=== Settling and expanding ===
The region that became Hanald was originally populated by the [[Pahn Kahl]] people{{book ref|wb|32}}, who lived in a collection of fishing villages. When the people of [[Chedesh]], who dominated the world at the time,{{book ref|wb|32}} began exploring other parts of the [[Inner Sea]]'s coastline, a group of their ships discovered this valley filled with jungles.{{book ref|wb|32}} One of the explorers, [[Vo]], died and became the first [[Returned]] while on one of the ships in the bay.{{book ref|wb|32}} He then died again a week later. Dismissive of the native Pahn Kahl, his crewmates founded a kingdom on the site and named it Hanald.{{book ref|wb|32}} they elected Vo's wife, who was pregnant with his child, as their queen.{{book ref|wb|32}}
 
The kingdom of Hanald quickly expanded, eventually claiming most of the lowlands{{book ref|wb|32}} as well as the highlands.{{book ref|wb|32}} They faced little resistance during this time, as the only other kingdom in the lowlands was Pahn Kahl,{{book ref|wb|32}} which wasn’t very mighty. The economy of Hanald grew quickly as well, likely because of the farming of the [[Tears of Edgli]]{{book ref|wb|32}} and other products native to the lowlands. At some point large mineral deposits were found in the northern mountains, Hanald founded mines in this region, this includes a number of copper mines.{{book ref|wb|16}}
 
=== 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]].{{book ref|wb|32}} During this period major discoveries and developments were made in awakening.{{book ref|wb|32}} A lot of these discoveries were made by the [[Five Scholars]],{{book ref|wb|32}} a few examples include the command to make [[lifeless]] with a single breath{{book ref|wb|32}} and the invention of [[Ichor-alcohol]].{{book ref|wb|epilogue}} These discoveries allowed nations to build far larger and cheaper armies.{{book ref|wb|32}} Because many of these discoveries were made in Hanald the other nations grew scared as they would only get behind farther and farther as time passed.
 
At some point, one of the [[Returned]] in Hanald had a vision of war.{{book ref|wb|32}} This ended up being the catalyst for a war, as it prompted [[Strifelover]] to strike preemptively against the other nations.{{book ref|wb|32}}
 
[[Strifelover]] used his knowledge of BioChroma and Awakening to raise up a vast army.{{book ref|wb|7}} In the beginning, it seemed the Royal family made Strifelover their general.{{book ref|wb|32}} However, he used this army, and the Royal family's own Awakeners and Lifeless, as well as a revolt of the people, to seize control of Hanald from them. The family promptly fled [[T'Telir]], fleeing to the highlands.{{book ref|wb|32}}
 
What was to become known as the [[Manywar]] broke out.{{book ref|wb|32}} Hanald's main rivals, [[Kuth]] and [[Huth]], were destroyed in the war,{{book ref|wb|32}} and Hanald itself was renamed a variation of its old name.{{book ref|wb|32}} The kingdom of [[Hallandren]] was born in its place when [[Peacegiver]] established the line of the [[God King]]s.{{book ref|wb|32}} Hanald's former royal lineage fled to the mountains and established the kingdom of [[Idris]],{{book ref|wb|7}} thus splitting the kingdom of Hanald.
