Brief History

Hallangd has no history, for it is a lawless, wild land that has been squeezed between the ever-growing civilised nations of Atern. Wars and tribal infighting have always been common in Hallangd, though occasionally a unifying force in the shape of a great leader has emerged. The greatest of these was the Sun giant Warchief Mal-Voi whom controls a large portion of the east of the country who secured an alliance between the giant tribes in order to fight the Oppressors.

After several successful victories against the forces of the Oppressors and some of his band spilt off and sacked several towns in Caraselle and Kel Kazardad, including the sacking of the town of Rockfist, which was then torched and razed to the ground. These actions broke the faith of other countries in Mal-Voi's leadership and diplomacy as a result broke down.
