Rodan

Rodan is the province in which the main character, Walter, belongs to in "The Sage ".

History
Rodan was once a peaceful province that expanded across the northern coast of Halerond. The Kingdom of Rodan was one of the first Kingdoms to recognize their creator, the Sage. The Temple of the Sage was located in the Ice Caps, along the eastern border. The Kingdom of Rodan went through an era of brutality and hardship. Their monarch and founder, King Thaddeus Rodan I, was a corrupt and power-hungry ruler. All King Thaddeus cared about was land, power, and wealth. After several years of horrid reign, a group of rebels mutinied against the King and murdered him, causing a Civil War.

Geography
Rodan was not always frozen over. Before the Third Era (King Thaddeus Rodan III), Rodan was a beautiful mixture of forests and plains and hillsides. During the Dawn of the Sage, Rodan froze over. The closest areas in proximity of the Temple of the Sage, known as the Ice Caps, are now so cold, it is uninhabitable.

Civil War
The rebels, known as the Resistance of Baragard, captured the Northern lands of Rodan and split the province in two. The fighting went on for three years, until finally King Thaddeus Rodan II surrendered. The Resistance of Baragard became the Province, and later the Kingdom.
