Chapter 1

In the furthest reaches of the northern mountains there exists
the Kingdom of Nol'Burim. Nol'Burim began as a small human
settlement of miners and prospectors and quickly became a
popular destination because of it's rich, sheltered valleys
and it's untouched minerals. Early prospectors made note that
the rocks of Mount Nol'Burim were so thick that they would
often break picks and chisels.

As they dug deeper they found something else of value. Nol'Burim
was home to the only connection to the Underdark for many days
travel. While these trade routes were immensely valuable it also
opened the fledgling Kingdom to numerous security issues. As the
Underdark is full of dangers, raiders and vile creatures.

To address this concern a young man named Valeckis val Aurius created
a militia of paid soldiers who began to escort miners and guard
the fruits of their labour. Valeckis soon established a name
for himself, nicknamed "The Eagle" for his amazing vision and
swiftness with his initial strikes.

Soon Valeckis established other businesses. A bank, a trading
out post, general stores. He quickly became the richest man in
the region. A peasant who had become a King by pure ambition and
wealth which he used to construct a massive gate over the entrance
to the Underdark tunnel.

The people loved him. He had transformed a rough settlement to a
flourishing Kingdom in a mere decade. His crown was forged of the
numerous gemstones of the mountain and the crest of his House was
an eagle with outstretched wings, grasping a diamond in one talon
and a sword in the other. Beneath the sigil are the words:
GUARDIANS OF THE GATE. An eternal reminder if his House's place as
Wardens and protectors of Nol'Burim.
