The Fight For Olindia: The High Mountains' History
Once this was the seat of power of the King who ruled over all the lands, and was known simply as Olindia. While the king at that time was not cruel, he created many laws to govern the land that others did not agree with, and he requested exorbitant taxes to be paid. When a group of rebels rose up in the south, he sent only a hundred men to handle the 'dispute'. Underestimating the men of the south, only three of his men would return.
In the war that followed, he lost not only his hold on the south, but one of his daughters--given as a peace offering so the south would not keep pushing for more land. Seeing that the king was weak, another man rose up and claimed the East from him. No one dared travel North, for it was frozen and unlivable thanks to the dragons and ice. He was left with the inhospitable north, and his Western Mountains.
While many have tried to claim them over the years, the infamous Western Stronghold has never fallen nor been breached. The current king wishes to regain his lands, and once again unite Olindia under her rightful king.
The Summer Lands grow edgy, after their king was killed by an assassin who claims to be working for someone from the High Mountains. War between the two countries looms, fueled by blood.
