THE HIGHHISTORY OFIMPILTUR

by George Krashos

The history of Impiltur and its four great dynasties spans morethan an age. Born in the shadow of the demon-tainted realm of

Narfell, the kingdom owes its roots to the continual humandiaspora that was a feature of the Chondathan race. The melding ofChondathan and Nar cultures that followed secured the solid

foundation that would see our kingdom dominate the EastingReach and nurture the founding of such kingdoms as il!arn,"elprin, #glarond and $amara.

Beset %y a myriad of foes, most nota%ly the dark legacy of &endsleft %ehind after the fall of Narfell, the men and women of Impilturha!e %ra!ed and tamed this land, and in so doing ha!e enduredTalona's dire regard, the depredations of the orcs and the scourgeof the ho%go%lins.

Now with the crowning of a new king, Impiltur must wake from itssomnolence and prepare itself to once again sei(e the mantle ofgreatness that many had considered lost to it fore!er. # golden agelooms on the hori(on, for as surely as the sun rises of a morn, sotoo must Impiltur's glorious history %e made and remade anew as

the seasons turn and heroes stand tall.
