Falador

Ruler:
Queen Syleese III is the current ruler of Falador. She is part of the long-standing Goldenwood Dynasty, the family of Elves that has ruled Falador for over 200 years. Tall and slender, her aura of grace and elegance is unmatched. She wears a delicate gold tiara on her head, and dishes out both justice and compliments with equal poise.

Geography:
It can be easy to get lost in the Majestic Forest (so-called by outsiders), which covers most of the continent. Always known as an exclusive society, the only clear path from the bay leads to Falador Castle. An invading army would be hard pressed to locate their major cities or military outposts until it's too late.



History:
According to legend, Falador is named after the brave Elven leader who sought to end the Mage War. It is said she foresaw the Fracturing in a dream, and warned the foolish mages of their folly. After the war, the majority of the Elves, and others disgusted with the greed and power-grabbing that tore apart the world, retreated to the south-west continent to live in seclusion and peace.

Two hundred years ago, Falador found itself in a short war with the King of Brightforge. His lust for Elvish gold drove him to send a secret mining team across the High Seas to dig on Falador. The ruling Queen led her army to fight the invaders. And although they won, the Queen fell in the battle. Using her wealth, and fanning the flames of the hatred of Dwarves, Syleese Goldenwood was easily crowned the new ruler, and closed her borders to most outsiders.
