== History ==
=== The Chedesh and Vo ===
The region that became Hanald was originally populated by the [[Pahn Kahl]] people, who lived in a collection of fishing villages. When the people of [[Chedesh]], who dominated the world at the time, began exploring other parts of the [[Inner Sea]]'s coastline, a group of their ships discovered this valley filled with jungles. One of the explorers, [[Vo]], became the first [[Returned]] while on one of the ships in the bay. He declared the [[five Visions]] and then died a week later. Dismissive of the native Pahn Kahl, his crewmates founded a kingdom on the site and named it Hanald. They elected Vo's wife, who was pregnant with his child, as their queen.{{book ref|wb|32}}
 
=== Tensions and the Manywar ===
The dye trade was one of the main reasons for Hanald’s quick growth, because of this the kingdom quickly started a stranglehold on the dye trade, making sure the trade was completely dependent on Hanald. Due to this relations with other kingdoms worsened.
 
The Royal family also turned it’s attention to the development of the relatively new art of [[Awakening]]. During this period major discoveries and developments were made in awakening. A lot of these discoveries were made by the [[Five Scholars]], a few examples include the command to make [[lifeless]] with a single breath and the invention of [[Ichor-alcohol]].
 
Tensions between Hanald and its neighbors began to increase due to these factors; for one, their stranglehold on the world's dye economy caused resentment to grow against them. Major discoveries in the art of Awakening also worsened relations and led to the expansion of many nations' armies. Eventually, what was to become known as the [[Manywar]] broke out. Hanald's main rivals, [[Kuth]] and [[Huth]], were destroyed in the war, and Hanald itself was renamed a variation of its old name. The kingdom of [[Hallandren]] was born in its place when [[Peacegiver]] established the line of the [[God King]]s. Hanald's former royal lineage fled to the mountains and established the kingdom of [[Idris]].{{book ref|wb|32}}
