The San River, which saw many battles in its history, was a battle site during the start of World War II in Europe. During that time it was known as Galicia. This region, including the area west and east of the Subcarpathian Voivodship, was controlled by Austria for almost 120 years. Between 17 it belonged to the Austrian empire, which became the Austro-Hungarian empire when the double monarchy was introduced. In 1018 it returned to Poland, in 1031 reverted to Rus, and in 1340 was recovered by Casimir III of Poland.ĭuring the years 966–1018, 1340–1772 (the Ruthenian Voivodeship) and 1918–1939, the region was part of Poland. This area was mentioned for the first time in 981 (by Nestor), when Volodymyr the Great of Kievan Rus took the area over on his way into Poland. The region then became a site of contention between Poland, Kievan Rus and Hungary starting in around the 9th century. Upon the invasion of the Hungarian tribes into the heart of the Great Moravian Empire around 899, the Lendians of the area declared their allegiance to the Hungarian Empire. The region subsequently became part of the Great Moravian state. The San valley must have become an important trade-route and axis of human settlement as early as the 9th or 10th century. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Hungarians and Slavs invaded the area. In the pre-Roman era various tribes, including the Celts, Goths and Vandals ( Przeworsk culture and Puchov culture) Humans had first settled the southeastern region of present-day Poland (the Subcarpathian Voivodeship or Podkarpacie) in prehistoric times. Historical records first mention the river in 1097 as Sanъ, reku Sanъ, k Sanovi then as nad Sanomъ (1152) and Sanu (1287). The False and the Faithless as well as the souls of the dead also populated the city.This section needs expansion. Inhabitants įollowers of Kelemvor and Jergal in life were given positions of authority in the city. In the Great Wheel cosmology, the city existed in the Fugue plane as the location where the souls of the dead waited to be claimed by their respective deities, but the Wall of the Faithless and Kelemvor's realm were located in the City of the Dead, a distinct location in the Oinos layer of Hades. These captured souls were used to spawn new low-level demons to swell the demonic ranks or to feed their masters. Occasionally, raiding demons would tear souls from the wall and return with them to the Abyss. The mold held the souls while their essence was slowly dissolved away to nothingness. They formed the bricks of the wall and were held in place by a supernatural greenish mold. Īccording to those same cosmologies, the wall surrounding the city, known as the Wall of the Faithless, consisted of the souls of those judged as the Faithless by Kelemvor. The Crystal Spire, home to Kelemvor and Jergal, stood in the center of the city according to the World Tree and World Axis cosmologies.
The city was built on a flat featureless plain underneath a perpetually gray sky.
