-The Three Kingdoms is a [[wp>​confederation]] of three territories created by treaty between the [[creatures:​elf|Elves]] of [[Ellendar]],​ [[people:​Yarrick]] a [[atlas:​Kingdom of Dakar|Dakarian]] high mage, and [[people:​Satrynus Corelius]] the commander of the III [[lore:Silvicola Legion]]. Each of the parties agreed to a division of the lands along the western shore of the [[Caragan Sea]].+The Three Kingdoms is a [[wp>​confederation]] of three territories created by treaty between the [[creatures:​elf|Elves]] of [[Ellendar]],​ [[people:​Yarrick]] a [[atlas:​Kingdom of Dakar|Dakarian]] high mage, and [[people:​Satrynus Corelius]] the commander of the III [[orgs:Silvicola Legion]].

-Each "​kingdom"​ is run independently of the others; although the treaty does stipulate that each must come to the defense of the others against any attack. In practice this alliance has never been tested; although each of the kingdoms has a common enemy in [[Xian]].+Each "​kingdom"​ is run independently of the others; although the treaty does stipulate that each must come to the defense of the others against any attack.

-During the height of the Xianese invasion there was no army strong enough in the [[atlas:​Western Realms]] to stop their advance. The Irillian legions were collapsing or retreating back to their strongpoints ​and the majority of the elven army was deep in Irill. Animostiy between the elves of [[atlas:​Ellendar]] and dwarves of [[atlas:​Stoneheart Hold]] kept dwarven armies from assisting and kept some of the remaining elven warriors on their northern border for several weeks. King [[people:​Reiner I]] of the [[Kingdom of Dakar]] had signed a treaty with Ellendar, but [[people:​Reiner II]] now reigned.+During the height of the Xianese invasion there was no army strong enough in the [[atlas:​Western Realms]] to stop their advance.

 As Ellendar became more desparate William, the leader of the largest independent tribe within Dakar'​s claimed borders, and Yarrick, a Dakarian High Mage, forged an alliance with [[people:​Lillarthi]] the elven warleader along Ellendar'​s northern border. He allowed William and Yarrick'​s combined followers to pass through the borders fo Ellendar, along with as many of his own warriors he could spare. As Ellendar became more desparate William, the leader of the largest independent tribe within Dakar'​s claimed borders, and Yarrick, a Dakarian High Mage, forged an alliance with [[people:​Lillarthi]] the elven warleader along Ellendar'​s northern border.

 This attack turned the tide of the siege in favor of the Irillians, who attacked with renewed strength as the Xian army tried to turn to meet the new threat. The Xianese kuhani sacrificed hundreds of prisoners and opened a portal so that a [[creatures:​Child of Zarn]] could enter this world. This creature turned the battle once again as the Xianese gained heart seeing the power of their god. This attack turned the tide of the siege in favor of the Irillians, who attacked with renewed strength as the Xian army tried to turn to meet the new threat.

-Into this maelstrom charged Yarrick and two [[lore:Maiden Archers]].While they shielded him from the Xianese, Yarrick did battle with this [[creatures:​angel]] of destruction. During the height of his battle he opened a portal to another plane and drove the angel through it. The Maiden Archers tried to reach him, but he pushed them back so that their lives might be spared. As the portal closed both Yarrick and the angel were gone.+Into this maelstrom charged Yarrick and two [[orgs:Maiden Archers]].While they shielded him from the Xianese, Yarrick did battle with this [[creatures:​angel]] of destruction.

 So demoralized was the Xianese army that it immediately routed from the field of battle. Although none of the victors had the strength to pursue them, the two Maiden Archers who shielded Yarrick did capture the kuhani who summoned forth the angel and took him back with them to Ellendar. So demoralized was the Xianese army that it immediately routed from the field of battle.

-It was during the reign of King [[people:​Reiner II]] that the Three Kingdoms was founded. The influence of the [[creatures:​dwarf|dwarves]] of [[atlas:​Stoneheart Hold]] was being felt in the growing power of the [[lore:Temple of Light]]. The temple had just begun declaring the practice of witchcraft and wizardry as heretical to the gods - punishable by osterization. When the King turned his back on the treaty his father signed with the elves, it was the outcasts and answered the elves call and marched south to help fight the [[orgs:xianese_people]].+It was during the reign of King [[people:​Reiner II]] that the Three Kingdoms was founded.

 After this outcast army helped drive back the Xianese, Reiner II claimed the land rights afforded to him under the treaty. The elves, with most of their army locked in battle with the Holy Irillian Empire to the east could do little to stop him. Over the years the animosity between the three parties has not gone away, but neither side wishes to start a war over past grudges. Trade does flow between the Three Kingdoms and Dakar, but the people of these lands still look upon the Dakarians with distrust - and the feeling is mutual. After this outcast army helped drive back the Xianese, Reiner II claimed the land rights afforded to him under the treaty.
