The Walentian dynasty originated in the hills and basins north of the Ruvilian Plain. It was the dynasty
that in Ruvila's history was the most enthusiastic about implementing a centralized system of government.
The Walentian kings, with the help of the Tarab Order and a private army of mercenaries directly under
the king, continuously weakened the privileges of the knights, ultimately triggering the massive "Rogosh",
the legitimate uprising of the Knights' Council.

Due to intervention from Earth, the royalist army was ultimately defeated. The Knights' Council still
allowed the Walentian family to legally possess their ancestral homeland as knights and the royal family
never showed the same tolerance towards the "rebels." Therefore, relations between the kingdom and the
republic remained strained for decades. Under the official propaganda of the Ruvila Republic, "nuns"
and "mercenaries" became synonymous with tyranny capable of silencing even the most nagging children.
But even adults could see that a backward, conservative regime confined to a corner of the world posed
no real threat to the powerful civilization of Earth and the kingdom of knights.
