== History of Bloodwode Fortress and The Empire ==
Bloodwode Fortress was originally the Capitol City of the Bloodvale Empire which began in the year 359 NT as a small group of nomadic warriors. Tired of moving from place to place, they started a small settlement, 16 men strong. Soon, the settlement began to grow. Traders, workers, other warriors, and even members of other groups came and made their home in the settlement, which the warriors had named "Bloodwode", an honorific to their tendancy tendency to be crazed by the blood of their enemies, to lust for war.
398 NT, Bloodwode was renamed Bloodwode Fortress and had nearly 300 people living in it. The city itself had become fortified to prevent raiding attacks, and smaller settlements had begun branching out from it's original location. In all, combined with the main settlement of Bloodwode Fortress and the outlying villages, the area was pushing 600 citizens.
450 NT, Bloodwode Fortress had grown to almost 1500 citizens and controlled nearly 50 other settlements around it, totaling nearly 4000 citizens. It had one of the largest standing militaries of that date, numbering close to 2250 soldiers and 750 archers. It was at this time that the council of the original Bloodwode Fortress, decendants descendants of the founding 16 warriors, decided they needed to permanently join together. As such, the Bloodvale Empire was formed, and all of the settlements that had been allied with Bloodwode Fortress agreed to coming under its rule.
