Truvenscia

==Overview==
Truvenscia was one of the 14 kingdoms of The Continent, located in the south-east. It was most notable for its farming communities and was the largest export of many valuable farming goods. It shared borders with C'thardjia and Velosorn to the south, Chaestlands and Mhordyn to the west, the Capital and Ephellindron to the north and Opialands to the north and east. As of 301 AG, House Hollyard ruled over Truvenscia from their seat at Hollyard Hold.
Truvenscia's origins could be traced back to the catastrophic 1,387 BG eruption of Holly Hill. The ash-laden landscape was later settled by Màaxi cultists, naming the region Ghventùl. Fearing their expansion, the bordering realms of Sorn'yzra and C'thardjia successfully fought to repel the cultists in the War of the Blackened Sky. Eventually, as the landscape recovered, the region was reoccupied by new settlers. A combination of C'thardji, Sorn'yzri and those first displaced by the eruption years ago made the fertile lands their home. Through a mix of mispronunciation and transcription errors the name Ghventùl evolved into Truvenscia. 200 years on from the war, in 1,163 BG, the Kingdom of Truvenscia was officially founded.
During the Unified Retaliation, Truvenscia joined the coalition of kingdoms under Jorjaeryn Grenthyx to repel the Ivar Grexciss invaders. As the war was won, House Hollyard agreed to unify the Continent under House Grenthyx rule, swearing allegiance to the Grenthyx Dynasty. On the onset of the Uprootings, Duke Ryandon Hollyard remained loyal to House Grenthyx, aiding the loyalists in combatting the Fellowship. However, after the deaths of Ryandon and his 3 eldest sons, the young Tommas Hollyard took a neutral stance to the war. This stance would cost him his life and much suffering for his people in the final months of the war. After the Fellowship victory, terrible reparations were forced upon Truvenscia with the only surviving infant ruler of House Hollyard powerless to resist.
