History
The City of Sovereign was placed strategically as a base of operations by Adramelech of the Validian Empire along the eastern shores of the Porthos River preluding the First Great War. It was conquered by Arthur Greyhem and his armies in 4 BCE and developed into one of the first cities in the New World.
In the first year following the end of the war many Validian families settled in Sovereign including the Cortlabars and Faelyns, two Houses of the Inner City of Validus. Upon learning of his son’s death, Arthur Greyhem would travel east to the site of Greyhem, leaving Sovereign to be led by his friends Vandar Rowan and Arman Gill who started the Sovereign Military Academy.
In 872 CE Sovereign was the first to pledge fealty to the Kingdom of Greyhem and King Wilhelm II.
During the Second Great War Sovereign was under the control of the Gauf Warlord, Sammael. under the guise of Lord Albert Brada. Following their liberation by the Children of Light, Sovereign joined with the Kingdom of Greyhem to bring the fight back to the Validian Empire.
