	But then stirrings in the far west led to great changes upon the landscape of the world. The noble [[Igmerinds]] had once possessed a kingdom of their own, but after a nomadic group known only as Rintriders destroyed their ancestral lands they were forced to seek refuge with the wealthy [[Sopts]]. The Mingit empire was destroyed very suddenly by the same horde from the western desert, leading the Igmerinds and the [[Mingits]] to both find shelter with their rich neighbors. Today the Mingits are scattered, dwelling in separate quarters in many cities (including [[Drache]]).		But then stirrings in the far west led to great changes upon the landscape of the world.

	The Igmerinds briefly established a second kingdom, but it was destroyed centuries ago by the ~~tailed~~ [[Leturians]] who migrated into what had been the old Mingit empire and Igmerind Empire. The Leturians made slaves of many Igmerinds, but many others continued yet further east, finally coming upon the lands of the primitive Goxal, who welcomed them into their midst. The whole land was then filled with song, there was no illness, and every animal could talk--or so they say. Eventually, however, the Igmerinds chose to assert themselves as the rulers of the land, drew their swords against the peaceful Goxal, and spilled their blood. Since then, the primeval music has vanished from the land, although it is remembered in the name of Song Deep; some hint of it may yet remain in the lapping Song Deeps' waters. Generations passed, and the Goxal and the Igmerinds gradually intermixed. It is from them that the native Arangothian humans of today are descended.

	Tagran reigned for thirty-one years. His son Arduin reigned for twenty-seven years; Arduin's son Amurath reigned for six years, but his reign was cut short when he suddenly fell ill and died young. Amurath's younger brother, Forban, ascended the throne of Arangoth and reigned for thirty-seven years. During Forban's reign, his son, Prince Herbord, was the commander of the Arangothian armies. During the four years when the Griffon King Karos waged war upon the land of Elvendeep, Prince Herbord led the Arangothian forces which entered the war on the side of the elves. The Griffon King was finally forced to withdraw after he suffered a terrible neck injury. That same year, Prince Herbord's son Anskar was born. Herbord later ascended to the throne and reigned for sixteen years, and following his reign, Anskar reigned for forty-one years. In the reign of King Anskar occurred the Fall of the House of Silad. From this point onwards, the King would appoint governors to the outlying provinces, rather than rely on hereditary succession.		Tagran reigned for thirty-one years.

	The first state which arose upon the territory of Arangoth was the Grand Duchy ~~[sitharang]~~ of [[Leptatarna]], bordering upon Song Deep. The first historically well-documented ruler was Folvaholk the Great, Grand Duke [sithire] of Leptatarna. His tomb of tall megaliths stands atop a great hill, and the inscription there names him as Folvaholk, Grand Duke of Leptatarna, son of the mighty Fenduth, Grand Duke of Leptatarna.

	Folvaholk the Great built roads connecting other Arangothian-inhabited areas to Leptatarna, among them the great north-south highway that passes through the mountains of Ruthmarna and connects Inner Arangoth to the [[Darian River\|Darian]] valley in the south, where the city of Drache later arose. He subjected the dwarves of Ruthmarna to his authority, and coerced them into swearing fealty to him by threatening to deprive them of the foodstuffs from Leptatarna on which they subsisted. He established his son Kukarek as Grand Duke of Ruthmarna, and from that point onward, the heir to the Grand Duchy of Leptatarna--and later to the throne of the Kingdom of Arangoth--always held the title Grand Duke of Ruthmarna.

	In olden times, however, there was no king of Arangoth; instead, each of the Grand Dukes was considered equal to the others. When conflicts arose among them, they generally warred among themselves at the expense of many lives and much money. These conflicts generally kept the land in perpetual misery, because none of the Grand Dukes could agree on the span or borders for different Grand Duchies.
