Valtia is a long-lost isle of wonderment, and was once the center of a great empire called the Valtian Free State, but was completely destroyed in a cataclysm. At its prime, the Valtian Free State was an advanced civilization and the dominant military and cultural power of Micras conquering or subduing many other nations, including Viken. Valtia is the ancestral home of the House of Ettlingar Freyu as well as the spiritual predecessor of the High Realm of Stormark and Froyalan. Valtia's location is lost to time and is of the biggest mysteries of Micran history.
Destruction
Valtia was destroyed when it sank into the sea on a winter night in cataclysmic event known as Valtias Forlǫg which occurred nearly a thousand Asgard Calendar years ago. None of the inhabitants of Valtia survived its destruction, save for a few families who left Valtia just before its destruction.
The House of Ettlingar Freyu escaped the disaster because the Lady Freyja had forewarned them and told them to flee to the Mysterious Isles.
Legacy
To this very day Vatlian cuisine, medicine, and crafts and arts are highly valued in Froyalan and items, objects and artifacts from the Days of Valtia, such as Valtian Steel blades and Valtian Silk clothing, are extreme status symbols. Valtian customs are still adhered to in many parts of Froyalan, and Sagas about life in Valtia also remain very popular.
