History
As Barantus, Luvania used to be a area covered by smaller independent kingdoms contesting each other- today known as the Luvians. The largest ones were Bremotte, Luvia and Kasilo. As well as contesting Bremotte to the north, Luvia were also contesting The Skilamrilusian Empire to the south. In 549 a war between Luvia and the Skilamrilusian Empire, known as The First Luvian War, broke out. It ended in 553 without any major border changes. In 562 however the two factions went to war again, during The Second Luvian War. During this war The Skilamrilusian Empire managed to defeat the luvians and conquer Luvia, thus ending the war in 569. It did not take a long time before the empire came in conflict with Bremotte, and in 575 The Third Luvian War began. In 578 a large skilamrian force marched towards Bremotte from the south-west. At the river Stream of Tears they met a united army of several of the local kingdoms from the areas today known as Luvania and Barantus. The kingdoms included: Bremotte, Kasilo, Krommel  and rebels from the now conquered Luvia. The battle is known as The Battle of Tears, due to the heavy losses on both sides, and the hopes of the many kingdoms being crushed. The battle also gave name to the river Stream of Tears.

Due to the armies of so many kingdoms being crushed, the Skilamrilusian Empire had an easy time conquering large parts of the area. At the end of the The Third Luvian War in 590, the empire had conquered so many kingdoms that they made it a new province in the empire. The province became known as Luvania.
