“ | Grannvale rests in the centre of the Jugdral continent and was founded by Saint Heim, one of the 12 Crusaders. | ” | — Opening of the Prologue |
---|
The Kingdom of Grannvale (Japanese: グランベル王国 Kingdom of Grandbell), known as the Empire of Grannvale (Japanese: グランベル帝国 Empire of Grandbell) during the reign of Arvis, is one of the nations of Jugdral, occupying approximately the center of the continent. It is bordered by Agustria to the northwest, Verdane to the southwest, Miletos to the south, the Munster District to the east and the Aed Desert to the northeast. Grannvale is a kingdom comprised of six satellite duchies surrounding the center of power, the capital Belhalla.
History
Grannvale itself was founded by Saint Heim of the Twelve Crusaders in Grann 649 following the downfall of the Loptrian Empire, with six other Crusaders – Baldr, Bragi, Ullr, Fjalar, Thrud and Nál – founding its six duchies. The descendants of each Crusader continued to rule their duchies in the following centuries.
In the year 757, Grannvale initiated a war against Isaach in retaliation for a perceived assault by the nation upon the sacred site of Dahna. Grannvale ultimately won the war, but between it and the internal strife it faced with the actions of Sigurd of Chalphy and the machinations of the dukes Reptor and Lombard, it emerged a thoroughly changed nation. The crown prince Kurth was assassinated by Lombard, who framed Sigurd for the crime, and so following the death of King Azmur, the throne was succeeded by Lord Arvis of Velthomer through his marriage to Azmur's newly-rediscovered granddaughter Deirdre.
With the continent unified under his leadership, Arvis reorganized Grannvale into an empire with himself as its first emperor, by popular demand of the people of Grannvale.[1] At first, the Grannvale Empire was a peaceful, if constraining, nation,[2] until rule of Grannvale was seized from Arvis by his son Julius, the human host of Loptous. Julius twisted Grannvale into a malevolent dictatorial force and entrusted the Loptr Church with important roles in its governance, seeking to restore the Loptrian Empire. In response to the tyranny, in Grann 777, Sigurd's son Seliph emerged from exile in Isaach and led a liberation army across Jugdral, culminating in the deaths of Arvis and Julius and the end of the Empire's control of the continent. In the aftermath of the war, Seliph assumed the title of King of Grannvale, as the eldest child of Deirdre.
