King Cyvil Rand

Cyvil Rand was a famous historical figure, the conqueror of The Twenty Realms, the head of House Rand at the time and the first King Of The Twenty Realms.

Background
Cyvil Rand was born to the minor noble family of Rand on The Lush Continent. At that point, House Rand held very little influence and was only the minor house presiding over a western port on The Lush Continent.

The Destruction Of The Lush Continent
The mysterious means by which The Lush Continent was destroyed provided House Ramd with a unique opportunity. As they operated the most western and least damaged port in the entirety of The Lush Continent, House Rand forced the fleeing folk of The Lush Continent to swear fealty and give House Rand all their wealth, with which House Rand would later use to purchase huge mercenary armies.

Cyvil's Voyage
Cyvil sailed west from the ruins of The Lush Continent with a massive fleet, leaving the smoldering ashes that would become The Isle Of Suffering far behind. On the voyage they lost many a ship to treacherous waters. Starving and diseased, they docked on several of The Eastern Islands where they bought more mercenaries in return for large sums of wealth.

The Eastern Islands survived without being conquered due to their convincing lie that House Rand believed; that The Eastern Islands were under the protection of The Stormgods and The Stormkings of Volvullig, as well as their mutually beneficial trade agreement and the innocent (at the time) Cyvil Rand, the young sixteen year old leader of the people of a lost continent and mercenaries who owed their allegiance to the highest bidder.
