In the ages before the foundation of the [[Adrestian Empire]], there took place a legend involving ten heroes that fought against a man known as the Liberation King [[Nemesis]]. Afterwards, the [[Church of Seiros]] is said to have aided in establishing the Adrestian Empire.<ref>{{Cite web| quote=The Church of Seiros, which is deeply rooted in Fódlan, was founded by the Divine Seiros. In the distant past, they fought against the Liberation King Nemesis during the War of Heroes, to restore order to Fódlan. It’s said they helped to establish the Adrestian Empire as well. | author=VincentASM | published=May 15th 2019 | retrieved =May 16th 2019 | url=https://serenesforest.net/2019/05/15/three-houses-second-famitsu-article-skills-crests-battalions-academy/ | title=<nowiki>Three Houses: Second Famitsu Article (Skills, Crests, Battalions and Academy)</nowiki> | site=Serenesforest.net}}</ref> At its founding, the Empire held dominion across the entire continent. | |||
Adrestia's grip on the land did not last. At some point, the [[Holy Kingdom of Faerghus]] and the [[Leicester Alliance]] split into their own domains, severing themselves from Adrestia; this plunged continent into war and bloodshed.<ref name=peace>{{Cite web| quote=As time passed, the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus became independent, and later the Leciester Alliance split off as well. A long war was fought over supremacy. However, in the present era, the nations exist in equilibrium and it’s largely thanks to the Church of Seiros. | author=VincentASM | published=May 15th 2019 | retrieved =May 16th 2019 | url=https://serenesforest.net/2019/05/15/three-houses-second-famitsu-article-skills-crests-battalions-academy/ | title=<nowiki>Three Houses: Second Famitsu Article (Skills, Crests, Battalions and Academy)</nowiki> | site=Serenesforest.net}}</ref> | |||
