Grannvale itself was founded by Saint [[Heim]] of the [[Twelve Crusaders]] in [[Timeline of Archanea, Valentia and Jugdral|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 [[Darna]]. 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]].
