Eyllisspar was founded by Lord Sciron Tha’on at the age of twenty-six. It took nearly eleven years for the young king to obtain the beginnings of his kingdom. It covered over one hundred square miles, and when his empire began to show real promise, Lord Sciron decided to find a suitable woman for which he would marry. Her name was Selene, a princess from neighboring lands. Lord Sciron left his home in Maernamea to gain even more land for his rapidly-growing empire. It was another ten years before the king returned with his nearly annihilated army, but he had done it… he had conquered almost every kingdom which stood in the way of his totalitarian rule. With the news of his wife’s pregnancy, Lord Sciron decided to remain within the boundaries of his kingdom while his generals led the massive Eyllisspian army into new wars with other countries; the strongest nations. After five years of war, another kingdom had fallen, while back in Maernamea, Sciron and Selene were burdened with three four year old sons; Valerius, Argo, and Rasputin. As another decade passed, the boys had been in training for succession of their father’s throne. All three boys fought with a ravenous thirst to obtain the throne, and to rule the whole empire. During this time, Lord Sciron fell deathly ill. Selene and their servants tended to the sickly king, but he died two years later, at the age of sixty-three. Oddly enough, Queen Selene of Eyllisspar died just days after her husband. Rumor has it that she died of a broken heart. The king and queen were buried together in the courtyard of the Maernamea palace. On her deathbed, Selene told her three sons that they were to rule as one over the empire, which had now expanded to the entire continent; for in the two years that the illness sapped the king’s life, the last two nations fell.

When the three boys were twenty-six, Argo met a beautiful young woman named Aurelia. Wary that his brothers would try to seduce her, he kept the romance a secret. Rasputin noticed a change in his brother, though, and spied on the secretive lovers. He became entranced by Aurelia’s beauty, and began courting her himself. Valerius noticed the young woman’s frequent visits to the castle and found out about the strange triangle. He was thrilled by the challenge she presented, and was determined to steal her for himself. With all three princes fighting over Aurelia’s affections, each became oblivious to his duties to the empire and to his family. One night, Aurelia deviously invited each of them to meet her in the palace courtyard at the same time. When the three brothers saw each other in the courtyard, they were bewildered and ashamed. Without warning, Aurelia attacked them, and it was then that they realized that her strange beauty was a result of her vampirism. They each awoke in their own beds, but were strangely sensitive to sunlight. After weeks spent in the dark, they realized that they had been changed by the temptress, and were enraged. They fought amongst themselves about what to do, but the debate was finally settled when Valerius decided to take matters into his own hands and kill Aurelia. After destroying her heart, the only way to kill a vampire, he strung up her body over the main gate to the palace as a warning to all vampires, but the damage was done. Argo and Rasputin exiled him to a corner of the empire, and Rasputin left shortly after, unable to bear the memories guarded by the palace. Argo remained in Maernamea, and so it came to be that Eyllisspar was separated into three kingdoms, each ruled by one of the mighty Eyllisspian princes.

In the current day and age of Eyllisspar, the rulers of the three kingdoms have kept their dark secret amongst themselves. The three tainted sons of Sciron Tha'on found ways to avoid sunlight by wearing heavy clothing, and quench their need for human blood by preying on the unsuspecting prisoners of 'Ksherea, a prison-fortress shared by the three kings.If the public discovered that their kings were vampires, they would surely cause a riot.
