Long ago the Gold King had rule over many countries, he was a wise and fair king and allowed land to split from his rule if he believed they were able to sustain themselves as their own country. Many lands took the oppurtunity to grow and leave the kingdom starting their own peaceful relationships with the king as allies. One particular section of land, however was never given the chance to leave due to the lack of leadership qualities in their "King". Amdellon, The gold King, refused to allow such a barbaious, aggressive man lead a kingdom of those just like him knowing it would only lead to war. The group formed an army with foreign lands to over throw the Gold King and take his land. Luckily for some, one of the countries reached out to the Gold King as a warning as to what was to come and he started to evacuate his people to other lands and even other worlds. The Gold KIng was not too long after, overthrown by the rebellion and his wonderous kingdom was buned to ashes. The legacy of the Gold King lives on in the hearts and souls of those who were given safe passage and from them came to Foundlings. The Foundlings are a group growing in numbers every year, a group made up of all those with ties to the Gold King. These men, women and children are given garbs to pay tribute to the Gold King as a symbol of who they are. They dress in white clothing with golden detail and a gold cape over their left shoulder as the king once did. These people, the Foundlings, have since the coming together of the "House of Kings" have saut to bring justice to theirs kingdom's untimely fall and continue to remain loyal to the man that lead them for many years, the Gold King.
