History
During the time of Medeus's rampage over Archanea, many heroes arose to save their people from extinction. Archanea had Duke Cartas leading the liberation army, Macedon had Iote rebelling against the dragon slave masters. On the western island of Grust, a hard boiled knight named Ordwin raised his own army against Medeus, and their string of victories gave rise to the finest knights ever known. After Medeus was defeated, the people of Grust rallied behind Ordwin, and founded the Kingdom of Grust; a fully independent nation from Archanean influence.
