Valesden

Valesden as we know it has only existed for a mere 62 years, when king Vales from Eassets annexed Wheaste and renamed the country in order to create cohesion. Although it is now one country there are still some major cultural differences between the eastern and western parts of the country. Which often leads to tension. The most severe punishments in Valesden include death by hanging and lifelong imprisonment.

Recently Valesden has been occupied by gawvanta as part of the third gawvanta invasion. This started in 1541 AGI, and by 1548 AGI all Valesdians had fled the country. The refugees have since regrouped and are trying to gain control of land in the southern parts of Mienstrava.

Folklore
William was no ordinary villager; even as a child he accomplished heroic deeds such as rescuing a lady who was drowning in a lake. One day, while walking home through the forest, a dryad named Evelyn came to him. She revealed to him that he was actually the rightful heir to the crown, and gave him a magic shield that only someone true to the bloodline could use. William then set out on a quest to fulfil his destiny of becoming king. He found twelve men who became his closest knights and overthrew the evil ruler that was on the throne. Afterwards, he ruled justly for the rest of his life.
