## History

### Background

During the Late First Century, in 189 CE, a ruthless pirate captain, Captain **Andros Seaborn**, along with his fleet of 20 ships fled a war, only to arrive at the Bay of Sternlands, a land fertile, with springs of gold and conquests. Captain Andros crossed the deadly tide of sea, known for it's shipwreck, connecting two rivers by the sea, and attacked the Southeastern Borders of the land, then regions of the **United Kingdom**.

Pirate King Andros bought the loyalty of the commoners and soldiers of the region with gold and raided many towns along the coastline, where he adopted his new home and built the first stronghold of his conquest, **Fort Saint Darlos**, built on the ruins of **Saint Darlos Citadel**. He recruited a group of town priests who sat in his Council of Conquest and turned the people from **The Old Gods** to the **Faith of the Three**. In 190 CE, by the start of the year, the United Kingdom waged a war with Easternlands' local banners against the pirate king but were defeated badly in the **Battle of Topa**, with a hidden ambush by Captain Andros with 30 ships, a surprising number for the Kingdom. After the Battle of Topa, Pirate King Andros occupied the region, and captured the **Fort of Topa**, which he made his second stronghold. For the next three years, the United Kingdom and Pirate King Andros engaged in the battle known as the **Battle of Sealittle**. After the battle, those who surrendered, joined arms with the pirate king, while the United Kingdom forged a peace pact, or in other words a surrender pact as the pirates called it.

### Kings of Spyre

In the following years, the reign and control of Pirate King Andros fully grown in the region became known as **Spyre**, named after his first love, the strong gal he ever knew. Following which, the kingdom formed an alliance pact with Pirate King Andros, who became the King of Spyre.

After a six-decade reign, the United Kingdom hit a quake in the near the quarter of the second century, in 208 CE, **King Ander II** or also known as Ander the Steadfast or Ander the Young was assassinated. Following his death, the kingdom broke into five smaller kingdoms, the **Kingdom of Vale**, the **Kingdom of the Easternlands**, the **Kingdom of the Westernlands**, the **Kingdom of Greenlands**, and the **Kingdom of the Southern States**, each ruled by a noble house or former royalty. Following the Rise of the Kingdom of Easternlands, King Normund Spyre raised arms alongside the **House of Estonia**. In 209 CE, following the Victory at the **Battle of Stangard** as well as the death in battle and the assassinations of the Royalty of Spyre, the Kingdom of Easternlands raised the Royal House of Spyre diminishing became a Noble House and Vassal of House Spyre, and thus the **House Spyre** of Easternlands was founded in the Summer of 209 CE.

### Rise to Power

Following the **Rise to Power**, Lord Jacob Spyre was appointed **Lord-Protector of the South-East Hills** and **Master of Ships** in the Royal Council of the Easternlands.

Commander of the Southeast Royal Fleet, Lord-Protector of the Southeast Hills, and Head of House Spyre, Lord Andros started the construction of the land, raising up walls bordering the Southeast Hills with other regions in Easternlands and the neighboring Sea Patch, and the Western and Southern Borders, Lord Andros also started the construction of a large castle on the ruins of a previous fort. And by 206 CE, two years after the Rise of House Spyre, **Castle Crakehall** was completed.
