Nowadays, the Kingdom of Ravenstern sits on the southern slopes of the impassible Cloudmist Mountains. The scorn of other established knighthood and the lack of support to rout the invaders from Rane prompted the Northern Lords to break ties with the southern lords and declared themselves an independent Kingdom: The Kingdom of Ravenstern.

They demanded that the Order of the Dragon be disbanded which in the minds of the proud warriors of the North, was an unforgivable insult to their valor. News of this new order was not well received by other knighthood orders or by the nobility to the South. The Northern Lords, who fought so valiantly that day, decided to establish a knighthood order, the Order of the Dragon, comprised of the valiant warriors who defended the city. The battle was bloody and fierce, and in the end, the siege was lifted, and the barbarian tribesmen and their shaman leaders, routed back to their mountain homes. Many Northern Lords, banded together and formed a small army that marched to defend the city from the onslaught of the northern Mystmountain warriors. The Earl of Rane sought help from the nobles of the land, but the schemes of the powerful found reasons not to come to his aid. Emboldened by their success and the lack of response from the Knights of the Realm, they struck even deeper and soon this led to the siege to Rane.

In the North, the mountain tribesmen began raiding the heartlands of Pendor.
