History

Gardenia was once a stronghold called Ft. Rebuke used during the Olgrim conflict but was built further to be a city for the people. People from many backgrounds came for the idea of an everlasting body & utopian society and where pleased with their new area and ruler. Centuries go by with technology growing in power and intricacy at the will of their queen Neve Olgrim.   This continued until the Olgrim Dynasty had a meeting with the leaders of the Ovalin Dynasty discussing a partnership which was rejected by the Olgrim Dynasty sparking the Ovalin Raids, a series of attacks acting as a war of attrition until the Olgrim Dynasty complied but they never did. These raids did alot of damage, crippled Neve with taphrosis, killed Eudora Ghaul, and sparked the Primal Days.   Gardenia then had to deal with attacks from savage beasts of immense power until Sellfur had established a pact with the Dryad he helped centuries ago ending the threat of the beasts. Years later the Olgrim Dynasty finally began bearing offspring something thought impossible due to the queen's taphrosis. The first child a daughter named Astrea, the second and third child twins named Sol and Luna, the fourth Nelio seemed to be affected by the queen's taphrosis being born with a weakened heart predicted to die but was miraculously saved by Astrea.   The Darkin made their comeback sparking the 14 year Hollow War ending with a flood intended to kill all Darkin in their underground home for a while ending the threat of the Darkin to the entirety of Gale. 4 years after that the Black Garden War was sparked after the activation of Salem's spire by the remnants of the Darkin lead by an Erebus and the Yor Dynasty. The city suffered much loss during the war like their beloved king Sellfur, but they gained many allies and more power through others like the former Darkin enforcer Leon and the last survivor of the Cromwell Monastery Saveara, and the first ever Mephilos Morigan. The war ended with Morigan leading the Darkin and the race being vassals of the Olgrim Kingdom.
