Alterian Origin

Alterians have no recorded origin to their name. It is as old and as ancient as their culture itself. They first migrated to Eldham from the far North as a large group of nomads. The first ever recorded sighting of their group was in the old lands of Drak Yamar however they didn't stay there for long once they managed to sail further south. The first few years they settled in the new world were in the city of Frosthaven in the modern day Simulami Empire. During their time there they established an elaborate road system, built churches and holy sites, and even established a set trade system. However, in the later years of their settlement, civil strife and political mistreatment caused the Alterians to revolt and riot in the streets demanding change. When it was refused, they migrated West but were assaulted by waves of bandits which forced them further South. Eventually ending up in East Danubia's coastline.

Government

Throughout the Kingdom's history there has only been one leader, Fire_Lord77. He originally founded the city and lead the people for many years. The official government is a monarchy and has had little civil strife for its entire history due to the trusted Grijer keeping the peace. Even after joining Oceanum the government style stayed the same and continues to be led by the high king.

History

The first established buildings in Altera were built upon a peninsula due to its more defendable position. Following their merging with Oceanum the city was able to expand freely across the river and further inland. This allowed them to support a large population and expand quickly as a city. The population of Altera quickly jumped to 10 strong including a military, workers, and political structure all established within days. However, the city was tested many times and faced many challenges. (9/27/2021 - 10/19/2021)
