Estreoth/Ancient Kingdom

Two millennia before the present day, all of Estreoth was unified under one government. The Kingdom of Estreoth, as it is called in modern terms, was the precursor to the modern society in place today. Many of their ruins still exist, the most prominent of which being the city of Hetrea in addition to numerous ruins on islands in the Ginryu sea. Additionally, the southern Barafet and some of the remote regions of both the Stohrym and Vehra regions have several ruins scattered around the landscape. Of these ruins, Hetrea is the in the best condition due to being restored several centuries ago and maintained every since. The empire was said to have been destroyed two thousand years ago in a cataclysmic event. Several theories are popular. One theory is the demons of Infernus overran the entire continent. However, there is considered unlikely due to the continuation of humanity. Another popular theory is the kingdom was destroyed by a single creature. Scholars of this theory point to the strange mountain pass located near Tarcova as evidence of some cataclysmic battle. Of course the final theory states internal trouble eventually brought the empire to an end.
