The City of Altenheim is formed
A nobleman named Elias Beralt led his family and followers through the treacherous passes of the Grey Spine, emerging on the other side to find a country lush with pine woods and rolling hills. He named it Ostoya, which in the ancient tongue means “Our Own.”
After spending two hundred years taming its borders, the Bürach Empire turned its attention towards expansion. Since the Ostoyans were descended from the Bürach, the Empire deemed them its citizens, ordering them to pay taxes and turn over control of their mines. When the Ostoyans refused, the Bürach attacked.
An earthquake shook Ostoya and cracked the ground, resulting in a horde of undead and the disappearance of the sun.
In the winter of the war’s 25th year, the Bürach abandoned their forts in Ostoyan territory and retreated to their homeland.
