History of Arangoth
Arangoth has a long and colorful history. The Kingdom of Arangoth was first founded nearly five centuries before the present, but a terrible civil war half a century ago led to the collapse of the Old Kingdom and the flight of the royal family. Alysia "AngelSin" returned from exile over a decade ago and was proclaimed queen, but gave up her throne only a few years later. Prince Arlok ul-Dorn, the heir to the throne at the time of the royal family's flight, recently awoke from a long enchanted sleep and was proclaimed King in Northern Arangoth, then later King of All Arangoth after he reconciled with the Regency Council.
Arangothians are ethnically a mixture of the native Goxal and the invading Igmerind people, founders of several sitharangel or grand duchies a few hundred years ago. In the year 1, the Sithire or Grand Duke of Northern Arangoth founded the city of Tagrana, which is considered to mark the founding of the Kingdom of Arangoth. Tagran, the first king, was originally considered only the first among equals. However, about the year 130, a conflict among the lesser sithirel led to the extinction of the major families, and the King became yet more powerful by virtue of his ability to appoint provincial leaders. Around 300, when Arangoth was embroiled in a war with the Assi, the Order of the Beady Eye offered its services to the monarchy, assured Arangothian victories there and elsewhere, and became increasingly powerful on the frontiers of the Kingdom.
