==Attius Miriel==

''Reigned from February 12, 1008 to February 17, 1008.''

The modern history of Springdale begins with the election of Attius Miriel as King of the small realm by near unanimous vote by all nobles within the realm at the time. Attius began his reign as a just king that listened, albeit with certain reservation, to the nobles that had elected him.

Under his reign the kingdom of Springdale expanded its borders, acquiring the regions of White Plains, Nifelhold and Yaren. However, the nobles of the realm grew restless, Attius has become more ruthless in his dealings with the nobles.

After sometime of what they believed was oppression, the lords of the Duchy of Springdale, the most powerful nobles of the kingdom at the time delivered an ultimatum to the king. The ultimatum stated the lords and nobles grievances, their reason for writing the letter and the demand that Attius step down from the throne. 

The king refused to step down and began to oppress the nobles even more. This lead to many nobles of the kingdom joining secretive groups that plotted to overthrow the throne. After a short period of time, the different groups rallied behind a man known as Neel Arya. 

On the 15th of February 1008, Neel called for an uprising against the king. Although a few nobles spoke out against the rebellion, none were willing to side with the king against the rebel forces in open combat. As such, the battle that decided the fate of the new kingdom were very one sided, as hundreds of rebel soldiers attacked the personal guard of Attius.

Three days after the call for open rebellion, Neel Arya was crowned the new King of Springdale.
