[[File:Highland-Jowston War.png|thumb|220px|left|Wars with Jowston over land and resources would fill Highland's history.]]In the past, the Highland region existed as part of the southern territories of the [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia]]. The Highland Kingdom was founded in [[Solar calendar|the year]] 237. In that year, [[Mauro Blight]] received the [[Beast Rune]] and the title of King from Harmonia for his work in quelling civil war in the nation. Although ostensibly a reward for faithful service, the lands were granted with an ulterior motive; to provide Harmonia with a buffer zone against rebellious states, such as the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]].

The Highland Kingdom was founded in [[Solar calendar|the year]] 237. In that year, [[Mauro Blight]] received the [[Beast Rune]], the [[Platinum Spear]], and the title of King from Harmonia for his work in quelling civil war in the nation. Although ostensibly a reward for faithful service, the lands were granted with an ulterior motive; to provide Harmonia with a buffer zone against rebellious states, such as the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]].

Centered around its capital of [[L'Renouille]] and being a military-focused nation, Highland had been involved in repeated military conflicts, for many years, with the [[City-State of Jowston]]. The roots of this conflict extend back to the year 252 when Highland took advantage of civil war in the [[Dunan Monarchy]], invading what was then eastern South Window (modern day eastern Muse). As Highland had a smaller area and population compared to Jowston, the nation saw a necessity in keeping an advantage in terms of military power, leading to a strong military influence as well as a strong meritocracy.
