History
Early History
The Kingdom of Aldvire started out as the city-state of Aldvire located in the eastern half of Ventosh along the Deep Cleft River. As the population, needs, and influence from the city grew more and more of the out-villages around the region found themselves working to provide for the city, and in return the city built infrustructure across the region such as roads, bridges, and river docks. In time more cities arose from trading posts and growing villages. These new cities accepted the growing sphere of influence from Aldvire and accepted the Aldvire King's rule and by 1090 the Kingdom of Aldvire was founded by King Arthur I.
Sacking of Henslate
In 1155 King Hansen of Fassen had King Arthur II killed by an assassing. The king's daughter, now Queen Olsha Vangian gathered her armies and attacked Fassen and marched up to the city and began a shortlived campaign known as the Sacking of Henslate. Olsha's troops took the city and the castle, and killed the royal family. Olsha killed King Hansen herself by beheading. The result of the conflict was the dissoution of the Kingdom of Fassen, and the incorporation of the now Dukedom of Fassen into the Kingdom of Aldvire.
