The Kingdom of Okkrgoth Established

Founding

Björn's Vingegard clan ruled for 182 years before Khagra's suicide in 215 YGP. After their dynasty's collapse, the crown's steward, Toliard the Wise, hosted a tourney. The winner of this competition would be crowned king and his issue would inherit all the rights, titles, and lands associated with it. Gaufrid II (born Kepis of Gromkirkke) bested all the other contestants in a series of competitions that came to be known as the Tournament of Kings. He and his kin, known as the Whiteblood Clan, ruled from Gromkirkke until 374 YGP. After Björn Whiteblood's death at the start of a brutal civil war, Okkrgoth was ruled by a series of mercenary kings in a period known as the Bloodletting. Each king attempted to recreate Gaufrid II's legitimacy, but each failed. The vacuum of power created by the civil war ultimately paved the way for Goddard der Große's entrance.
