Monarkan I's son, Notger, Duke of Koenigsburg, harbored dreams of building an Empire stretching from one ocean to another. Upon his father's death in 297, Notger swiftly decided to conquer the north, with Nasgaroth, the dark elf country, as his ultimate goal. Encountering minimal initial resistance, he established a fortress bearing his name to serve as a base for Nasgaroth's conquest.
