The main lands that sought out to claim this oasis was Ironwall. Their forces were smaller due to their constant fighting with the Druids that roamed the Colassas Oakvale. The ruler of that time was a Human man by the name of Ashad' Dorimno, Being the first he wielded a large club and rippled with muscles. Many thought to be Kord's direct descendant. During his Rein he forced those who lost in war to build the city it is known to be in the Ages of Heros. Years and years past as the King grew old. Until the first of the Shadowspear lines came to challenge the Barbaric king. This challenger was known as Thenalan Shadowspear. He was strong and fierce in both combat as well as stratagy. Although he was a full elf, he proved his might and leadership as he fell Ashad' Dormno. This was the start of a new Era and legacy that would forever be proven unchallenged to the Family Shadowspear rule. For many years and wars surrounding the Kingdom, Alihana was unchanged for the most part. With the creation of knights within the city and an Arena brought both new challenges and honor by Kord's right.

She died giving birth, and within the grief and loss Davian turned away from his son and looked for his wife. During the years of his rule, he turned from a righteous king, into one that was driven made at the loss of his wife. Though soon he fell for Janstine, making her his new wife and changed to conquer and make his people suffer as he grew in both greed, and the need for power. With a new Sadistic wife who relished in the tormenting of half breeds in secret, even turning to her step son Eliot. She tormented and tortured many in secret, often feeding them to a dragon she obtained with Davians help. A dragon taken from the northern Glades mountain range, now her person pet. Davian himself saught out outside power, diving into the worship of Demons to gain the ability to soon take his city and move to conquer this continent. though before that plan could see Light. A Rebellion appeared in during the 6th Redimere Era. Decades After Eliot had left Alihana to seek out other lands, he returned and created a rebellion using the Knights Captain and people who were misstreated by his fathers Rule. Eliot Shadowspear along with Viresse Corinth of Ambracia took up arms along with the knights and the citizens of alihana to fight back and take the city. After weeks of planning in secret, it took the slaughter of innocents to start the rebellion. After the execution of citizens within the city for speaking out against Davion. After hours and hours of the City going up in flames and blood on the streets, the final battle drew near. The first fight was with Eliots step mother. Fending off the White dragon and nearly taking down Eliot in doing so, The final blow was dealt and struck by Viresse to slay his mother, then help and kill the white Dragon with her own sword. After licking their wounds and gaining aid from the knights after heavy loss. Eliot and Viresse went alone to face his Father. After confronting him and asked to Surrender, He refused and seek the Destruction of Alihana. Summoning the Demon he had been dealing with and merged with him, turning into a corrupted monster, consumed by hate, grief, and greed. Strike after strike, clash after clash. The fight went on for hours. Just as hope seemed lost, the knights who were fighting on the streets below the palace rejoined the two Hero's helping and aiding in the defeat of the demon. Eliot stood before his faster who pleaded for mercy. Without thought, and after a few words spoken to him. "We are a free people." Eliot struck his father down, ending the hatred Cycle. Not wishing to fully lead as the new ruler. He changed the government System and planned for it for weeks to have Alihana be ruled by its people and those who helped retake their city...
