History
Mountain Monarchy
In the land of Vailor the Frostbeard clan grew swiftly and quickly became a very powerful military force. It's Clan Father at the time, Verthaik ran for King but lost to Skippy Irongut in a controversial election. Joined by the Blackfist and Goldhand clan, Verthaik left the Grand Kingdom of Urguan and established the Mountain Monarchy. This short lived nation was the first powerful and serious opponent to what the Frostbeards viewed as the corruption of Urguan.
