Galinor

### About

Galinor is the only kingdom which lays claim to the continent west of the Riverlands (Samarium). The nation itself used to be called Samarium and had the largest Population out of any Nations existent in Drevhall until recently.

### History

The Beginning of the Samarian Commonwealth (Now Galinor) began way back on another Server and a few Instances happening at that time. The so called young Kingdom of Sethorien was victim to countless Bandit Attacks until one last devastating Attack completely grounded the whole City, leaving only rubble and dead people all over. Everyone left alive were homeless and began travelling away from the destroyed City, until one day the Survivors came across some Ruins of an old Civilization, in which uncovered mysteries were held. In an old underground Laboratory with a Room that looked like it is housing an old portal, the few people left came across some ancient technology, which they used to repair that portal to see where it may take them. After finishing Construction of the portal, they repaired an old control systems, which made use of Runes and the portal came back to life. After stepping through that named portal, they finally arrived in the new World. After stepping out of the Catacombs into the Wilderness, the Settlers began traversing westwards until and untouched Landmass was found. With the discovery of the Continent Samarium, the survivors began setting up a Camp, made Landmarks to claim the area as theirs and began creating agriculture, so they could have a change from only fish. Their first settlement held the name: "Camp Oakwood", because of the surrounding forest on the northeastern Peninsula, where they were located. After stabilizing their Situation by gathering food, ores, enslavement of the local Population near their claimed Area and basic trade with the neighboring Nation of Laputria, things weren't looking so dire anymore... Some time passed by and while doing so, the people of Camp Oakwood have greatly expanded with establishing 2 other Camps, a supply depot and gathering masses of various resources for building and trading. Soon afterwards plans were drawn for the construction of the biggest city ever seen in the new world.

### Samarium Silverbacks

As many outsiders are made to believe, Samarium Silverbacks are a beautiful race of speedy white horses, however there is more to that name. You see, we never came up with the name Samarium for the old nation, or the continent. Instead, it was basically handed to us. The land was named after a set of secret runes found one of the first days we settled here. Runes that spoke of metal-like horns or bones, that can be found deep in the caves - bones that belonged to the Samarium Silverbacks. After that life went on and no one really remembered. But there was one girl that despite being forbidden to do so had to explore the vast cave systems below in search of this, now believed to be made up animal. When she did come across the mythical creature, she was too shocked to respond at first and almost got eaten. Next time she brought a gift which made it so that she was a little less likely to get eaten, but no matter how many pie's most of the creatures remain shy of humans and prefer to stay underground. Nowadays the existence of the creatures is a half-secret, since we are not actively trying to hide it, but most people haven't seen one themselves and like to believe they don't exist.
