History
Wintervale was founded in 121 pw. After The Dragon Wars Anyrion gained control of many of the non eleven or dwarven nations as it was lead by the lead general of the Valerian continent's armies. However several smaller generals took up shop and created their own kingdoms in the area now know as Wintervale. These kingdoms frequently fought among one another while Anyrion and Vala fought in the west. In 93 PW the people of Anyrion were tired of war but they easily could have preyed upon the weak kingdoms of this area if their people would have supported another war. In the year 101 PW a Halfling woman named Erala began a two decade long campaign to unite the kingdoms and she formed the nation of Wintervale in 121 PW. She installed a matriarchy in Wintervale. Where the eldest female child born to her would take over the throne. She was known as Erala the Uniter. She was a beloved Sovereign Ruler of Wintervale. Her and her daughter Sovereign Ayala the kind were likewise loved by their people. Ayala's daughter Kelri however was a greedy ruler. She overspent her kingdom's little wealth and a southern man named Runed Hunam started a campaign against Kelri When Runed successfully killed Kelri, but then died of seemingly natural causes dozens of local leaders took control and began to fight for dominance over the region 250 PW. In 300 PW Illiria tried to move onto the Valarian continent by taking Wintervale who was an easy capture as it was plagued by civil wars. Valaria stood against this and helped Wintervale get it’s freedom again with troops and commanders for their armies. They also formed the Valerian Concord in 305 Pw which Mellum, Metldum, Wintervale, and surprisingly the failing Anyrion signed. This concord convinced Illiria to leave Wintervale and retreat to their continent. One of the leaders named for Ayala, the kind trained by a cleric from Valeria as a paladin took Main stage as a leader for Wintervale after the invasion. However after Ayala the second died the separate city states remained in a perpetual state of battle amongst each other for dominance until present time.
