Velharion flourished under the reign of King Velhar the Radiant.
Castles and mighty fortresses rose across the land, borders were strengthened, and the people lived in peace and prosperity, free from fear and hardship.
The North and South existed in harmony. The southern lands respected the Crown and its decisions, while the Crown, in return, invested heavily in the region, raising magnificent structures, grand cathedrals, and military fortifications to protect its people.
Trade flourished, ancient crafts thrived, and villages grew into prosperous towns. Life in Velharion had become something out of a fairy tale.
For generations, the kingdom enjoyed an age of peace and abundance unlike anything its people had known before.
But then, without warning, everything changed.
The King was dead.
After 505 years of rule, King Velhar the Radiant, the founding father of the new kingdom, had passed away peacefully in his sleep.
Throughout his long life, the King had devoted himself to studying and harnessing the magical forces of Velharion. It was this very magic that had allowed him to live and reign for far longer than any ordinary human.
His death sent shockwaves throughout the kingdom, leaving its people mourning the loss of the man who had shaped their world.
Yet, despite the sorrow, there seemed to be little reason to fear for the future.
The laws of the kingdom were firmly established. Crystal Lake Castle had grown into a magnificent and highly advanced capital. Trade routes connected distant settlements, craftsmanship flourished, and the foundations of the kingdom appeared stronger than ever.
Velharion was no longer a wild and untamed land. It had become a powerful, prosperous realm, capable of standing on its own even without the King who had built it.
Or so everyone believed.
With the passing of Velhar the Radiant, the throne fell to his only son, Eryndor.
A new king. A new reign.
Few could have imagined just how deeply his rule would change the fate of Velharion.
For the death of King Velhar was not merely the end of a great ruler’s life.
It was the end of an era.
And under Eryndor’s reign, one chapter of Velharion’s history would close forever…
While another, entirely different one, was about to begin.
