Editing Aluvian Lore (section)

== History on Ispar ==
In olden days, the land now known as the High Kingdom of Aluvia was home to feuding clans of warriors.<ref name=ZogblasterAluvInto>1999/11 [[Release]] - [[Zogblaster Archive/Heritage Groups/Aluvian|Zogblaster Archive: Aluvian Introduction]]</ref> When the [[Roulean]]s brought imperial order to most of the lands around the [[Ironsea]], they saw no benefit in conquering the [[Viamontian]] peninsula, and the tribes that would become the nations of [[Viamont]] and Aluvia remained chaotic and disorganized.<ref name=OriginsOfViamont>2004/11 [[The Origins and Current Disposition of Viamont]]</ref>
<br /><br />
During the reign of High King [[Pwyll II]], the Viamontian army, under the command of King [[Elous VI]], invaded Aluvia. Pwyll II led the defending armies of Aluvia, which where defeated in the battle of the [[Plain of Ayrifal]].<ref name=TheReignOfAlfrega>1999/11 [[Release]] - [[The Reign of Alfrega]]</ref><ref name=SQOnAluvianRulers>2002/03 [[Stormwaltz Quotes]] - On Aluvian Rulers</ref> Pwyll II died in the battle, along with his sons and male cousins. The remainder of Pwyll II's bloodline was rounded up and executed by the Viamontian Royal Governor, [[Alfric]] immediately after his victory.<ref name=AlfricsBull>2003/10 [[Reign of Terror]] - [[Alfric's Bull]]</ref>
<br /><br />
During the rule of Queen [[Alfrega]], granddaughter of [[Alfric]] and daughter of [[Theolaud]], the Aluvian resistance against the Viamontian occupation became more organized. An important faction were the [[Orts]] under the leadership of [[Hendac Tharesun]] and [[Harlune]].<ref name=TheReignOfAlfrega/>
<br /><br />
Only during the rule of [[Osric]], peace was established. By the time of the rule of his son [[Pwyll III]], the peoples of Aluvia had united as one, prospering under the High King's kind and just reign. Pwyll III banded together the kingdom's knights, forming an order of honor and chivalry, and so began a golden age.<ref name=TheReignOfAlfrega/><ref name=ZogblasterAluvInto/>
<br /><br />
When [[Pwyll III]] was slain by an ambassador from Viamont on the eve of war between the two nations, Aluvia's knights and commoners alike fell upon their enemies and destroyed them. With Pwyll's death, Aluvia's glory began to wane, but it is said that, when the kingdom is at its greatest need, he and his knights will walk the land once more.<ref name=ZogblasterAluvInto/>
<br /><br />
Aluvia remains a strong nation, though it shines less brightly than before. King [[Cedraic]] opened up trade with nations across the sea including the [[Gharu'ndim]] and the [[Sho]] and with that trade has come prosperity.<ref name=ZogblasterAluvInto/> After years biding their time, the Viamontians under King [[Varicci I]] started a second wave of invasions of the other Isparian countries, also invading Aluvia.<ref name=InvasionOfIspar>2004/10 [[The Invasion of Ispar]]</ref><ref name=OriginsOfViamont/> This time however, the Aluvians, having learned lessons from the past, managed to keep the Viamontians at bay, be it with heavy losses. The Aluvians put up a tenacious resistance against the superior numbers of their old foe. To this day the war in Aluvia continues, locked in a stalemate. <ref>2005/07 [[Throne of Destiny]] - [[Letter From Home (Aluvian)]]</ref><ref name=OriginsOfViamont/>
