The Princes of Erenes VIII: Law and Chaos in the Principalities

Long ago the Principalities were ruled by noble Houses which built glittering Alds that rose to the sky. But the Alds were eventually abandoned and became the possession of lesser men.

Into this land came Ris, who is sometimes called the Hound of Law, and sometimes the white god. By his side was Kels, who is sometimes called the Grimalkin of Chaos, and sometimes the black goddess. From a conflict over the sea, they fled to the shores of the Principalities. Because news of their coming was noised far and wide, the Black Princes of Florenia, Genia, and Matinia came out to meet them on the sea.

But not all of them together were strong enough to oppose Ris. He sank their ships and set their men adrift. Then Ris lashed the Black Princes who had opposed him to the prows of his vessels and went next to the Danello Isles.

But the Black Princes of Belolia, Iglesia, Novaria, Comaria, Leccia, Pordenia, and Ferraria would not submit at his landing. So Ris and Kels fought against them and in the power of their fury struck terror into the hearts of all men. These were the Wars of Subjugation and when the fury was spent, the islands were no more, for they had been swallowed by the waves. 

When Ris and Kels made landfall at Benonia on the mainland, their Black Princes came out to show them obeisance. Then Kels danced above the water which divided Westrun from the Principalities and many saw her and were charmed.
