The Malvernian Empire broke off from the Faloran Empire after its last emperor died, turning the Halim peninsula and its sister island Jovinium into the [[Holy Dominion of Archanicus]]. As a result of the last emperor's death, tensions were high in the newly founded Dominion. Many believed that submitting to the will of the Archons was not in the best interests of humanity - and one Archon actually agreed with humanity.
The Faloran people originated far to the south of the current known world. When they discovered magic, that discovery was accompanied by a fanatical religion which saw them attempt to spread their Doctrine across the world. The Faloran peoples split up and migrated to spread their crusade in different directions.

This Archon was the Archon of Malvern. Records of his true motivations do not remain, at least not for the public eye, but what is known is that this Archon secured Malvern's independence from the Dominion. The shock of this event helped bring an end to the civil war in the Dominion.
Those that migrated north founded the city of Malvern. Malvern was, according to Faloran myth, the first great metropolis of the world. Whether true or not, Malvern has stood for roughly two-thousand years, and marked the capital of the first true Faloran Kingdom.

Malvern maintained its independence, the Archon split himself into lesser spirits, and then with the formation of a Tribunal, a new emperor was elected. The children of the original Archon went on to rule as equals alongside the people of Malvern, helping power their industry and lifestyles with their magic, and preserving Malvern from foreign aggression.
Eventually, the Falorans continued their migration, founding [[Falor]] and conquering the peninsula. At a great council held in Falor to discuss the enemies of the Faloran peoples, [[Radiance]] helped elect the Palaienid dynasty of Falor as Emperors, creating the [[First Faloran Empire]]. Malvern became second to Falor, and saw much of its propserity trickle north over the generations.

As the 'Second Faloran Empire', the Malvernians uphold many Faloran traditions, such as slavery. They consider their neighbouring [[Faloran Republic]] to be a threat to their lifestyle, because the Republicans hate all spirits, including the lesser Archons of Malvern.
When Radiance overthrew the Palaienid to declare the [[Dominion]], Malvern had not forgotten the oversight dealt to it. It declared independence, and a branch of the Palaienid was installed as a line of Empresses, backed by three [[Archons]] loyal to the dynasty.
 
 
Ever since, the Empire of Malvern has continued the traditions of the First Empire, including the practice of slavery. Though the number of true citizens is limited, the Malvernians maintain an extensive territory and have slowly continued to expand and regain their former glory.
 
 
With the death of the [[Arbiter]] and the destruction of the [[Triumvirate]] army of the Republic at Falor, Malvern realises that it is now the strongest known force in the world - and that the time may have finally come to restore the borders of the First Empire.
