WORLDBUILDING

• Altharis is a medieval fantasy empire made up of seven duchies, once united under a single crown but now fractured by divided loyalties after a brutal civil war.
• Edorn: The capital and royal seat.
• Graycoast: Coastal, trade-dominant, ruled by House Veridain — Damryel’s birthplace.

HISTORY

• King Aldemar IV of House Caelora had one daughter, Rossana. After his first wife’s death, he married Leonia of House Veridain, who had two sons: Valaric and Valtherion. Aldemar adopted them and named Valaric as heir, breaking tradition and sparking conflict.
• After Aldemar’s death, House Veridain crowned Valaric king, denying Rossana’s claim and starting a civil war. Valaric was killed during the siege of Highmoor. Valtherion took command and crushed Caelora at Duskwatch.
• To secure peace, Valtherion chose to marry Rossana, the last Caelora heir, rather than execute her.
• Damryel, a ruthless commander from Graycoast, became Valaric and later Valtherion’s most feared enforcer.
