The House of Baireiksing, the family of the leader of Eisarnknoth, claims they come from a long line of men in service to Alder, starting in the First Age of Man. As time went along, the people once known as the Baireiksing became the Salier instead through modern Attian influence. During the Raevendrecht-Hadriana War in 1532, a rising officer, Aleksandra Salier broke free from the Empire, leading her people to the South. where they lived in a city they built in the desert. They lived here for about a year before they moved to the North. Some of the now Baireiksing family stayed behind in Adelsburg, unable to give up their previous home. To save her family from their father, Viktor, Aleksandra had him slain in ritual fashion, beginning their ascent to Eisarnknoth. Now Aleksandra has begun a sudden revival of Alder’s ways, reverting back to the original name, Baireiksing, or “bear ruler” in Common. The House of Baireiksing also founded a separation of Alderism, Wahrheit Alderism. Their rule in the newly proclaimed Kingdom of Eisarnknoth has begun a return to the old ways of their people.
It is told that the founding Attian House of Eisarknoth, the "House of Baireiksing", descended from a long line of men in service to Alder, legendary founder of Alderism.  


In the year of our Ruler 1533, the Eisarnthiuda scholars have created a comprehensive list of their society, detailing as much as they can of their daily lives in order to help others understand who they truly are. The Eisarnthiuda will live on in history as a colorful society, full of religion and culture. They pray to Alder to continue to guide their paths in order to live the way that He did.
In the Empire of Hadriana, a branch of this ancient House was also known with the name "Salier".  


In 1534, Thiudan Aleksandra Baireiksing announced the organization of a professional army, named the Eisarnknoth Harjaz, loyal to herself and her state. Much like the holy survivors of Prince Severan’s exodus, the Eisarnthiuda establish themselves as the true followers of Alder who cannot be corrupted by a decadent elite. To expand the grasp of her realm and as a safety measure against recent attacks from the swamps, this new army is meant to remain assembled at all times and to remain loyal to the crown. The age of levies is at an end and Thiudan Aleksandra remains the sole person in the nation that shall have command over an independent military force. No army shall be assembled for any purposes not intended for by Thiudan Aleksandra Baireiksing.
During the Raevendrecht-Hadriana War in 1532, a prominent member of this House, Aleksandra Salier, left the Empire of Hadriana and led her people Southwards in search of profit. There the Saliers founded a town by the [[Al-Tobruk Ruins]] in the eastern Anjyarri desert.  


Later that year strange things started to happen near the swamp. It all started when Otto Gestg approached the keep op Eisarnwidus to meet with Aleksandria. First the village got attacked by multiple waves of strange spawn creatures. After that the brave inhabitants fought a large Lilibelle. Then in a long fight Eveline Ludwig killed the Lilibelle by destroying the blue-flame skull with a final blow. With this she saved Asterus from suffering pain caused by a black sludge he had fallen into.  
This project lasted a year, during which they gathered money and influence until political games in Hadriana granted an opportunity for the family to settle north of Adelsburg, next to the old ruins of Magna Attia.  


Shortly after Otto Gerstg, a traveling merchant, returned to the village to sell different kinds of weapons and other items. With those new items they entered the swamp again and fought with the bonelike creatures again this time with more success than the first time. They got further into the swamp than ever. After the fight Otto Gerstg appeared again and sold Elduin an Emphyrean Circlet for 2200 andros.  
In internal disagreements among the old family members Aleksandra slew her father Viktor and started a reformation of the House to its ancestral origins.  


Thousand Aleksandra and Lord-Regent Elduin signed a pact together, which they simply called Eisarnknoth-Aerial Non-Agression and Trade Pact. Causin Eisarnknoth’s military services for the glade in return for this pact Aerial delivered ores to them.  
This leader studied and restored what she called " the old Alder’s ways", and reverted back the Saliers to their original name: Baireiksing, meaning “Bear Sovereign”.  


