Early rulers of Aluvia are unknown, put it can be assumed that Pwyll II was not the first king, by the fact that he is the second to bear that name, and by the fact that when Viamont invaded in 804 RC, Thrushhaven was referred to as the traditional highland fortress of the Aluvian Kings<ref name=TheReignOfAlfrega>1999/11 [[Release]] - [[The Reign of Alfrega]]</ref>.

<nowiki>*</nowiki> This event comes from beta information. Being a current event of the time, this would be placed at 1286 RC (10 PY), but the more recent lore from Throne of Destiny has placed the latest war between Viamont and Aluvia at 1272 RC. So it has instead been placed at 1261 RC (-15 PY), the year when Aluvians first came to Dereth. This is possibly Cedraic III.

<br><nowiki>**</nowiki> If the date given is correct, this event has not occurred yet, and will not occur until PY 35 (2024 Earth). It is more likely that, since the years of the Aluvian rulers were written in Beta and the Ages of the Empyreans (from which we derive the PY to RC conversion) were created post-release, that the date is incorrect.

Geography Edit

Aluvia contains forests, plains, rivers, valleys, highlands, and mountains.[2][4][5][6]

  • Celdon lies nestled in the Belshain Valley, straddling the banks of the great Canfeld River.[2]
  • The Canfeld is birthed in the ancient granite of the Luparvium Mountains, which divides the bright fields and verdant woods of Aluvia from the gloomy moors of Milantos. It languidly flows, deep and slow, to the Ironsea.[2]
  • Thrushhaven, the traditional highland fortress of the Aluvian Kings, was deemed too remote for the Viamontian invader Alfric's purposes when Viamont invaded in 804 RC.[2]
  • The Ort castle of Holdfast is located in the Luparvium Mountains.[2]
  • Viamont is to the west of Aluvia.[1]
  • During the Winter solstice, in the northernmost regions, day can last but a few hours. In the northern horizon the annual auroral fires are visible. Mothers tell their children that this light comes from King Borimel's palace in the wastes.[3]
  • The Crimson Stars, or as the Aluvians call them, the Apple-Cart, only rise above the horizon during the summer months.[7]
