The city of Millbridge, around the beginning of the First War of the Power (2203 - 2223 a.a.H), in market day.

While the dug cannal of "The Pit" and the wall -of segments of palisades and masonery- was the limit of the village, out of it there was a dense concentration of farmers cottages, and as well the Abbey of Saint Anita, Matron Saint of the Kingdom of Sargos.

Millbridge was surrounded by the King's Forest, a forest of the king that where his hunting grounds and only he could use for firewood or wood, reason that will keep for long a green belt of forests around the settlement.

Millbridge was rather lightly defended by the time of the First War of the Power, with only the wall of The Pit, and two wooden towers: the tower of the bridge, and the tower near the King's house, in the north of the small artificial island:

These defenses wouldn't be enough against the Dark Legion: the Kanovs and Ozcuras of the Dark Legion crossed the Mill Bridge, sacking the city, and dragons will burn down the city, only remaining the charred stones that where later used to rebuild the city after the war.




Millbridge was a city of the north-western human Aelian Kingdom of Sargos.

The Human Kingdoms of the North-West (as Sargos, Degland, La Cruz, Huncle and Tardos) where founded around the same time at the 1.727 a.a.H, from the inherited lands of the sucessors of king Aleks of the Weseuros, being these five kingdoms founded by the different Weseuros Tribes.

The area of Millbridge had seen in the previous centuries some other settlements -high elven and Kanov- but rather than a high elven city as often later the Millbridgers will fantasy about, it was only some farmers villages.

In time of King Aleks of the Weseuros, in a bend of the Osorio river there was located a Mill, which was a concession of the King to grind the grain of the region, being know this Mill as the Kingsmill.

However, for the inhabitants of the western bank of the river, needing to cross the river to go to grind their grain, they eventually builded a bridge over the Osorio river, which will be simply called the Mill Bridge.

For when King Aleks of the Weseuros passed out and the Five Kingdoms where founded, Millbridge was already a village in the western bank of the river, and will be the place King Camilo I of Sargos will choose to be the capital of the newly founded kingdom -taxing not anymore only the mill, but as well the bridge crossing.

The village turned capitol will slowly grow, and for the end of the second millenia since the apparition of humanity (2.000 a.a.H), the Sargonic king, to found the War of the Clover against Huncle, will build a tower in the Millbridge with a dawbridge, so the Osorio river navegation could expand... and as well, to tax the ships crossing Millbridge.

During the 2100-2150, will be the first attemps to give some fortifications to the small city, being digged a trench that was flooded with the rivers waters, that made Millbridge into a small island, being builded some stone walls to the west.

However, for the First War of the Power, when the Armies of the Dark Legion arrived at the 2208 a.a.H, Millbridge was almost defendless, and the demon armies crossed the bridge coming from the east: The city was sacked by the Ozcuras of the Dark Legion and their Kanov allies, and the city was burned by Dragons-fire.

After the end of the First War of the Power (2223 a.a.H) will come the time to rebuild the city. However, it remained only lightly fortified.
