Vesdorians

History

In 750BD, a clan of winged people called Vesdorians emerged from the Great Ranges in Benevis and founded a kingdom under their king Alophiel. Though they experienced tension between their own kingdom and Nor Vastin, at their peak they held dominion over much of the Lytelands, introduced Liogons to the area, built Vesdor Castle, and founded the city of Lyte. Their kingdom ended during the Burning Seas War around 450BD, and their last winged king was slain by Lord Renin.

Despite seeming to come out of nowhere, Vesdorians emerged from the

Vesdor Castle to some was the tallest manmade structure ever, but other scholars deny this as they deemed the Vesdorians to be hybrids rather than pure humans. So advanced was their architectural knowledge that the multi-tiered walls of Vesdor Castle towered over the surrounding land at an estimated whopping 350 meters (1150 feet). The castle, for some reason, had battlements atop these walls, leading many to speculate that the Vesdorians expected an aerial assault from some unknown force during their reign, but this never occurred. Others say that flying monsters were the true foes of the Vesdorians.

The castle was besieged and destroyed by the Xilou Hoqomer during the Burning Sea Wars around 390BD using Yrmbaro siege animals, heavy artillery, and sapping. A towering ruin remains to this day, sitting at only a fifth of its previous height.