The village gets attacked again, by multiple hordes of creatures. Each of them being stronger and greater than the ones before. After they defeated them a Bonelord Golem appeared who attacked them. After he got defeated a large entity made out of rotten flesh erupted from the ground, and started to fight the people. Pretty early in the battle the Circlet began to ache at the mind of Elduin, who had offered to teach Aleksandra aeromancy to further help in the efforts of cleaning out the swamp,but he managed to fight the conflict within them.  The willpower of the fighters allowed them to fire arrows and bolts of pure Sunfire, which disintegrated the creature's limbs over time. A great portion of the individuals didn’t have silvered weapons, nor were they able to buy things from Otto. Causing a lot of their arrows and sword strikes only minutely hamper its ascend. Many of the people ended up suffering grievous wounds. However their bravery, they didn’t manage to fight off the bonelord completely so decided to leave after he turned out to be too strong
The House of Baireiksing therefore founded a separation of Alderism, the [[Wahrheit Alderism]], which was the State's official religion.


Many citizens of Eisarnknoth fled the land after the swamp attacks seemed to form a big threat to their people. Only a small portion of the citizens remained, some of them even ended up joining other nations. After the city was abandoned for a while the citizens of Raevkov under the lead of Matthijs van Oudkerken took over the land.
In 1534, Aleksandra Baireiksing finished her reformation, with the institution of a professional army, named the "Eisarnknoth Harjaz", referencing an old legendary happening in [[The Kingdom of Hadriana]], when a Witch flooded Magna Attia and Prince Severan led the Attians out of their ancestral lands.

Introduction

Eisarngrad, formerly known as Eisarnwidius, Eisarn meaning iron and widius meaning forest,( the former capital of The Kingdom of Eisarnknoth), is a small village near the Jägershoff Brewery. Eisarnknoth used to be a kingdom led by Thiudan Aleksandra of the House of Baireiksing. The culture of Eisarnknoth was inspired by Gothic culture. Although they consisted largely of Attian Humans that seceded from the Hadrian empire, they also allowed other races to live with them.

Location

The village is located very close to the swamp with only a river separating the two.

It’s located on tile 15.

History

It is told that the founding Attian House of Eisarknoth, the "House of Baireiksing", descended from a long line of men in service to Alder, legendary founder of Alderism.

In the Empire of Hadriana, a branch of this ancient House was also known with the name "Salier".

During the Raevendrecht-Hadriana War in 1532, a prominent member of this House, Aleksandra Salier, left the Empire of Hadriana and led her people Southwards in search of profit. There the Saliers founded a town by the Al-Tobruk Ruins in the eastern Anjyarri desert.

This project lasted a year, during which they gathered money and influence until political games in Hadriana granted an opportunity for the family to settle north of Adelsburg, next to the old ruins of Magna Attia.

In internal disagreements among the old family members Aleksandra slew her father Viktor and started a reformation of the House to its ancestral origins.

This leader studied and restored what she called " the old Alder’s ways", and reverted back the Saliers to their original name: Baireiksing, meaning “Bear Sovereign”.

The House of Baireiksing therefore founded a separation of Alderism, the Wahrheit Alderism, which was the State's official religion.

In 1534, Aleksandra Baireiksing finished her reformation, with the institution of a professional army, named the "Eisarnknoth Harjaz", referencing an old legendary happening in The Kingdom of Hadriana, when a Witch flooded Magna Attia and Prince Severan led the Attians out of their ancestral lands.

The settlement has never been able to avoid the assiduous presence of the hostile creatures of the nearby swamp, which it has always successfully repelled.

The great activity of Eisarknoth's army was also briefly known abroad, where the family's connections secured treaties and profitable trade agreements. Worthy of note was the collaboration with the High Elves, precious for their magical knowledge effective against the undead of Magna Attia.

However, the presence of the Undead became more and more insistent on the settlement, until the shadow of the Bone Lord fell on the city. In the end, in a gigantic voidal invasion Eisarnwidus capitulated and its inhabitants fled.

After the city was abandoned for some years, the citizens of Raevkov entered the ruined fort, and by rebuilding its damaged buildings they reclaimed it as part of the Tzardom.

What it is in Present Time

Right now Eisarngrad is a village that belongs to the Tzardom of Raevkov.
