User:Necro Shea mo/Kingdom of Shealdor

Beginings of a Kingdom
Shealdor was originally a colony of Ascalon. It was forgotten by the ascalonians because of a humungous landslide, filling in the only pass back&forth. Shealdor took power in the independence group. The group formed in opposing the small, but formiable, Regain-contact Party. Shealdor grabbed political power, declaring (preaching) the Duality Religion. He became king, and his line has since ruled. Kingship is passed down via the second son of the king.

The years leading up to the Ascalonian Searing
Fifty years before the A.S., the Duality Preists took control of the Lower, and most of the Upper, Nobility. Few Nobels spoke out, and the King and his family did nothing to stop this. Only one Preist spoke out against this: San Lucas. San Lucas petitioned the King to use his Religious Rights to disband the Priests; pick and reform the Priesthood. The King ignored him, and allowed a slow corruption to continue. After twenty years, the King died, and his second son, Louis, took over. The Priests took advantage of the transition; destroying the Nobility's hierchy. Within the year, the Priests disbanded the Nobility. Only then did they allow Louis to become the eighteenth of that name. King Louis XVIII became king with great ceremony, if only to disguise A) Louis was a puppet and B) The absence of any nobility with their wealth. The priests brought their newly gained power to bay by inciting a royal grasp for power by getting Louis' older brother, James, to fight with Louis for the throne. At the end of the scuffle, James was king, and Louis was banned from the kingdom, and the priest had James compleatly under their control, unlike Louis. At this time, the priests had all the nobility (even the disbanded ones) executed. The count of years before the searing was exactly 10.

Ten years.
It took only five years to brain wash the majority of the population. It took two more years to kill or imprision 90% of dissenters(some got away). Finally, it took three years to get the economy back to reletive normality, but then it was too late...

Star-fall (The Searing)
Traditionally, the Priests of the Duality were strong users of air magic-Shealdor had the cleanest, most magic impermiated air ever (this is including Rata Sum). When the Searing hit Ascalon, it's range included Shealdor. The crystals hit the globs and shields of magic, all getting deposited over Pablo Square outside the Temple. The Priests and the King fled into the inner sanctum of the Temple, preparing many spells. Mean while, the crystals were gathering into one gigantic golden, molten ball of firey rage.
