Before the wars, Resh was a highly isolated kingdom. They were ruled by a theocracy who worshipped the Babylonian gods. However, some time ago, these gods were apparently killed by the Godslayer.

When Backbone fell to the Orc armies in 1098, hundrerds of thousands of people were displaced. While most took ships to The King's Island and beyond, many could not afford this travel and so fled to Resh on foot. A combination of the great marshland (where Lizardfolk live) and Resh's isolationism whittled those refugees down to a bare minimum. But even that small number was enough to push the nation to adopt a more friendly attitude toward outsiders.

Then, in 1104, a mysterious hero arrived who defeated a group of evil cultists who were intent on summoning the Godslayer to appear in the flesh. This evil group had operated in secret without the citizens of Resh even being aware of their presence.

While the hero died in the fight, he disrupted the cult enough that the Resh populace was able to stamp them out for good. A statue was erected in honor of this mysterious hero. And since his name was unknown, they simply named him “Fighter”.

After the chaos of the cult, it was revealed that the ruling theocracy had lost their powers. They were replaced by a warlord named Helmer – who eventually installed a new form of government and helped open the society to the outside world.
