Elroode I came to power in the year 640 in the petty kingdom of Arthia, a small, centrally located province on the northern continent of Easorhn. He immediately went on a campaign of conquest, eventually controlling most of modern day Greater Arthia. Sometime in 644 he took the title High King to denote his expanding conquest and added the prefix 'Greater' to his much-expanded realm of Arthia. Upon his death without an heir, his crown was taken by his seneschal, Kargon. It's borders have since stayed more or less the same and the people have drifted ever more towards lawful evil over the centuries.

The populace assume that the last 8 kings of this empire are showing respect for their ancestors by taking the name of his predecessors; this couldn't be farther from the truth. All eight kings named Kargon were, in fact, the same being. Kargon was, in fact, a cambion and used this ruse to keep the population from rising up against his tyranny with the full knowledge of the Arthian Council of Ministers.
