Griswold was the first human empire. A long, long time ago, Griswold flourished, however as other nations began to rise Griswold began its decline. Eventually, Griswold was left a tiny nation deprived of any real power and was wiped out by Chaos during its time of need.
Recently, the last king of Griswold (Aldorain) returned to Griswold and rallied an undead army for an attack against Chaos. The attack was successful, however Aldorain was slain in honorable combat, leaving Griswold forever deprived of a true bloodline.
