Caelum

Caelum was a kingdom til it's royal family died and it turned into a jail isle named Damnatorum.

## History

Caelum was founded in --- by a group of people that came from --, they came to the island to be able to study magic without the laws of mainland getting in the way. Before being invaded the island was mainly home to Kobolds and Galiolths but they were displaced after the island was invaded.

The early years of the island had a lot of fighting between the invaders and the locals, including invaders deciding to side with locals and some locals most notably Saint Tox helping the invaders with hopes of making the transition less painful.

After a few generations there wasn't much active combat anymore and there were some trys from the royal family to make those native to the island able to live in the homelands on the island and able to keep their cultures it is commonly believed that without this royal's acts things would have became a lot worse and that they were the one to lay the groundwork of home rights to cobolts and Galiolths.

A few more generations later King Shiva and Queen Imani had plans to make a peace agreement with mainland after they set up the marriage of their son Carlos with the help of his bodyguards, he was set to marry Zran Clawgaze but after a family argument after learning of plans to have his bodyguards go with his parents and tensions related to his in coming marriage Carlos ran away, historians are unable to agree on what happened to him, some think that he died to the elements, some think he was murdered, some think he went into hiding and a few that live on the island have heard tale from a unknown bard that Carlos had been charmed by a demon and taken away by said demon.

What everyone can agree on is after Carlos left the castle was attacked and all but one of the bodyguards died, a lot of workers were able to get out but the royal family was dead and despite the efforts of the bodyguard Xander Prince Carlos was never found. This left the island without a leader which is when - stepped in and took control.

Soon king - turned the island into a jail island, somewhere to send those he wished to have punished but had some belief it'd be better to keep them alive rather than kill them. There was a great deal of outcry from those living on the island, specifically natives whom had no choice in being on the island and whom already had lost control of their home once.

The Island after that has had a long string of puppets rulers whom all have met quick and painful ends and great deals of unrest and sadly there aren't a lot of historical records being kept, the only records being maintained by Dimi Raptis & Whisper.
