The predecessor provine and town, Halond, was founded by the nobles Ivan Ivanys and Murad Demus. After their eventual abdication the rulership of the town and region was given to Avitus Obseken. Avitus would eventually abdicate due to old age and be replaced by Koala Apisamus.

Geography
There are 3 major settlements in Greater Halond; The namesake city and regional capital Halond, being made up of the former cities Domia(also known as Hayat) and Nelond, the swampy town of Elesgate, and the once beautiful but now abondand garden city of Markaialon. The region around Halond city is dominated by woods and shires, in the north it gives place for a wild flat landscape, between sparse trees like mangroves are giant chunks of moss and small bushes. The further north one goes from here the swampier it gets, til behind Elesgate it eventually becomes a full on swamp without much trees. This mossy swamp region is known as Mossland and the Elesgate swamps respectively.

In the east the regions border is marked by the river Kaerys, flowing from the great helmian lakes through the Midlands, in the south the Helmepion mountains and the vhagaryon woods. East of the river Undai lays the historical region of Ataraxia. There, nesseled between the White woods in the south and the Bekiw mountains in the north, lies the Ataraxia valley, in which the city of Ataraxia was constructed. Further east only lies an unnamed plateau, and then opening to the Silver isthmus bordering Alamayn.
