== History ==
=== On Ispar ===
 
The young Milantos Empire is responsible for exterminating the [[Kael Arran]], a people who presaged the [[Gharu'ndim]] and the [[Roulean]]s, back in the earliest days of Milantean glory.. It took over 10 years and a hundred battles. At the place that would become known as the Red Sands, the Kael forsook their usual skirmish and retreat tactics as the Milantean Red filled the horizon from end to end. There was nowhere left to run. At the end of that day, over 50,000 Milantean Red soaked their last into the sands named after them. And the [[Kael Arran]] ceased to exist.<ref name=WritText>2001/11 [[The Gathering Storm]] - [[Writ of Refuge Text]]</ref>
