==Background== Settled along the southeastern peninsula of the Tiers, Stalwart lays claim to the tumultuous eastern seas, and the nation has long filled its coffers by tolling the coast. The people of Stalwart are fiercely proud of having never lost a war (other than civil war) on their own soil, despite numerous forays into their neighbors’ lands.<ref name="WMP" /> Some of its most notable engagements were with the [[Free Cities]] and their vast mercenary armies, including the Battle of Nineth's Gorge of 253 TR, when they attempted to seize territory by destroying an enemy force in an ambush with boiling pitch in the eponymous gorge (prevented by recon and commissioning a shield that protected the troops passing through the gorge single file) and the Battle of Quelling Field of 398, when the mercenary army advancing on Stalwart's farmlands and nearly winning the day was repulsed by the [[Dauntless]] and the wave of patriotic cheer it inspired, sending the mercenary army into retreat.<ref>[[Dauntless]]</ref> In fact, the only real occasion when Stalwart lost a war was civil war: The separation of Sunder that occurred in 347 TR, ending hostilities between the sides in a treaty that stipulated that Stalwart ''did not just lose a civil war'', but rather, the two amicably parted ways.<ref>Lore: "In a treaty that ended with the firm stipulation that Sunder chose to leave and that Stalwart did not lose a civil war, the Free City of Sunder marks 347 TR as its year of independence. "</ref> The Unbroken Blades met their match when they faced the might of the Disfavored legion. Though largely defeated in battle, the last remaining leader of Stalwart, Regent [[Straydus Herodin]], fell back to their nigh-impenetrable fortress of Sentinel Stand and refused to meet the [[Disfavored]] in one last, decisive battle. In the year 430 TR, [[Kyros]] proclaimed the [[Edict]] of Storms on the realm of Stalwart to punish this cowardice. [[Kyros]]' [[Edict]] blanketed the peninsula with endless storms, giving the enemy a chance to hide in their castle and watch their lands wither. The blasted realm is now known as the [[Blade Grave]]. The terms of the [[Edict]] specified that the storms would gust without mercy until the last member of the Regent bloodline - the rulers of Stalwart - met his or her death. A year of brutal weather devastated the once-mighty Realm of Stalwart, all but wiping it from the map. There isn't much left of the old country, save for the [[Unbroken]] and their stubborn pride. The region is now known as the [[Blade Grave]], with the destroyed realm referred to as the Stalwart-That-Was. The Unbroken continue to wage a campaign of guerrilla warfare against the [[Disfavored]] occupying the land, hoping to remove them from their territory and establish a new nation, breaking with the incestuous traditions of the Regents. Stalwart-To-Be would be a land by the people, for the people. But for that, Straydus Herodin must first die to break the edict.
