The Kingdom of the Sun was the first kingdom in Frigus. The capital city, Sunhold, was founded in 2925 BU and expanded into a kingdom in 2898 BU when the city of Riverhold was founded.

Founding
The Kingdom of the Sun was technically founded in 2898 BU when Riverhold, the first city founded by an expedition group sent from Sunhold, was founded. The leaders of Sunhold believed that expanding their kingdom would please the sun and bring prosperity to their people. After the first three loyal cities, Riverhold, Starhold, and Dawnhold, were founded the city entered into a long period of fast development and prosperity. The other five major cities of the empire, Adaris, Day Break, Marinoch, Goldenhall, and Trellech, were founded and the Kingdom of the Sun reached its final size.

The Night's Voyage
The kings of the Kingdom of the Sun had long maintained that the region they controlled, everything south of the Rays, was the only place in the world that was blessed by the sun. They refused to allow anyone to cross the rivers and explore the territory that lied beyond. A group from Riverhold decided they wanted to cross the Rays, they were curious about the world beyond their kingdom. This group went to the kings in Sunhold and asked if they had their blessing to travel beyond the rivers and claim the land beyond for the kingdom.
