In 5211 Aleranus II the Less of Bolden was sentenced to the High Throne. He served at the same time as his brother Anastorin who was elected Patriarch of the Church of Westrun during the same period.
Aleranus II the Less was succeeded in 5231 by Dane III the Learned. Dane was long-lived and was a lover of knowledge. During his reign, he prosecuted the War of the Northern Marches through his military advisor the so-called Iron Duke of Bolden.
Eventually Dane III the Learned came to an untimely end, choking on his supper and was succeeded by his now Chancellor General Halinard, the so-called Iron Duke. Halinard ruled the Eight Kingdoms seemingly finding one reason or another to avoid an Counsel of Monarch's to choose Dane's successor.
In 5283, Aleranus III of Bolden came to an untimely end in a hunting accident. His cousin, Halinard the Ironfist became the King of Bolden through a questionable claim which was nevertheless validated by the High Throne. By the end of the same year, Halinard became High King of all Westrun by the unanimous vote of the monarchs of the Eight Kingdoms. His first official act was to appoint his brother as the Steward of Bolden.
In 5284 the War of the Northern Marches had been brought to the very Gates of Wanderhalt. A three day seige of that city was broken by the rise of Aleyn, the rightful king of Collonia, and his companions. Thus the crown of Collonia was restored, the goblins defeated and the authority of Halinard as High King was ratified.
Halinard Geldorf reigns to this day as High King of all Westrun and the Free Provinces.
