Long ago, the region of Carduelis was divided into six kingdoms, each ruled by a king. The kingdoms, despite not being openly at war, were often at odds with each other. However, their long-standing conflicts were put on hold when an unknown threat came from the sea. The six kings realised that they needed to put their differences aside to fight the people of the sea, forming the first and only hexarchy of history. For many days, the battle raged on, but its outcome is still unknown, since the kingdoms seem to have disappeared into nowhere soon after. Historical records of the time tell of how the two peoples fought, but nothing has ever been found from the later period. Due to its harsh territory, the region of Carduelis has been uninhabited since then. Of the six kingdoms nothing remains but ruins. Many questions remain unanswered about what happened to the kingdoms and how they disappeared without a trace. In recent times, many have ventured into the region in search of answers, but without success. Despite this, the mystery continues to attract the curiosity of the inhabitants of the neighbouring regions.
