Seeking vengeance for the subjugation of his kingdom, the King of the Giants amassed an army in a vengeful counter-invasion of Drangleic. The peace would eventually be broken, however. With Nashandra at his side, Drangleic entered a prolonged period of peace and prosperity. Using this newly acquired power, Vendrick created various types of Golems, who in turn built the mighty Drangleic Castle. This experimentation gave Vendrick a better understanding of the nature of the soul and lead to the creation of the Golems. During this conflict, he pillaged the Giant's lands, stealing an unknown "prize" from them, and took an unspecified amount of them captive to experiment on back in Drangleic. King Vendrick took Nashandra as his queen and crossed the ocean to invade the land of the Giants. Sorcery appears to have been tolerated, but the king held a low opinion of miracles.Īccording to legend, a mysterious woman named Nashandra, said to be of unparalleled beauty, came to Vendrick long ago and warned him of a looming threat across the seas, in the land of the Giants.

The king favoured strength of arms, and soldiers who would stake their every battle on strength alone. With the help of his brother, Lord Aldia, Drangleic prospered. Vendrick, the once great king of Drangleic, built his great kingdom on the ruins of the other kingdoms that preceded his, and on the souls of the Great Ones.
