History of Virovene
The history of Virovene begins in the mists of time with the founding of old Virovene by the royal family, De La Fere. Little is known of the early years of this realm, but it is known that it was founded at a similar time to the realms of Old Springdale and the Nifle Kingdom. These realms existed in relative peace, although boarder disputes were inevitable in that early time. Due to its more mild southerly climate, old Virovene was one of the more prosperous lands, with its people enjoying more comfortable living then people in the colder, rainier regions to the north. The people also were the first to begin worshiping the Bloodstars, learning of their effect upon the human condition, and is no coincidence that today’s Virovene’s also worship the same stars, as devote as their ancestors once were. Old Virovene’s Capital was the great city of Muspelheim, with The fortress of Virovene sitting at its heart, next to Niflehold one of the strongest fortress in northern Dwilight The end of old Virovene came with the invasion of the Daimons. These hellish creatures swept across the old realms like a wave of blood, leaving death and destruction in their wake. The Northern kingdoms banded together, with the De Le Fere’s leading to push back the tide. The Final stand took place in the Lost city of Cortanor, with the armies of the three kingdoms standing in final defence of humanity on Dwilight. The battle lasted for three days and nights destroying the city and leaving the armies battered husks. But the free men held, and on the fourth day the Daimon horde was pushed back, and the people were free from terror again. However, the land had been ravaged, and Cortanor had been raised to rubble, now under the land of Croton. Many of the wealthy left these land, dispersing to the four winds on ships, leaving the poor to eak out any living they could.
Many years later, long after the old realms had fallen into decay and there tales of the three kingdoms forgotten, many new nobles returned, along with many descendents of nobles who had left Dwilight long ago, including a descendents of the De Le Fere’s, Cato , who had not forgotten the old tales. Soon whole nations had been founded in the regions long vacant of any human habitation. The most prominent of these new realms was the Empire of Springdale. Based upon the ideals of old Springdale, this new Empire quickly grew into one of the most powerful realms on the continent. In this new realm order, Cato rose to prominence as Duke of Muspelheim, his ascendants old capital. After a series of insults from Springdale’s Emperor Neel led to Cato deciding to resurrect Virovene, dedicating it to the new region of the Bloodstars , Sanguis Astroism. This succession led to a war with Springdale, a war that the fledgling realm would be hard pressed to win, if not for the intervention of another, far more powerful realm, dedicated to the Bloodstars, known as Morek. Although long time allies with Springdale, Morek was willing to break that bond to protect the faith, and the resulting war of independence led to the almost complete destruction of Springdale, and allowed Virovene to gain a place of importance within the politics of eastern Dwilight .
