History

Vallahan has been both enemy and ally to Prythian in different historical eras. The country has a "hot-tempered king and proud people."

After the War five hundred years ago, Vallahan seized a considerable amount of land.

Ianthe's father was one of Tamlin's strongest allies in the Spring Court and a captain in his forces. Her father sensed the trouble that was occurring in Prythian and fled from Amarantha's rule. They lived there for fifty years, and returned only afterwards, when the harm and death was over.

A Court of Wings and Ruin

According to the princes of Hybern, Dagdan and Brannagh, Vallahan planned to join Hybern in the war to bring down the Wall and re-enslave the mortals, as it had been one of the loyalists kingdoms of slavery in the previous war.
