Early years.
The early days of the Kingdom of Vangash were filled with prosperity and harmony. The land was blessed by the elves, and the people of Vangash lived in harmony with nature, relying on farming and hunting to sustain themselves. Despite their expensive tastes, the people of Vangash were a peaceful and progressive society, thanks in part to the guidance of their founders, Vangasha and the three gods: Na'tari, Farni, and Ha'jixx. Together, they worked to build a thriving community that would thrive for generations to come.Middle Ages.
The middle ages in Vangash were a time of great turmoil, as the kingdom was constantly under threat from the Crude hoards, a fierce and numerous group of monsters hailing from the Crugarren mountains. These hoards, mostly consisting of bugbears and goblins, were a constant threat to Vangash and its people, and the kingdom was forced to fight for its survival in numerous battles and wars. In order to defend themselves, the people of Vangash studied and employed magic against their enemies, and by the end of the middle ages, their military and magical capabilities had been honed into an unstoppable force that finally succeeded in pushing the Crude hoards back to the Crugarren Mountains During this time, the northern regions of Vangash were also affected by a sudden and inexplicable shift in the weather, as the once warm and welcoming climate began to give way to a bitter frost. This unprecedented cold settled over the capital city, enveloping it in a perpetual winter that has confounded scholars and scientists to this day. Despite their efforts to understand and reverse this strange phenomenon, the cause of the unending winter remains a mystery.Modern Time.
