For many years, the Kingdom of Damara has been at war with the Kingdom of Vaasa, its neighbor to the north. Vaasa, ruled by an evil wizard of incredible power, has been slowly crushing its southern neighbor. Recently, disaster befell the armies of King Virdin of Damara at the Battle of Goliad. The king was killed andhis forces routed. Now, the once-great Kingdom of Damara is a vassal state to Vaasa.
The northern provinces of Damara are now completely under the sway of Vaasa. A steady stream of refugees has been moving south. Many were the people who had to abandon home, treasure and friends to flee a terrible fate at the hands of the invaders.
For now, the situation has stabilized.The Kingdom of Damara is no more, but some of the more powerful dukes and
barons in the southern provinces have become effectively independent. As longas they pay tribute to Vaasa and
acknowledge the power of their northern neighbor, they can maintain some semblance of an independent existence.
