
Soon after the war began Duke Edward Raiva seceded the Duchy of Aegir from Springdale to form the tyranny of the Raivan Empire, with the intent to remain neutral to the Springdale/Virovene conflict. Soon the region of White Plains switched allegiance to Morek, cutting the capital of Springdale off from the rest of the realm. Eventually the Duchy of Springdale itself left the Empire of Springdale, joining the realm of Morek. This mad Morek the largest realm on the continent with 19 regions and 80 nobles. Springdale was left with only one one region: it's capital of Nifelhold.
Bloodstars' Blood Spilt by Brethren
Due to Raivan Empire's agreement to build temples as part of their neutrality, many lords were forced to join the Bloodstars. Imperial Chancellor Edward also seeked expansion and quickly took Freke. This caused outrage by Morek as they had claimed the land. Diplomacy grew tense between the newest superpower and the small Raivan Empire and OrdermarshalMedugnatos Stormcrow and High Inquisitor Anabellium 'Runner' West of Morek put claims upon Aegir and Aegir's Deep. After several skirmishes in Aegir's Deep and military occupation of the region, the Raivan Empire gave in and agreed to give Freke to the papal state that was to be founded upon Moses' Peninsula.
Madinan Tournament
In late January 2009, Sir Sage Meadowcrest, Duke of Madina, Marshal of the Madina Harbor City Guard, announced a swordfighting tournament to be held in Madina. There was a charge of 15 gold for every participant. The winner was rewarded with 500 gold. There was an reward of 200 gold for second place.
However, the tournament, while announced 7 days in advance, was too far away for the northern Dwilight realms to join. One account recorded 8 days of travel from Springdale Duchy.
The tournament completed with Eczka Czek, noble of Madina, winning. Second place went to Baron Sorbad D'Saferate of Laraibina.
Victory For Virovene and the End of an Empire
The War of Secession ended after a long siege by Virovene of Springdale's capital fortress of Nifelhold. The stronghold held out for many months and took a tremendous effort on behalf of Virovene to control the people. Despite Virovene's military superiority, it took many attempts to gain control. The taking of Springdale's final region meant that, after its long history, the first great realm on Dwilight has been lost.
