Introduction
Formed after the Épéisteian dynasty’s conquest of the Elven nation of Tovon. This formed the Great Kingdom of Deuxraces, which rules over the two realms of men and elves.
The land of Nanterre was originally a land of divided dukedoms and principalities, which fought for hundreds of years until Armand Épéiste (Épéiste being a nickname, meaning Swordsman. Originated the Épéisteian Dynasty) conquered all of Nanterre. Armand was a devout man who elevated the Church of the Two Divines and its position in the Kingdom. Making sure his Knights and Nobles submitted to its code of Chivalry and abided by religious law.
Following him, his sons and grandsons took to expanding his realm, eventually leading to the reign of Alain d’Nanterre, who, alongside his son Leonard and ten faithful knights, led an invasion of the neighbouring elven lands of the Quimoira dynasty in the enchanted forest of Tovon, a family of High Elves which ruled over a domain of other elves and magical creatures. They were the High Elven Oracle’s stewards and were charged with her protection.
But Alain and Leonard led a large army into Tovon and, with assistance from the Church, utilised their magic and successfully captured the Elven Oracle, forcing their submission. The Elven High King of Tovon, Selanar Quimoira, was then compelled to convert himself and his household to the Church of the Two Divines, and his daughter Rina Quimoira was married off to Leonard d’Alarie so as to secure a political alliance and prevent further violence.
Alain lived for two more years, eventually succumbing to wounds he sustained during the war. Leonard went on to establish a new age of reinforced chivalry. Which prioritised stabilising the realm with the new addition of the Elves and other groups, leading to an age of prosperity for the lords of the newly formed Royaume des Deuxraces. But unchanged, the peasantry still stands as impoverished and downtrodden, with many of them being caught in the crossfire during inter-noble conflicts. And as Leonard began to age and his health deteriorated, the area abiding by Chivalric principles shrank. Much of the Chivalry which used to stand as the law now, only applied in and around the capital of Damecité.
