History
The Graycliff Royal Family was originally a powerful royal family from a far off continent that travelled to Elsia during the Discovery Age. They were originally named the Gray-Feather Family and would start off the Age of Blood. The Age of Blood began when the Gray-Feather Family launched a surprise invasion against the Elven Empire.

After the War for Elsia was over, the Gray-Feather Family had won and took the city of Roupwell and renamed it into Graycliff. The Gray-Feathers in Graycliff and at home had a dispute where the two decided to split up. The Gray-Feathers in Elsia would become the Graycliffs.

In the following years the people who lived in the slums were outraged due to the families incompetency and inaction to support the people in poverty. Soon, other citizens would become angry after the family refused to do anything when citizens living outside of the city, such as farmers and fishers, were attacked by a cyclops. The attacks would continue until a small group of people would take matters into their own hands and hunt down the cyclops. These men would become the Templar Order of Roupwell. Soon after this the city of Arx would sell Graycliff patents for blasting powder, cannons, and muskets.

Afterwards, border disputes began between Graycliff and Magnonia began. Magnonia wanted more and more land and was getting aggressive with neighboring nations. Eventually, Magnonia would launch a surprise attack against the Kingdom of Alveare and Graycliff. This would begin the Great War, and would massively damage the economy and many lives would be lost. Insurgency groups would rise up in the slums of Graycliff as there was mass famine. The state of Graycliff is very poor currently.
