Paral

Founding
The Kingdom of Paral was one of three monster kingdoms prior to The War For Humanity. The kingdom's first ruler was Ausgrid Dreemurr. Ausgrid was the only elected ruler of the kingdom. Ausgrid spent the first 200 years of the kingdom's lifespan in building up its economy to match that of their neighbors, the kingdoms of Tarus and Zekar.

First Contact
Paral was the first monster kingdom to have contact with human explorers that came from beyond the great mountain range dividing the continent. It was Ausgrid that took great efforts to establish friendly relationships with the human kingdoms beyond, becoming a leading example for the Tarus and Zekar kingdoms.

Civil War
The Paral Civil War was incited shortly after King Ausgrid and Queen Eleanora were both assassinated on December 13th, 595. Their son, Prince Asgrid Dremurr was crowned the day after, and his first act was to launch investigations into the murders, uncovering a group of radicalists who disagreed heavily with the monarchy's direction when it came to interactions with their human neighbors.

Civil war erupted in the heart of the kingdom, and Asgrid had several closer brushes with death. The war lasted 3 years, ending officially on March 13, 598. Asgrid established a more direct rule, showing grace to his subjects, but being constantly wary of outsiders.

The Nations Collapse
The Paral Kingdom joined forces with the kingdoms of Tarus and Zekar, in a valiant effort to repel relentless attacks from human armies during The War For Humanity. In the end though, the people were pushed back from the coastline all the way to the mountain range. King Asgrid was killed in the waning days of the war, leaving his only son Asgore Dreemur to take the reigns. Asgore pulled the military back, seeing that it was not a war they could win. While Tarus and Zekar were both brutally wiped out, Asgore's quick thinking allowed Paral to just barely escape. It was he who made the final decision to retreat into the depths of Mount Ebott, where they would be sealed for nearly 200 years.

The Paral Kingdom soon gained a nickname of quite simply being 'The Monster Kingdom', since it was so ethnically diverse in the monsters that lived below ground. Despite the nickname, the official title still remains the Kingdom of Paral, and officially it is the only monarchy still standing to this day.
