Pre-Revolution
Although no much is known how the Valks started their society, what is known is that four other different empires existed with them. In a series of wars, the Valks conquered the empires beginning the Valkyrian Empire. During these wars, arose Tanya von Degurechaff who managed to survive every war and began to be seen as a hero. The current rulers were also beginning to mistreat their own citizens. Seeing Tanyas heroic acts, they sought the opportunity of ridding a potential politically rival by giving her suicide missions and making her a martyr.

Her most famous battle with this situation was known as the Battle of the Martyr in which she repelled 40,000 soldiers with a force of 5,000. The rulers seeing her popularity were forced to give her titles from the battle but continued to send on her suicide missions but she prevailed. Eventually, the rulers began hiring assassins to kill her as she became a bigger threat. Eventually, Tanya would be angered by these assassination attempts and would call for followers to begin Tanyas Rebellion.

The Rebellion
At first, Tanyas forces were losing but eventually gained the upper hand. Seeing this, more civilians began siding with her. They did this by sabotaging food supplies for Royalist forces making them weaker and so to ill for combat. With this at her advantage she won many victories. With these victories, she also had nobles who mistreated citizens be executed.

Eventually, they would reach the castle of Hohenzollern. Tanya being selfless didn't want to sacrifice her forces as they were also newly recruited civilians and instead starved out the defenders along with the King. With this, the rebellion came to a end. With this victory, Tanya would attempt to put one of the kings bastards on the throne through his mistreatment but all the Valkyrians and even the bastard proclaimed her "Queen of the Valks" at the meeting of who was to be the next ruler. Seeing no other option she took the throne based on her merit.
