Kingdom of Khaeria

The Forgotten Kingdom of Khaeria.

The Forgotten Kingdom of Khaeria.

## History

The history of the old kingdom Khaeria is one only spoken by the whispers of lost souls, for no living being is alive to tell the tale of the night the kingdom fell, besides one.

The only way to hear of the tragedy that unfell is to learn of the whereabouts of the island the Kingdom of Khaeria's ruins rests upon and call out to one of the lingering spirits. Convincing them to retell their story, you'll eventually begin to piece together the horrific truth of what once was a beautiful kingdom.

The true beginning of the story was unknown, most starting that they had been born under the rule of King Faustus and Queen Caria. All the citizens loved their rulers, as they were benevolent, kind and fair. Many of the original citizens that were chosen to live within the walls showed him affection as he walked through their very streets with his Queen, she of whom would give out gifts to the children every month of toys and books during these walks. King Faustus kept the kingdom in an invisible bubble, his rule remaining unknown to all outside of it as it kept them safe with no conflicts. This all possible with his strength and powerful magic but should anyone wish to leave, the King would erase their memory himself to keep their kingdom safe and allow them to leave, safely.

On the eve of the 31st of Lamashan, the Queen bore the Kingdom's first child but unfortunately passed seconds after the child's birth. Although the kingdom was grateful for the child, the whole city mourned the loss of their Queen for many months and remained unknown as to what horrors were about to be bestowed upon them by the King, himself.

The longer time went on, the more crazed the King fell. Rumors had begun to spread that he was picking chosen citizens to aid him with making the Kingdom a better place for all, which caused several to volunteer their efforts...until they never seemed to come back out of Castle Toska. A group of villagers had gathered to ask the King for safe passage out of the city, but it too, was rumored that they were never seen exiting the castle.

Years past, volunteers stopped offering their aid, which had turn into the King forcefully sending guards and pulling people out of their homes and into the castle. No one was allowed to leave the island or they would be slaughtered like cattle. The Kingdom lived in terror for many years as they were plucked off one by one, their only savior was the Princess on the day her father had gone completely crazed.

Sending his whole army to murder the remaining citizens, sparing none, the Princess found them and tried to release them from their shackles connected to their bodies. For a moment, the souls of Khaeria saw of glimpse of hope of peace and even cheered on the Princess as she took down her own Father, but the moment of glee and relief was far too short as King Faustus' control of them remained, even in death.

While the Kingdom of Khaeria crumbled into ruins around them in the physical world, to this day King Faustus keeps his rule in the spirit world.

Should one head there now in the Material Realm, they would find only rubble of the Kingdom that once was. Should one head there now in the Spirit Realm, they would find that the kingdom had grown in sizable form with spiritual guards at the gates.
