History:

For hundreds of centuries, the ancestors of the Taigese people roamed the northern frozen lands of the world as nomads, traders, and venturers of the harsh-like climate. While the earth was young and the soil unspoiled, the people had come to settle in the region of "Great Taiga." Surrounded on all fronts by Arctic like mountains and waterways, the merging point of them would come to be known as the Rhine, the artery of all life in the region. Drenched in countless years of war and bloodshed, stood the rise of a new empire.

The unification of the ancient Taigese people led to the rise of the Great Taigese Dynasty, and so it was; the era of light had begun. The people of this dynasty enjoyed great prosperity through the generations, however began straying further and further from the ideals that had once brought them together. It was during the late years of the Dynasty that an unusual period of coldth set in, allowing for the plague to take its toll on the people. Countless years of suffering and death, the soil once again drenched in blood, stood ground for the eventual split into the ancient ways of tribal living. The era of light had ended, spreading despair across the lands. However, the return to ancient tribal ways led to more than had been anticipated. One of which the people would come to suffer greatly under, Valesco. An ambitious clan spent on the subjugation of peaceful peoples. A threat. The Ancient Tribes of Taiga had no choice but to reunite and face the threat face to face, in the name of all Taigese people. The great struggle for independence would continue for 18 months, through relentless guerrilla warfare and continuing into the late years. It was only after the involvement of the Empire of Raven Guard, that the foe of the Taigese lands was cleansed once and for all. After the unification of the Taiga tribes and the creation of Kingston, the surrounding tribes of plains, forests and mountains joined in to create a union; one which would come to be known as the Grand Duchy of Rhine, or Rhineland.

This new unity would serve as a sturdy pillar of liberty and stability under the banner of Raven Guard. To this day, it acts as a protectorate of the north. Our story, had all but just begun. You, have the chance to make the future yours.
