WORLD HISTORY

The Age of Origin During the creation of the world some new divine entities were born and didn't approve the races of origin fate as slaves. The most powerful of them decided to create cities secretly in remote areas to help the races of origin to organize themselves and free the world from the elves. Al-Zuna goddess of elements created Birone the city of gems, Vangelysa goddess of the mountains created Valkara the city of clouds. Celesya goddess of the oceans created Iridia the city of pearls, Miranas god of the underworld created Gardalia the city of metals. The dwarves and the gnomes found and colonized the underground city of Gardalia, the human and the halflings found the other cities at the surface. In those cities they found secret knowledge, weapons and powerful relic, they used it to fortify their position, they were much grateful to live the remaining of their life far from the elves in those divine cities. Over time, the inhabitant of the cities started to change because of the divine magic that was used on those locations. The dwarves of Gardalia, became deep dwarves, fearless warrior. The human of Birone became the Matuzalian, master of elemental magics and master crafter. The human of Valkara became the Valkarian, master of the war songs and art. The human of Iridia evolved as the modern human and developed a sense of innovation, they created the first ships, the first schools and the basics of alchemy. The cities prospered and stayed hidden from elven eyes with the help of the power of their patron gods. Eventually, the four great cities leader met and joined forces. They created a fifth city to be the home of all the races and organized an army capable of challenging their elven oppressors. This legendary city was Selarya, the holy city of crystal, home of the Selarian, master of truth and chivalry. The same day the city was founded, a champion mysteriously appeared with the divine essence of the four patron gods of the cities of origin. Her name was Eryka, she became the first queen of Selarya and unified all the races to fight against Balkalas and the elven empire. After more than 200 years of battles, they finally defeated them. Selarya became a beacon of tolerance and virtue following the teaching of Eryka who became the mother of all. After the Elven empire was destroyed, Eryka ascended and became a full-fledged goddess and put the fate of the world into mortal hands. Every season the lords of the cities of origin met at the council of Selarya and aligned their efforts leaving little chance for evil and tyranny to spread and organize themselves. Meanwhile, the remaining elves retreated deep into the forest of Wyzlar and founded a realm of magic isolated from the other races. This alliance remained strong for few years, but the heart of mortals is easily corrupt and one day the alliance failed and the cities turned against each other in the great war of origin that turned the world into ashes. The gods witness the war of the origin with great sorrow and at the end when little civilization remained, the great goddess Eryka shut the doors of the ancient cities and hide them from mortal eyes and the cities were forgotten after generations. It took thousands of years before the cities could be found and populated again.

The Age of Men After the great war of Origin, many countries rose from the knowledge and culture that could be saved from the ashes of warfare. The nations of Yuukan and Imadyr were founded by Matuzalian that immigrated from Birone and became the most ancient realms after the war of origin. Camorya, Sunalya, Celestya and Darakya were founded from coastal colonies that originated from Iridia. The dwarven realm of Bakenmoor was built by an army of dwarves from Gardalia. Most of the Valkarian exiled themselves in the highest mountain of the world to escape war and tragedy. The race of men became rapidly the dominant species of the world because of their expansionist and innovative nature. They were peace for a time but as more nations were founded and new religions rose, violent conflicts and war became common. Many civilizations were born and destroyed over time. Evil spreads and eventually was defeated and reborn later into another form.
