History

Kloss began as one of the founding states of the early Crandish Republic around 1317 ASC. Prior to that the earliest inhabitants were from the Royal Isles of Aquaria, who had a major settlement called Oceana on the site of what would eventually become the city of Kloss. Originally situated further east along the shores of the Clear Sea, internecine warfare caused the Klossen to migrate south, pushing the Saksens and Balduvii further west. Eventually the settled at the base of the Clear Sea around the Koniglich Peninsula. The ruins of Oceana provided cleared land and ample resources for the Klossen to build a new settlement. Kloss soon positioned itself as the primary state within Cranda, with the city of Kloss serving as the palatial home of the Kings of Cranda, remaining as such even during the union with Arminy. After the collapse of Arminy, Kloss fell under the sway of Gralus and became part of Novatainia.
