The first settlers found safety from the Grim in the cliffs and from there came to build towns and cities along the walls. The population grew and began to expand its territory by utilizing the land.
At some point Mistral established alliance with the then Kingdom of Mantle and the two frequently traded with each other with Mistral sending supplies and Mantle providing insight on how to settle the snowy northern region of Anima. After an incident with the Grimm, Mantle came to believe that, if it abolished the arts and repressed self-expression to control its citizens' emotions, it would be safer from Grimm. Due the Kingdom's passion for the arts it was believed that this would the end of Alliance however Mistral complied with Mantle's wishes to an extent, banning the arts and self-expression everywhere in the kingdom except for within its central power.
Eventually settlers from the kingdom made journey from Anima to Saunus west coast which at the time Kingdom of Vale also made began settling in the region. The King of Vale at the time encouged peace decided to share the Mistral settlers.
However, the immensely high tensions ultimately resulted in a riot between the two bands of settlers. It is unknown who attacked first, but it began the first battle of the Great War. The War took place on both Anima and Saunus and the Kingdom of Mantle came quickly to Mistral's aid. For a time the Kingdom of Vacuo remained neutral. Due to Mantle and Mistral having established a presence in their territory in the years prior. When the two began pressuring Vacuo to ally with them, the citizens of Vacuo realized that if Vale fell, there would be no one left to stop Mistral and Mantle from conquering them. Vacuo rallied against Mantle and Mistral and pushed them out of the Vacuo territory and allied themselves with Vale.
Over the the 10 years the war lasted, Mistral lost many settlements to the Grimm some of which where never reclaimed, finally the war came to an conclusion during the Vacuo Campaign, Mistral and Mantle tried to capture Vacuo's Dust mines hoping to cut off their supply of Dust. However the King Of Vale leading his armies alongside Vacuo's were able to defend them. It was consider the deadliest battle of the war. It was that the King himself took out majority of the invading armies however historians claim that this feat was aided by the unusually violent weather and Mantle's inexperience in desert combat. Thus the war came to end wit Vale and Vacuo as the victors, Mistral and Mantle surrender and was willing to cease it's function and rule along side Vacuo over to Vale. However the King refused and instead they the leaders of the kingdoms met on the Island of Vytal and signed a treaty and plan the future of Remnant. There, the four Kingdoms' governments were restructured, their territories were redistributed, slavery was abolished, the tradition of the Vytal Festival was begun and the King of Vale founded the four Huntsman Academies. Mistral's academy, Haven, was secretly given a Relic to safeguard.
