Aldrova's Rise: A History - Part 1
By Elara Swiftquill, Council of Wizards, Year 1150
Esteemed reader, prepare to be enthralled by the riveting account of our kingdom's rich history—a narrative that some of my distinguished Council colleagues might prefer to consign to the dusty corners of the past. Fear not, for I, Elara Swiftquill, shall illuminate the truth! In this volume, we shall traverse the annals of time to the fall of the once-mighty Keripis Empire and the dramatic episodes that transpired during the Last Great War.
Envision the once-unyielding Keripis Empire teetering on the edge of ruin, beset by corruption and internal discord. Amidst this turmoil, the stage was set for a conflict of epic proportions.
The war raged mercilessly, an unyielding and brutal confrontation that engulfed the realm. Yet, from the depths of despair, a legendary leader arose from obscurity. Known by myriad epithets, the enigmatic Unifier's true identity remains veiled in secrecy even now.
Rumors of divine hidden powers, brandished by the Unifier to vanquish the formidable Keripis Empire, persistently captivate scholars and laypeople alike. Were these powers genuine? Or simply the fabric of fanciful reverie? The debate endures, with my fellow Council members obstinately adhering to their antiquated notions.
Through the Unifier's unparalleled military acumen, astute diplomacy, and indomitable resolve, the Keripis Empire met its ultimate demise, bringing the Last Great War to a close. Thus, the foundation was laid for a new chapter in our illustrious history.
In the subsequent volume, we shall delve into the genesis of the Kingdom of Aldrova and the Unifier's pivotal role in its establishment. Let us revel in the victories and tribulations that sculpted our world and commemorate the enduring legacy, much to the dismay of those who would rather suppress these truths.
