The largest in area of the eight regions of [[Orden]], '''Vasloria''' was a land of rolling, hilly plains once covered with forest primeval. After being conquered by [[Ajax]] the land become divided, dotted with [[Caelian Empire|Caelian]] ruins and mysterious ancient temples.

==History==

Vasloria experienced several waves of settlement. The earliest people were [[human|humans]] called the [[Gol]]. The land was at that time one primeval forest, ruled by the [[elf|elven]] king of the [[Foxglove Court]], [[Máelodor Ryllearnan]], who fought against the invading human Gol. They were hunted by the king, until they summoned the [[demon]] [[Taamgul]], who slew Máelodor and dragged him down into the [[Abyssal Wastes]].~~<ref>''Kingdoms & Warfare'', p.155</ref>~~ The Gol thereafter conquered much of the region, and over time developed a bronze-age society.

The second wave of people to occupy Vasloria were the more advanced [[Tevas]], from the land of [[Phaedros]]. They were led king [[Tristan Vaslor]], who attacked the Gol. The Gol summoned demons yet again, but the king defeated them with the soul-drinking sword [[Maethelgas]], from the [[Temple of Primordial Chaos]]. The Gol were defeated and mixed with the Tevas. Tristan thus conquered Vasloria in his name and ruled for three hundred years, until Maethelgas turned him against his dukes in search of more power. In the civil war that followed, Tristan was killed, but returned in undeath and ruled for 10 more years as the Dead King, until being defeated by [[Adun]] and [[Cavall]], who banished him to the Abyssal Wasteland.<ref>''Kingdoms & Warfare'', p.157–158</~~ref>~~

Little of the early Tevas-Gol civilization remains as they were in turn conquered by the Caelian Empire.

After the [[Fall of the Caelian Empire]] Vasloria was left in ruins devolving into a series of feudal states. At one point a majority of these duchies were united by [[Omund|Good King Omund]] and his [[Dragon Phalanx]] who ruled over a peaceful land for nearly seven decades before he was betrayed by [[Mandrake]] and slain by Ajax in his 75th year.

During Ajax's rule, much of Vasloria became a lawless wilderness; with people sticking to the established and well protected baronies.

==People==

The people of Vasloria valued plain speaking and hard work. The people were called the Tevas-Gol after their common ancestors. The culture was strictly feudal, and most people aspired to follow the Code of Chivalry: Faith, Justice, Loyalty, Defense, Courage, Truth, Generosity, Chastity, Humility, and Perseverance
