King Raddallin was the first King of Asgarnia, a human nation that was founded late in the Fourth Age.
History
Falador, capital of Asgarnia
King Raddallin is reported to have united many of the free tribes in the area under his banner, and made the leaders of several different towns swear allegiance to him and, more importantly, his god, Saradomin, who has always played a large part in the history of Asgarnia.
King Raddallin sought then to make a capital city for his kingdom, and for this he enlisted the help of two powerful political tribes of the area, the White Knights and the Kinshra, colloquially known as Black Knights. These two sects, coupled with advice from Lord Valzin, aided in the expansion of the small village Falador, which would become the capital city of Asgarnia that Raddallin made his home in during the early years of the Fifth Age. Valzin would eventually become influential and dominate the court of Raddalin, recommending men into high positions in the court.
A bitter rivalry, present within the two factions due to religious differences and the perceived self-entitlement of the white knights against their counterparts, led Raddalin to resign his fate as a constant mediator of conflict between the two sides as he wished to disband neither of the orders out of gratitude. However, the supposed burning of the Wizards' Tower by Zamorakians resulted in the expulsion of Zamorakians in the court and Falador proper when pressure was put on him on the looming threat of a civil war.
After Valzin's retreat to Ice Mountain, Raddalin secretly funded the project to fortify his mansion, which was located there. Valzin's death would result in the Kinshra renouncing their recognition of the legitimacy of Raddalin's crown. Out of respect to his old friend, he ignored their treasonous words.
The succession of kings after Raddalin's death, which eventually fell to King Vallance , allowed rivalry and unrest to grow. When Vallence grew old and fell ill, central authority weakened and the rivalry took a turn for the worst when Sir Amik Varze, the leader of the White Knights in year 162 of the Fifth Age, took advantage of the ill king and declared that the Kinshra were to have no power in Asgarnia.
The subsequent cold-war that followed lasted only a year until the Black Knights launched an invasion, climaxing at the Siege of Falador in year 164. The invasion was a failure and Falador was victorious, but conflicts with the Black Knights continued for many years, and do so to this day.
