Deyja

History

Deyja was formed after the Necromancers were expelled from Bracada and settled in AvLee.
Almost a thousand years later, the Lich King Finneas Vilmar devised a plan to attack the human Kingdom ofErathia. He allied himself with an Erathian general, Lord Haart, and poisoned King Nicolas Gryphonheart in 1164 AS. During the following Restoration Wars, Deyjan Necromancers took opportunity of the chaos that fell upon Erathian lands after the king's death. They resurrected the recently deceased king and made him a commander of undead legions in a fight against his former nation. But he, in an unexpected twist of fate, overthrew King Vilmar and became the new lich king.
They captured the northern borderlands. But some Necromancers, tired of Gryphonheart, defected to Erathia and with the aid of Erathia, Bracada and AvLee armies, drove their former king's armies back to Deyja. King Nicolas, after he avenged his death and killed his murderer, departed to his final rest.
With the final death of Nicolas Gryphonheart and the end of the Restoration Wars, the throne of Deyja was taken by Archibald Ironfist, the former king of Enroth who sought to rebuild his power base and challenge his brother Roland again, as well as Roland's wife Catherine. Archibald first came to Deyja to help it in the war against Erathia, but the war was over before he could contribute anything to it. Archibald was disgusted by the incompetence of his fellow necromancers, and was determined to give them proper training and create research laboratories that would improve the necromancers' capabilities.
Deyja's capitol is The Pit and served as the headquarters for the takeover.
