Galfrea

The Fallen Kingdom of Galfrea
Far to the south of the Eastern Continent, the city of Galfrea once stood as a beacon of hope to the world. Their king, Gilaine, tempered his stern hand with mercy and generosity, ushering in a time of peace. Many flocked to his banner so his rule could spread, and it did. By the time Gilaine had died in his slee, his kingdom had spread throughout the entirety of the Eastern continent. Following in his footsteps, peace reigned supreme for some 5 generations. Peace is never lasting, however and by the time his great, great grandson, Giwell was announced as King, a beholder by the name of Xhorm took notice of his new neighbors. In an attempt to reclaim the lost dwarf holds of the mountains to the east, Giwell unearthed the lair of Xhorm. Without warning, the beholder killed everyone sent to explore those mountain shafts. Xhorm had declared war on Galfrea. It was to be a short war, for during the first battle with the beast, Xhorm flattened Giwell's armies and laid waste to the city, stealing the crown jewel in the process. With their capital destroyed, their king slain, and the only heir, Giwain, without a way to ascend to king, the kingdom faltered and eventuall fell into several city states about 75 years ago. Xhorm still stalks the ancient holds in the mountains, hiding the crown jewel of Galfrea.
