History
Not much is known about the kingdom, though just prior to the Conjunction, it was ruled over by Queen Neera, who was protected by the Serpent Clan. Xin'trea's new king, Alvitir, wished to end all the fighting as famine was hitting everyone, and so worked out a deal to gift their mines in Sliabh Liath to Neera in return for her agreement to peace.
However, when Neera and her Serpent Clan showed up in Xin'trea to sign the treaty, they unknowingly walked into a trap with the rest of the monarchies and their own clans as Merwyn, who had no intention of becoming a footnote in history, planned a coup. Neera and the rest quickly met their ends when they were set upon by an otherworldly beast. Darwen was then absorbed into the Golden Empire under Empress Merwyn.
