Chapter 1

At the furthest western reaches, just beyond the explored
world there exists a Kingdom known as Westallia. This
Kingdom has long been home to xenophobic, mountain and
valley dwelling humans. Largely sheltered from the politics
and warfare of the mainlands Westallia became rich through
both the trade of lumber and ore. Splitting it's cultural
catalysts almost equally between miners and lumberjacks.
As Westallia passed through the Ages an organic sort of
nobility began to arise. Four families, two from the high
mountains and two from the deep forests would emerge. Each
taking the prefix of "vas" to their name to denote their
noble standing.

From the mountains came the House of vas Elrick and the
House of vas Kamplin. From the valley came the Houses of
vas Tendall and vas Antian. The above shared the Kingdom
in quarters with each sending representatives to a council.
These representatives would "elect" a King but his title
was largely ceremonial. Nothing moved forward in Westallia
without the council's approval.

This led to underhanded politics that steadily moved the
noble family's bloodline further and further toward red
auras as the Ages went. By the Fifth Age all four clans
were bloodthirsty and vile. Driven only by varying degrees
of greed and a lust for power.
