 History 

Origin & The Bardonian Reign

Beginning around February of 2022, The Province of Ardena was born from a union of two towns, Arcem & Ardena. At this time the province was under Bardonian rule, shortly after the establishment of Ardena, Bardonia fell to a coup and left Ardena independent. At this time, Ardena was nothing more than a loose collection of small towns, some active some not.

The Andorn Reign

In March of 2022, Andorn approached Ardena requesting them to join them with consequence of war if they refused. The Province of Ardena joined Andorn. At this time, Ardena was a Monarchy, ruled by Henry der Aeternus alone, with Garnet as a legate. It was at this time as well, that David von Kendal joined the town of Arcem. David quickly found his way as the sole diplomat between Andorn and Ardena. Unexpectedly, Henry der Aeternus was taken as a prisoner of war during the Dena Skirmish. Henry der Aeternus was believed to be dead at this time, returned to Arcem six years later. He had managed to narrowly escape their compound after another nation warred their illegal squatting town. Henry and Garnet were both instated as absolute rulers of Ardena, alongside David von Kendal, forming The Triarchy.

The formation of The Federation of Eskus
