==== Background ====
The Tuva Plains and the Kro river have been great lands for settlements since the ancient times. Mysterious people lived in its northern parts, but their name is unknown. After they faded away, the ones who would form Krohil came to be, settling around the town of Kro'ushro. They were led by the Zhreg, a hereditary monarch, and they expanded across the Kro, which they regarded sacred. They formed the empire of Krohil. During these times, a dynastic crisis would make the twin brother of the Zhreg at that time go down the river and found Kriavnya. They kept amicable relations. Krohil would fall after several internal conflicts with causes only remembered by the wise men of Jevoghnya, the other great town that was part of Krohil.
The lands of the Kro'ev have never been united under a sole ruler. During ancestral times, the river was ruled by the Old Krohil. After its fall, their southern descendants took the name of Kro'ev. Their first recorded settlement, which stands to this day, is Kryushro, known then as Kro'ushro. Their Zhreg (Rulers) would found the towns of Kriavnya and Kroyhra ( known today as Flagstaff ). Their rule was weak and the peasants of Kro'ushro and Kroyhra rebelled, forming the Kro'ev Confederation. The merchant town of Kriavnya remains led by the descendants of the old Zhreg to this day. The Confederation would go on to become unstable as well, and decades prior to the rise of the IAKV, would welcome the town of Jevoghnya as their overlords. The lands of Kroyhra remained independent, leading to the rise of the movement known as Durajaregh or the Legion, led by the figure known as Caesar. Kro'ushro would become a shade of its former glory, only an agricultural outpost for their Jevokro'ev overlords. By the time the Legion conquest had begun, the town was a mere village surrounded by several farms, out-shined by the port of Kriavnya, which stood independent.
 
They would go down on separate ways, and the fall of Krohil would prompt the twin cities to unite under the Confederation of Kro'ushro, also known as the Kro'ev Confederation. Crisis would strike it as well as Kro'ushro sought to gain control of Kriavnya, but failed. The towns would part ways. Settlers from Kro'ushro founded the town of Kroyhra, later called Flagstaff during this time, becoming known for its great farms. Kriavnya would establish to lands far away such as [[Adina]]. Kroyhra and Kro'ushro fought a deadly war for the former's independence, after which Kro'ushro fell into decline. The once great city was no more than a market town on the road from Kroyhra to Kriavnya and down to Jevoghnya. There, the Zhreg of Kro'ushro would welcome the Jevo'yev as their overlords, who would become the new hegemons of the Tuva Plains. The memory of the ancestral times was not lost as those who sought to see Krohil rise again gathered in Kroyhra, joining with the one called as Caesar and his Legion. A pact was signed between those two.
 
Kro'ushro would become no more than a village and a colony for Jevoghnya during this time, as they based a part of their agricultural production here. By now it would become known as Kryuhsro, regarded by the Kro'ev romanticists as a sign of the dark ages they were living in.
 
==== The Legion War ====
The Legion gained control of Kroyhra, re-named to Flagstaff to mark the dawn of their rule. Soon, Kro'ushroKryushro fell as well, while Kriavnya turned to them for protection, becoming part of them as well. While not a Kro'ev movement itself, it quickly became popular within them, especially after Caesar claimed successorship from the Old Krohil. Vujanya and Jevoghnya soon followed, and eventually the desert tribes to the West were subdued. Within the Legion's ranks, the one referred to as Kyarvas came to wage war against [[Threlkeld]] and Boria against the old fortress of the Kro'ev, Arrakeen, in the Sunset Desert. The dispute was settled with him receiving rule of Kyavul. Later, he would return to his lands and take hold of the old Kro'ev towns, basing from Flagstaff, which was expanded. The town of Kryushro, now its capital, was planned to become a marvelous city and a formidable fortress.
