## History

*Main Article: History of House Coldarl*

House Coldarl was founded in 2685 by Emanues Coldarl who became Prince after being elected governor of Ezelphestrius Almondr. He soon after restructured the government after being elected to make him and his family rule the newly found nation. Emaneus was able to get his planet’s moon under his control and later spread his family’s rule out into the system. After claiming the entire system Emaneus made plans to invade nearby systems by first constructing the army. This then gave rise to the Coldarl Military which still fights and protects House Coldarl to this day. However Emaneus would not see his plans in full force as he died of a heart attack in 2700 at the age of 52.

Following Emaneus’ death his son Vikhael I took over as Prince and immediately start the conquest of nearby systems which would last for decades. House Coldarl’s forces managed to capture over a dozen systems within the span of thirty years. House Coldarl would gradually expand over the centuries encompassing over 180 systems and many more much smaller worlds.

The First Mesalathric War started after the Camadir and Taymaris dynasties fell and several nations fought against each other and Coldarl was no exception. It was attacked by House Stralaveim to the north, the Bandit Kingdoms to the west and south and House Ryaksin to the east. Though House Coldarl managed to survive such a brutal war it did lose a system to House Ryaksin and another to a Bandit Kingdom. In the Second Mesalathric War, House Coldarl only played a minor part in the war when House Ryaksin tried to take more systems from House Coldarl but ultimately lost due to superior tactics and planning. In the Third Mesalathric War several Bandit Kingdoms joined together in a confederation and attacked House Coldarl initially losing several worlds to the confederation. However it did not last as the confederation broke and scattered leaving House Coldarl to annihilate the Bandit Kingdom’s Army.

The Fourth Mesalathric War saw the two thrones of House Coldarl and House Stralaveim to become one. This sparked the Fourth Mesalathric War as House Coldarl with the support of House Stralaveim begin to attack House Coldarl’s old enemies including House Ryaksin and the Bandit Kingdoms. In a war that lasted for 27 years House Coldarl ultimately lost the war as the Prince of House Coldarl was killed during the war along with the Lady of House Stralaveim. This culminated in the heir of both House Stralaveim and House Coldarl, Vaultior Stralaveim-Coldarl to become both Prince of House Coldarl and the Lord of House Stralaveim.

This union made Vaultior to become an extremely powerful individual with the command of two Houses.
