Alright so yes, there was an empire, I can concede that point. But there was no 'legate' rank, nor were there any wars for independence. All records seem to state that the fracturing of the Arathorian Empire happened peacefully, without major incident.

Now as a disclaimer, I don't disagree with creativity. My character Aretain for example, has a settlement in Terrokar. Now I -could- say that I waged a war for independence from the Alliance and that the Kingdom of Seedfall now exists in Terrokar and is ruled by King Aretain. Because it's my RP and my characters I generally have that right and no one can really refute it because it's entirely player made and controlled content and it has no connection to established kingdoms or noble houses.

But when people start making lore for established kingdoms and lore houses, that's when it gets messy because it's essentially a players ideas being forced on everyone else. I don't agree with that at all.
