In their haste to find shelter from the rising moon Vander's father and aunt unknowingly entered into Mistletoe Valley, after spotting a small cave across The Field of Frozen Roses, rushing towards the cave the pair missed the approach of a young elven woman carrying a large backpack. Passing by The Field of Frozen Roses without entering it she approached them while waving to leave. Seeing that the sun had almost set they knew that they didn't have much time before they would transform and they both broke into a sprint for the cave. Seeing them suddenly charge into the pass the woman ran to intercept them while yelling in heavily accented common to 'Stop running! 'Wait!'.

Ignoring her they continued running, making it into the cave as the sunset, followed quickly by the elf.

The The Kingdom of Phantonis is a small country that is several hundred years old, being just a few hundred years older that The Kingdom of Burgdalin, that recently joined the Empire of Burgdalin. Phantonis is situated in the central-eastern region of Burgdalin and above The Kingdom of Galmoer which resides in the south-eastern region of Burgdalin. Their economy is based in agricultural trade with the Empire, contributing to well over half of their yearly GPD, with most of the remaining portion coming from traders traveling too and Devlutte.

Almost a century ago King Typhos of Phantonis besieged Mistletoe Valley under the claim that the elves had taken the far eastern reaches of Mistletoe Valley from The Kingdom of unjustly several hundred years ago. This siege lasted for a few years, destroying many elven villages in the process, coming to a halt after the elves beat back their attackers to the entrance of the pass and relinquished some territory outside of the valley in exchange for an armistice.
