Kingdom of Toldaria

The Beginnings
In the beginning there was nothing, then there was the gods. The pantheon of gods created the world, the oceans and the stars and they named it Tremons . They populated the world with intelligent creatures such as humans and gave them companions or food such as dogs, horses and cows. But it soon became apparent that the humans alone could not rule themselves and maintain peace and prosperity. When the gods left them to their own devices, without guidance, without their teachings they resorted to fighting and killing each other with very few ever making, creating and improving the world they lived in. So the gods intervened and created a realm of their own. 
Across the continent, and across the archipelago that made up Tremons the pantheon of the gods ruled a vast land. Spreading from Ocean to Ocean, from sea to sea. It was as close to a utopia as possible. Everyone had their needs met, and everyone could live happily. The gods at this time has a physical presence within the world and projected their knowledge and faith through the priests scattered across the world. The people had one faith, one ideology, one nation. For a while that was until Malvar became discontent Malvar, the god of mischief, evil and heretics has always been a outcast of the gods. With few followers and fewer friends he grew lonely. This loneliness turned to sadness, this sadness turned into desperation, this desperation turned to rage. Rage towards the gods, to the gods who had given him such terrible powers, to the fabric of the universe itself. 
But instead of sorting the issues out, he kept it within himself. As the rage grew, more and more towards the nation his brothers and sisters had built he decided to destroy it. If he couldn't be happy everyone had to suffer. It would be Malvar who caused the gods to leave the empire. He would use lies and deceit to convince Avaron the god of prosperity that he was being disenfranchised by the other gods especially Oyeez. His departure would be what began the initial collapse of the holy regime. 
Due to him leaving the economy began to plummet, cities made of silver and gold began to deteriorate and so other gods would begin to lose hope in the dream of creating the perfect civilization. Street fights began to rage on with increasing intensity day by day as the few gods who remained desperately tried to sort out the mess. It would be on the 1st week after Avaron's disappearance that the capital fell into chaos, and fighting from all sides would begin. 
Many of the citizens from the eastern portion of the capital would flee to the Realm of Oyeez (Modern Day Toldaria) and would settle within the city of Molaris and surrounded regions. After the large fight in the capital the rest of the gods would either withdraw and return to the heavens or set up similar settlements around the world. Once Oyeez had gathered his followers in Molaris he would recruit and train the local Edenist Tribe to defend against other barbarians, setting up outposts throughout the border regions. As the remnants of the old empire began to become more and more unstable attacks and raids on Molaris became more and more common.
By the end of the initial conflict Oyeez would rename the local tribe to the Toldaria (Told = Believers, Aria = Of god) and begin diplomacy with ex imperial cities. And as the Toldarian navy sailed the waves they found Oyeez's archipelago. With many of the current gods leaving and returning to the heavens, and the collapse of their project to recreate the heavens on Tremon it would become clear that Malvars influence had become to strong. He had planted lies in the heads of hundreds of kingdoms creating fake religions for giggles and spawning dastardly beasts that roam and pillage the lands. It is said 100 Toldarian cycles the Rapture would occur and the gods of Edenism would come down and bring the followers to the heavens, to live in true peace and bliss without interference. And those who did not would be destroyed along with the world.
Ravenwood - The Royal Family
As Oyeez brought the Vraksian refugees to modern day Toldaria, it became clear quickly that he had to create and make the two peoples integrate and connect with each other. The native Toldarian tribes had at first resented the Vraksians for stealing their resources and bringing attacks upon their villages and the Vraksians saw them as unsophisticated barbarians but Oyeez has a solution.
Being the god of money gave Oyeez many skills, one of which being negotiation. He would convince the head chief of the local Edenist Tribes and one of the last Vraksian princesses to marry and uniting the two peoples under the Ravenwood Dynasty. He create a symbol to represent this union which was a combination of an old Toldarian pagan symbol for Unity and the Golden Star of the Vraksian royal family. 
This would go a long way for the merge of the new Vraks settlers and Toldarians eventually building the political system that the kingdom still has to this day. With the differences once thought as outrageous being slowly resolved as the two cultures began to unite it would set the road for the harmonious Kingdom of Toldaria.
