## **History:**

###  Founding of Vachen:

**Brallia** was first settled in the year 1275 when the town of **Skyliss** was formed by several human families. **Skyliss** quickly grew and became a trading outpost as other small villages appeared around it. In the year 1293, one of these villages, **Drayddfall**, became a full town. The two towns prospered until **Archeville** was formed in 1331 and **Witchport** in 1335. In 1336, the country of **Vachen** (which would eventually become **Yallein**) was officially formed under its first King, **Daemus Vachen**.

####  Founding of Drayddfall:

**Drayddfall** was established in 1288 as a ranching village which lived off of the local Drayerds. It quickly expanded due to the many resources gained from Drayerd ranching and soon became a full town in 1293.

###  Worldwide Golden Age:

Through the 2900's-3400's is regarded as a sort of worldwide golden age. There were very few wars, and almost all countries were growing and flourishing. **Drayddfall** experienced massive growth during this period.

###  The Dark War:

**Yallein**'s **Dark War** began in the year 5623 and ended in 5630. Further info not available, as these events have yet to transpire in the book series.
