Background
The Kingdom Of Alcante is a kingdom founded in the year 754 by Michael III of Caldoya (Michael I of Alcante) Alcante has existed since creation, in some form. It was first unified in the unification wars led by Michael III of Caldoya, during these wars the House of Darkheart took full control of all of the Alcante.

History
Alcante was made from twelve smaller states. These states are Caldoya, Trilingo, Northern Alcante, South Alcante, Catlionia, Outer Catlon, Catlon Proper, Trescerasus, Trisceras, Potenstatus, Cerasustatus, and Status. The first ruler of Alcante was Michael III of Caldoya (Michael I of Alcante) Michael III was married to the idea of central power this resulted in the great purge where in he slaughtered noble men who had not sided with him or who where disloyal. The great purge had the intended affect thought Michael III gained much more direct control of the states. Due to a certain distain most states had for Caldoya as well as the inconvenient placement of Caldoya city, Michael III chose to build a new capital on the river, he named his new city Alcante and built the Imperial Palace.

End of Michael's Reign
Michael's reign ended when a large amount of nobles revolted against him, the revolt was put down but Michael took a arrow to knee. This severely weakened him. It weakened him enough, to the point that one of the sons of DIA (Sulobiad) was able to slip out from the void and posses a mortal man. Sulobiad began to plot in the background. More importantly the revolt had served to weaken imperial power over the states. This was a bad time for central authority to weaken, as with Sulobiad in the background the kingdom needed strong leadership. The noble men left after the great purge banded together but rather than revolt they gave Michael a ultimatum, give us the right to control most of the functions of our states our watch Alcante burn, they never got am answer as Michael III died later that year.

Death of Michael III
While on a visit to his home state of Caldoya Michael III decided to travel on his own unknown to him, he was not alone. Sulobaid had been watching him, waiting. This was what Sulobaid was waiting for, he cornered Michael and stabbed him several times. With Michael's death his only son became king. After this event Sulobaid stole the map from Michael.
