History

Alejian Castle was built on the coast of Wintergleam by Harald of Ettlingar Freyu for Kaiser Alejian II in exchange for him being granted the County of Wintergleam by the Golden Mango Throne in the year 1516 as compensation for zir loss of the County of Araxion. The castle was never taken into possession by Alejian or claimed by, if any, his heirs and it faded into obscurity, while still over the centuries being dutifully maintained and kept up by the Comital Trust of Wintergleam. It was appropriated during the era of the Coordinated State and remained Elwynnese State property during the following periods of communist rule as well as the Ayreon-Kalirion Restoration in 1618 before being subsequently granted by King Noah of Elwynn in the year 1635 to the holder of the Prætorship of the Landsraad during the part of the Prætorial tenure of Princess Fjǫrleif Hallbjörnsdóttir that coincided with the reign of Kaiser Hjalmar (1635-1639).

On 9 Laemill 1644, in the Year of the Four Kaisers, Prætor Fjǫrleif Llængjarla, having escaped to Alejian Castle from the carnage of the Oustfest Massacre with the graceful assistence of the Landsraad Guard as well as the Groupe d'intervention et Tireurs d'Elite of the Fleur de Lys-Longships Guard, ordered that "the meeting place of the Imperial Electorate in the Landsraad assembled shall, until further notice by the Prætor, be the Prætorial holiday residence of Alejian Castle in the village of Harthyr in the Circuit of Wintergleam". On 20 Vixaslaa 1644 the Landsraad was officially convened at Alejian Castle by the Prætor. This session of the Landsraad would become known as the Alejian Castle session. A historic session for it is the first time since the days of the Cabbage Crisis, nigh half a century ago, that the Landsraad convenes outside the borders of the City of Shirekeep.
