The fall of Malad-Mîn (507 HE - 86) splintered the population into two groups. Those that went to the dark harbor of Thûr-Damazandal, were ferried 2500 miles down the subterranean river Damazandal. At Nûl-Bazân, a place built for such an event, the refugees began the rebuilding. Mostly Turkûn, preferring to be close to the surface, they tunneled up. Two years, after founding the settlement of Phaluth, the Nûl-Bazân and Phaluth came together, forming the Kingdom of Phlehorn.

Several Turkûn states came from Phlehorn's settlers. Some were established by clans seeking to start their own holding independent of Phlehorn. In 425, far from the kingdom's heartland, poorly supplied, the city of Tarbhunarâg legally separated from the crown of Phlehorn; two years later becoming the Daklode Monarchy.

In the Year 612, those that left for the Khizunul mountains would go on to found the Hjalmarbrodd Monarchy. In 639, Tallsard and other coastal holds, culturally different to the Turkûn of the interior, legally ceded from the crown, becoming the Grimmarsveinn syndicate.

In 760, for religious reasons, the clan of Gibil-Nâru gave up their citizenship; eventually becoming the Fargimdal Monarchy.

In 901, Phlehorn exiled 2,000 hardened criminals. To be sent-off to a remote prison, they dyed their beards red in a sign of unity against their oppressors; earning the name Bloodbeards. On orders of the King, who was under the charm of a demon artifact, the prisoners were magically teleported to an ancient ruin named Hezvix.

In 1080, Phlehorn's armies were driven from the Earth Shrine. The wounded that went back to Phaluth and others holds carried a gift from the plague god Rioch Tetrax, the Earth Skin Rot. A virulent disease, over three months it killed 80% of Phlehorn's people; its survivors became citizens of Daklode, Hjalmarbrodd, and Fargimdal.
