* = capitol

Criksrad is a land that was lightly populated with very few barbarians at the time of the invastion by the Hestrillites. The land was mainly inhabited by refugees from Varanady and elves from the Lorish forest and other humanoids. When the Hestrillites invaded the barbarian territories, the inhabitants of the lands which had no name (later to be called "Criksrad") were largely unaffected by the fighting that raged on mainly to the north. They had seen enough war and desolation brought on by the Queen of Varanady and wanted no part of the fighting so stayed out of it.

When the barbarians were eventually beaten back to the south, Regdon's forces invaded the Criksrad lands and were met with no resistance. The territory was indoctrinated as part of the newly-formed Kingdom of Regdon, much to the chagrin of the former Varanady citizens. For many years the people there chafed at the taxation and rulership of the lords put in charge of their lands. In the year 722 in the 4th Age of Man, a large force of drow elves poured out of the western Votack Mountains and began making their way south toward the vital trade ports on the shores of the Tarsis Gulf.

In true fashion, the former Varanadians offered no resistance and allowed the dark army to move unchallenged toward their destination despite the fevered calls to arms by the Regdon lords. A man known as Edbar Criksrad stepped up and began negotiating with the king. He said he would rally the people and push the drow back to their underground lairs. The price would be to give him rulership over the lands, which would become a barony in his name. The king relented but made it clear that the newly named territory of Criksrad would still be part of the Kingdom of Regdon. True to his word, Ebar rallied his people to arms. They marched against the drow, who, most surprisingly, retreated with nary a drop of blood spilled. This was a great relief to all, and the victory over the drow was celebrated across the kingdom.

After the fall of Varanady, Edbar was approached by Count Maharool. Both lands had lost many men in the conflict that had nearly swallowed the entire southern half of the continent, and each leader agreed that they were owed. Banding together, they demanded independence from the King of Regdon, threatening war if their demands weren't met. Having lost so many of his forces, not to mention facing the threat of losing his southern port, the king gave in. The two lands became independent countries after signing solid alliances with each other for mutual protection and trade.
