Caledonia

Caledonia is a collection of small cities, strongholds and provinces  ruled by King David.

History
Caledonia was created when Lord Bennett gathered allies and rebelled against King Nathan of Krevia. The war between Krevia and the rebels lasted for years, and eventually the Krevian kingdom split into Caledonia, ruled by King Bennett and Alesha, ruled by King Nathan.

After King Bennett’s 20 year reign, he passed, leaving his kingdom to his son, William. After William assumed the throne the fledgeling kingdom was under attack from within. The lords of Caledonia began to vie for more power, plotting against their king and each other. To combat this, William united his Lords in a war with the native Dwarves of Gredora. The might of a united Caledonia descended upon the disorganized dwarven tribes of Gredora, slaughtering them. The farms and mines of the conquered continent provided the Kingdom with massive amounts of income. The lords turned their schemes from trying to claim the crown of Caledonia to claiming the new lands of Gredora.

After the death of king Williams, the golden age of Caledonia ended. The remaining dwarven tribes united and drove the Caledonians in Gredora back past Giant’s Wall. With the loss of so much land, the lords began to move back from it to the mainland. Eventually, only a few settlements remained in Gredora. Those who remained were forced to hire mercenary guards to protect their income from the now common bandits. Back on the mainland, the battle for the crown reignited.

The crown changed hands many times over the years since. It now sits in the hands of King David.
