In 176 A.I., King Gwayne V Gardener and Queen Elenei I Durrandon launched a joint campaign against Duskendale, aiming both to liberate the Gauntlet and to bring the Darklyns under tribute.

In 180 A.I., Queen Elenei I Durrandon passed away, and her daughter, Queen Vika I Durrandon—a bastard daughter of King Gwayne V Gardener—succeeded her. With her accession, the First Kingdom fractured, though Vika sought to maintain a close friendship with the Gardeners. | |||
