It was not difficult, during the recent interregnum, for Osrac Iron-arm to declare himself king, independent in all but name. He seized the imperial capital of Baravenos and the lands along the coast, and that was how the west was lost to the empire.” > > *Pulled from* [[3-settlements-(Bannerlord)]] — “Paravenos was the second major colony founded by Calradios the Great, and it soon succeeded Charasea as the capital of the Calradians. Eventually, the empire's center of gravity moved east, but Paravenos retained its primacy as the economic center of the West. When Osric Iron-Arm the Vlandian invaded, he recognized Paravenos would be far more valuable as a seat of power than as simply as a source of loot, and negotiated its surrender with local senators. It passed to a cadet branch of Osric's line, the dey Tihr clan, and is today known as Pravend.” — “Galend overlooks the wave-beaten Biscan coast. It takes in the catch from the Biscan's intrepid fishermen who venture out far into the western ocean, as well as the wool of sheep from the green fog-covered hills. The current line of Vlandian kings comes from the clans who settled in this region during Osric Iron-Arm's invasion.” > > *Pulled from* [[3-spkingdoms-(Bannerlord)]] — “The Vlandian monarchy descends from Osric Iron-Arm, a warlord who seized the western coasts of the Empire and was recognized as king by the emperors as the price of peace. He in turn recognized his lieutenants as barons and counts, granting them suzerainty over their lands in exchange for rallying to his banner in war. Some Vlandian kings have sought to expand the powers of the kingship; others have allowed the barons to feud among themselves so long as the money and manpower was there when needed.” > > *Pulled from* [[3-world_lore_strings-(Bannerlord)]] — “When my great-grandfather Osric Iron-Arm declared himself king of Vlandia, the emperor himself sent us a golden crown as a goodwill gift. Hmf. Do not trust gifts from the Empire.” > &emsp;&emsp; ![[encyclopedia_calradica.gif|center|300]] >*“A massive `Mount & Blade` wikipedia.”* About [Encyclopædia Calradica](About-the-Encyclopædia.md) About the [Project](Project-(Pillar).md) About the [Author](Horseapple.md) &emsp;&emsp;
