HISTORY The people of Belintash boast deep roots in the northern lands of the Emperiat.
Urnst, the largest and most renown city in the province started out as nothing but a simple mining village. However, several generations before the rule of King Anderis, the miners of the village, after many years of fruitless digging, struck gold.
With the passing of time and the help of the mountain in the form of wealth, Urnst grew larger and more populated, attracting men and women who were seeking their fortunes from all over the world. They, in turn, started creating more cities near Urnst and settled down there. In the end, It was declared a Grand Province by one of Anderis's forefathers, who sent one of his most trusted men, Jaggen Farwynd, to rule over it.
Many generations later, the Farwynd Coat of Arms is still found waving proudly over the now heavily fortified walls of Urnst. The great-great-great grandchild of Jaggen, Basil Farwynd now possesses the titles of Viceroy of Belintash and Guardian Protector of the Imperial Mines. In his earlier years, Basil was renown throughout the lands for his strict but fair rule over his lands and his undying loyalty to the Emperiat. Nevertheless, although Time cannot diminish his loyalty, It has weakened him considerably, both in body and spirit.
When he heard of the betrayal that had befallen his friend and king, Anderis, he mourned for many a day. During this time, a letter arrived in his hands that detailed the appointment of the late king's son, Elendin, to the throne. Along with the letter came a King's Order, directly asking from Basil to send an advisor to nurture and teach the young King Elendin in the ways of ruling.
Although his first thought was for himself to go, his weakened self was not all that happy with the proposal. Hence, he decided to send his eldest daughter, Layna, in his place. Although life had not blessed Basil with a strong son, he had dutifully and lovingly raised both of his daughters to have a strong heart and willpower, along with a strong sense of duty. Thus, he knew for a fact that Layna would not fail to meet that task of guiding the young King.
