=== Aldland ===
The Vanadians originateoriginated from a continent they know as Aldland, itwhich is believed to be themodern northKuthara. east most continent howeverHowever, due to the Vanadian's history mostly being comprised of folklore, it is unknown for certain where they originate from. The original culture on Aldland arewere known to the Vanadians as Aldlanders and are the progenitors of many other cultures around Alathra. It is said the Aldlanders came over from the ice fields aswhen they started to melt at the end of the ice age.
 
=== Maetalamh ===
Sometime aroundin thetheir year 344 AChistory, many groups of Aldlanders were forced to leave the continent due to a Tyrannicaltyrannical ruler known as Đuribhinn who had taken over all of Aldland. Many groups fled and formed many different cultures, one of these groups was what became the Vanadians. They were led by a great warrior who was thought to be a demi-god known as Dearac Ehl. He and his followers founded the city of Elvmhor Anbhajn in the continent of Maetalamh ([[Adelaar to non Vanadians)]].
 
The Vanadians stayed on Maetalamh for justa overconsiderable 500amount yearsof time, but left and migratedreturned to the north east in CeyretoKuthara after the disappearance and collapse of the Rhumish realm. Whilst theya werepart inof Rhumlaantd, they were one of the key principalities, with the Vanadians keeping a close relationship with the region of Aakhan.
 
=== CeyretoKuthara ===
After the collapse of Rhumlaantd, Jarl Sigeric Ehlsonn lead his people to the north eastern continent of CeyretoKuthara. They landed in north of [[Kalikhan]], then a small settlement, and south of Wrensbath,. theThe moment they arrived, the Vanadians built a tall stave church and constructed their town around it. It is said that a druid blessed the ground and a tree grew in it's place, the tree grewgrowing fast, and by the end of the week it towered over many of the houses. The Jarl, Sigeric Ehlsonn, Buriedburied his axe into the tree and it gained magical properties.
 
TheAfter momenttheir thereturn, Vanadians arrivedexperienced in Ceyreto they encounteredimmediate trouble,. theThe nearby lands were in a territory dispute with a group of undead pirates known as the Dreadhorde. This caused Vanadia to work with the local towns of Wrensbath and Kalikhan, they debateddebating on how they should deal with the problem and decided that they should approach the nation of Valtara for protection. This lead to a meeting between Lord Gem of Valtara and Adriaan of Vinçois, theywho eventually came to a deal in which Valtara, Vinçois and the new region of Vanadia would go on to form the Triumvirate of Ceyreto. The nation was made up of three regions including Vanadia,. theUnder VanadianVanadia regionwere wasthe comprisedcities of Tìrean Ùra, Wrensbath and Kalikhan. Jarl Sigeric Ehlsonn of Vanadia was chosen as the triumvirTriumvir for the region, and still rules over the area to this day.
 
The arrival of the Vanadians in CeyretoKuthara started a shift in their culture,. itIt was an oppurtunity for them to shake off any of the Rhumish influence they had in their language and culture. They also converted from their version of [[Agdarrism]] and returned to their old religion of [[Talmhaoradh]].

==== Forging of the Mhor Øks ====
In the mountains of Aldland there lived a famous smith who forged weapons for warriors all around the land. It was said the cold mountain air helped harden the blade and made them stronger. During the conflicts within Aldland the great warrior Dearac Ehl needed a new axe. He, like most other warriors, made a pilgrimage up into the Jindril mountains and requested an axe from the smith. Being told by Ehl himself that his son needed a new axe, the smith had already forged one for him. Dearac took the axe and continued up the mountain, as he reached the summit he saw a tree growing out of the tip of the mountain. In Aldic tradition he buried the axe into the bark of the tree, it was at this moment the axe was blessed by Talamh with magical properties. The axe has been passed down through the Ehlsonn family and is currently owned by Sigeric Ehlsonn.

Vhithaven was one of the Rhumish settlements within old Vanadia. It was ruled over by Candac var Graefon who disappeared into obscurity after the Rhumish leadership vanished in the mountain of Gnibelhaym, and the collapse of the Rhumish realm. It is thought he was killed in some of the rioting that happened at the time, although his body was never found. Vhithafen was named so after it's walls and buildings made up of diorite and calcite from the local quarries. It was one of the first sights many sailors would see when they sailed into Rhumlaantd, as the walls would glisten in the sunlight.
