Vallanians

The Vallanians were a matriarchal tribe who lived in the 4th Age of the Sun, one of the main tribes of the Myrgani . They were a female-dominated tribe, and their warrior-women were feared around the Thelysian Sea and beyond. In their capital of Chisana, they enjoyed a decadent and hedonistic lifestyle, supported by the gold and wealth taken in battle. Yet, they were a warrior race, and ever thirsted for the glories of battle.
The Vallanians raided the coastal regions, pillaging and taking land. They conquered many cities around the Sea, most notably Granzelstat. The Vallanian proximity to Mirklin Moor was too much, and the Thelysian Alliance sent petitioners and ambassadors to the Vallanians. The invaders paid no heed, and continued their raids. In addition, they began to amass an army on Saransian Heath. The various leaders of the Thelysian grew afraid, and in desperation sent a group of Elantyian Priests to Chisana. Led by the fabled Cleric Mantyss, they took with them gifts and wealth from throughout the region, to better dissuade the Vallanians from their conquests.
Queen Zsandora II, leader of the Vallanians, had grown tired of the beseeching and begging. In contempt, she slew the priests, and took the gold. This brazen act enraged Elantyus, and he cursed the entire race of Vallanians. They immediately turned to stone, every last one of them, and the Vallanians ceased to exist.
The stone soldiers still stand now on Saresian Heath, thousands of warrior women spread across the heath. The city of Chisana, now occupied by Hengarans, is filled with stone Vallanians, as is Granzelstat and various other coastal cities. In cities around the world, one or two Vallanian 'statues' can be found, and occasionally in the wild. These statues are usually treated with respect, and with superstition- many stories say the statues will come alive again, n a thousand years, or when mistreated, or when the town is threatened. Many statues are well.preserved, and others have fallen into disrepair. Either way, the stark realism of the statues is often unnerving.
The Vallanian Bane, as the curse came to be known, was the catalyst for the demise of the Myrgani. The tribes of the Myrgani were enraged at the treatment of the Vallanians. Even those who disagreed with the Vallanian actions felt honour-bound to seek retribution. The Myrgani united, built a huge fleet, and attacked the Isle of Ellansya. They slew the God Elantyus, and defiled his temple. The War of Retribution began, and the Myrgani were all but wiped-out.
