Pre-Skalnorian History (as retold by MisticCrafter)

 * At first, there were the Fleurists. Generally, they're believed to be a BROthian ethnic group, splitting from the Bardonians. They may have also been born from the native Fauns of Syltör. They built their capital, Kraetalia, on an island on the Bardonian coast, and got to colonizing the various islands. Chief among these settlements was Keshnev and Philsonev. As the First Soleannen Empire rose in the east, the state of Coltmaere fell into decline and shattered into city-states.
 * Seizing the oppertunity, some nobles from the Empire organized "expenditions" to sieze these cities as their personal properties. Kraetalia was able to fend them off, thanks to their close relationship to Bardonia. Philsonev was similarly able to fend them off, but they took such heavy losses that the city was a ghost town within a decade. Keshnev fell completely.
 * Ruins of Keshnev.png group of Niedene nobles who had targeted Kesnev are known to us as the Order of the Ashen Lily. They forced the native Fleurists into serfdom, and began building a castle to work in. These nobles, you see, were looking to dabble in the occult. Something forbidden and shunned by the Eastern Empire. Many of them lived in the town, building themselves opulent white houses. Most, however, spent sunkess days and moonless nights in the castle, seeking to pry knowledge from the world's gaping wounds. And someday, they found something. That night, they contacted a Something. Like fools, they tried bargaining, letting their passion and greed take a hold of them. The being they contacted, however, was not the kind to give. Rather, it took their raw emotions, and used them to step into our world, if only for a moment. And in that brief moment where the Something stepped into our world, a blast of heat erupted. It killed every plant and animal on the island. Even pushed away the iceburgs, making Maereta eternally a savanna rather than being a chilly fjord. Black spikes erupted from The ground, as the Castle, once so dominating, was sucked into the dirt.
 * And so, Keshnev lay empty for many centuries, due to being near-inhospitable.
 * Kraetalia had, in this time, been slowly building back up. Its ruler, sometime after server start, proclaimed himself King of Coltmaere and set to restoring the state's old borders.
 * This was not to last, however. The Kingdom declined heavily after the Trillium War. Only a few months after its end, its colonies were left abandoned and all of its people had left Kraetalia for more prosperous cities like New Dorasterrock.
 * And this is the climate that Mistic I came along.
 * On the orders of the Theiosist Patriarch Hakan (LethalMuffin), Mistic was there to convert the inhabitants to Theiosism, as well as bring them under Théionikos's dominion. Finding the area pleasantly empty, she instead set to building a town. She named the town Maereta, meaning "Town of Coltmaere", as it was the only town on the sea, at the time.
 * While building Maereta, Mistic caught the eye of the Empress Sareariel, and they wed. Sareariel's next child- born to Canadian Tossovich of Ryzan- would be Mistic's Heir, and was named Mistic II.
 * Mistic II went on to become Free Countess of Coltmaere, and then Chief Diplomat and Ningal of Theios-Essukdal. When she moved her court, so came with her the Lhûren and Ryzani servents, who joined the Valdreachan migrants who had followed Mistic I to the island.
