    Landing in Syntheia
    Discovery, Exploration

    Explorers from the north(insert kingdom here) land in the northwest bay of Syntheia, creating a settlement that would become modern day Yeven. These explorers would come to name this newfound land Syntheia, the island under the stars. The infant city of Yeven would begin to see an influx of immigrants from other nations and the population grew from a modest several dozen to a robust several hundred.

    The Exploration of Syntheia
    Discovery, Exploration

    Men and women from far and wide flooded into the port of Yeven hoping to get their piece of the Island of Syntheia. From the city of Yeven, bands of explorers trekked out into the wilds, charting out island down to every forest and river. Parties moved to the south, to the east, and to the north, discovered new wonders in the land of Syntheia seemingly every other day. One such band reached the Inlustris Mountain Ranges, leading to a discovery that would change the course of Syntheian history forever.

    The Starlight Conquest
    Military action

    What once sat as a shattered state, bound in years of endless battle became a prosperous island nation led by the esteemed High King. The first High King was Fevius Helios, the Starlit Conqueror who united the princedoms through years of conquest. His campaign started in the east nearby to his own princedom. His troops fought with a fury never before seen in previous wars. Shielded by his Astral Shard enhanced armor and armed with his blade, 'Starfall,' Fevius was an unmatchable force on the battlefield. He waged war beneath the cover of night under the open sky allowing his shards to be clear to see for all on the battlefield. The wars waged became known as the Starlight Conquest and they would unite the Isle of Syntheia for the first time in it's history.
