Alranle has their origins in a series of sizable towns once part of a mining operation by Eldask to mine the skymetals in the Attiam Gulf, the province now known as Ariussealo. A few generations after the fall of the dwarven empires the people of Ariussealo, like the people of many other places, banded together. Their queen, Caerthynna Alrantora (1e4 - 68e4) known as Attiam's Crown, led them in conquest. The remnants of dwarven smithing knowledge and the deposits of skymetals gave them a huge military advantage, bringing unnaturally light greatswords and nigh impenetrable plate armour to a world of warfare mostly involving simple padded gambesons and crude spears. This was followed by several hundreds of years of near constant conquest and warfare, eventually even expanding into the eastern continent Valtio. Warfare is still a constant in Alranle to this day, noble children get taught fighting from a young age and the fantastical arms and armour have had a permanent effect on fashion and culture. Paradoxically it was this state, turning from expansionist warfare to a defensive foreign policy under the rule of Sidhhael Alrantora, the Maker of Peace, (632 - 679 E4) that offered enough stability for the Way of Darton to rise, bringing the end of the Era of constant warfare all over the globe and ushering in the fifth age, the age of stability.
