Greater Alagad was a small state that was formed in the 870s and lasted till 1572. There is a rather interesting and haunting story behind it: The people of Alagad, in 1671, were suspicious of their new ruler who was called, <s><u>'''''ẹ̴̈̆̉̐́̒é̸̜̩͚͌́̃͗͜'''þ̸̧̣̬̙͂̑͑"̵̢̪̞̃̍͑̈́͠ø̶͍̦͉̞̘̂́͐ç̶̧̼̤̯͍̃͐͊̀͘å̴̱̰̿ê̶̹̺̈́͗̅̃̚''</u></s>, as he supposedly had been involved with inhuman experiments. One day, a group of young salovian men decided to break into the kings laboratory. The things they found are unknown but they were horrible enough for the people of Alagad to revolt. Even the king's guards supported the public. The king was dethroned and was thrown in the prison in his own palace. A week later, the new king was crowned. The public breathed a sigh of relief. However, one night, the soldier meant to guard the former king's cell saw that he was gone. No break out, no attempt to leave, no body, just vanished. A few hours later, the palace was aflame. No one knew how the inferno started or whether anyone in the palace survived. The fires spread to nearby buildings at a rapid rate and people were ablaze. The account gets hazy after this. The next day, people were found dead in the hundreds due to aan unkown disease. The waters wereturned crimson red. The nearby vegetation turned grey. The people who fled the city lived and called this the curse of Alagada. Very few of the remaining people lived and those who did, died a few years later. When the people returned to the city, they saw nothing. It was the same city except it was in ruins and there were no people. The palace seemed fine however. The people who stayed back and lived, said that they had seen the fallen god. The god that had come to punish us for killing the king. This is the Maist tale of the fallen king who still sits on the throne of Alagad in the palace even today.
