Authors note: While incomplete, the book you are about to read is the most comprehensive collection of stories, legends, and historical notes on the timeline of Rembrant since her creation. The future is ever uncertain, with the coming rose of the Coventine Empire, but this author hopes this book and its stories will remain for future generations to read and learn from.
~Thadeus Fletcher, scholar of Valanice
~Page 7 - The Third Age~
At the time of this book being written, the people of Rembrant live in what is known as the Third Age. There are only two events worth mentioning at this time:
The loss of Esylana's sovereignty in Valanice, and the uprising power from the remnants of Roth, the Coventine Empire.
The people of Valanice have lost their respect and desire for magic, and a forceful rebuke of all things magical erupted among the people, prompting a great civil war. It is believed that those who rejected magic influenced its flow in Valanice, and the loss of magic, coupled with the belief in the leadership of a man named Arduin Geldamont, led to Esylana's surrender to his forces. And so, Arduin Geldamont rose up to become the new king of Valanice.
A year after his coronation, Arduin took Esylana as his wife and queen, satisfying those who still believed, quietly, in the old ways. This fully united Valanice's peoples, and there is peace, even in the absence of magic.

Not much is presently known about the Coventine Empire, save that they have begun to march across Rembrant. Their numbers are unknown, but some are rumored to have heard the cry of dragons in their midst, and to have seen the towering form of giants in the trees.
It seems that Rembrant will never truly be at peace for long.
