Valoria

"Orion's bane killed the king. And the entire royal family. And anything their bodies touched..."

- Arden

Valoria is a nation and continent from the world of Caelestia. Valorians are known for their ability to resist compulsion. Some known locations in its territory include Mithius, where the Royal Seat of Valoria is located, and Orion's tomb.

History
Over 4,000 years ago, a rival sought the throne of Valoria's current king, Orion. Intending to continue being the king, Orion hired an alchemist called Morgan to produce a poison for him, which came to be called Orion's bane. However, the poison killed the king, the entire royal family and anything their bodies touched, decimating most of Valoria's population. It would have spread to the rest of Caelestia if not for the fact that Morgan prepared a phylactery, went into Valoria and sealed king Orion away in a glass tomb. By doing this, however, he also became infected with the poison. Though he ran to Orisis and tried to develop a cure, he died there. Thanks to his preparations, however, he became a Lich and came to be known as Morgan of Orisis. He made of the nation of Valoria his army of undead, and continued to expand his armies afterwards.

Some years ago, an earthquake caused part of the ceiling to collapse into Orion's tomb, breaking a hole in it and causing over 3,000 people to die. A team from Universitas Caelestiae, which included Arden, responded to the accident; they later continued to try and develop a satisfying cure for the poison.

More recently, Valoria declared war on Main due to the fact that a Valorian sought to introduce irrefutable proof of the existence of an avatar in Fair Harbor other than one of Eldron Larethian.
