The city of Blackthorn was founded in 254 BCW by [[King Hadas I]]. Its first walls were built in 156 BCW out of wood and later replaced with stone in 103 BCW. The castle was constructed in 249 BCW to accomodate King Hadas I and his family.
 
Line 13:
After the exiling of Lord Gem Valtara, the city's former leader, an Interim Council was set up to take his place. The council would later renounce all loyalty to the Valtaran monarchy.
 
Following defeat against Zydel, the people of the Ceyretan cities of Blackthorn and Tìrean Ùra migrated eastwards to escape the wrath of their new Zydel occupiers. This led them to settling their current location by the Silver Lake. Shortly after arrival, the people of Zethortal and [[Taobh Locha]] (made up of former Tìrean Ùra citizens) would officially unify into the Commonwealth, later admitting the towns of Fort Khirom, Faewood, and Vadimsky into the union.
== Geography ==
The Commonwealth is entirely situated within the Blackthorn peninsula on the island of Valtara. The entirety of the Commonwealth sits within wooded areas, with a taiga forest in the south and a redwood forest in the north.
 
In 6 AC, every town in the Commonwealth except Zethortal briefly seceded, joining onto the short-lived Rauthwald Empire, formed from the Kingdom of Guldhir. Once the Rauthwald Empire collapsed, however, the many towns would either collapse or rejoin the Commonwealth.

Following the shattering, the Commonwealth would experience a period of unprescedented growth, growing from just Zethortal in 6 AC to controlling nearly 2/3 of the continent of Ceyreto by the end of 8 AC.
