Seldez is the youngest of the major powers, and reached its current borders within the past thirty years under the guidance of Vactor Adelu. A half-human, half-Shal fighter, Adelu seized control through a military coup, over-throwing a half-mad ruler, and then spent the next thirty years expanding Seldez’s boundaries. He moved first west, and ended by building fortifications near the rivers along the western borders. He then moved east, sacking the Shal-controlled city of Wyndham and threatening to move into Darilei and through the League. He was pushed back by Council and League forces at Bense, which was burned to the ground during a final battle by Adelu’s forces against the Council army and a corps of Politi mages under the command of Kallin So.

The fortuitous capture of So (the son of Ellinden So, the Lady of Sutton and a member of the High Council) allowed Adelu to bargain for peace – and to keep control of all his lands, after relinquishing control of Wyndham and the now-destroyed Bense, as well as gaining a seat on the High Council itself.
