Update #1: A World Reborn: Prehistory to 450 RH
And so it began, a time of magic, a world of magic. Throughout the land that no one has yet to think of a name for, races civilized in an effort to keep up with the times. The Dwarves, the Elves, the Humans and the Hobbits. Some even say the Goblins even civilized now, but everyone knows Goblins are nothing more than green turds of flesh.
We now look to the Druid people of Daeuron. They worshiped wolves, and made their homes among nature. These human used their magic to grow huge crops and to help with their farming. Their population increased and they began to expand outwards. The Wolf Wizard Turain Wefec, son of Tuaron, traveled his realms, using transmutation into a giant wolf to wow his followers and increase their confidence in him. (+population growth, +confidence)
In the middle of what snobs from another time, another dimension would call the “Jolly Old Pond” while drinking tea was the nation-state of Lux. Lux expanded both religiously and militarily, though that was intertwined. They built a unique military unit called the Solaris, grand and devout warriors. The Solaris assisted the Lightbearers, militant missionaries if you will, in converting the island, which is now called Greater Lux. The Lightbearers performed with their magics what of the primitive thought were miracles. They healed wounds and diseases, and in the case of one man and much mana, helped a paraplegic walk again. They also began work on Mystical Forge-Temple called the Solarian Forge. They located a source of amazing mana flow and have begun constructing the forge, which will take mana, manpower and sunlight and forge powerful armor for the Solaris. With the beginning of a huge religion, the city of Lux has become a City of Great Importance, a religious center to be exact. (+500 Solaris, +50 Lightbearers, +Lux as an important city)
Away from the Lux, we see the nation of Naxxramas begin to emerge as an entity of evil and progress. With the help of enslaved Rat folk they found north of them, they have begun the construction of a spiritual portal of some sort, a Soul Vortex. But that is not all they focused on. No, summon both Seth Dethos and the Council of Twelve, they channeled all the mana available to them and some monetary considerations, to create the Carnoms. They first choose a male child who has just entered puberty. He must show great aptitude in the dark arts. They then deflower him on an Obsidian shard as he is molested, usually by Seth Dethos himself. They then mutilate his…you know… and pour molten gold down his throat. They perform the spell and decapitate him. The blood and brain fluid mix to create an evil organism which is in the form of a living liquid. The liquid then chooses a host to form a symbiotic relationship with. The human gains a multitude of abilities, such as forming simple objects out of his own hands, or regeneration. The Carnoms are hard to kill but expensive. A whole batch is only 15. (+15 Carnoms)
The Gorinese Empire, though being a name that was taken from the Epic of Tellus a popular Dwarven myth, began to ambitiously look towards the future. They expanded west through Magic and Axe, sometimes a combination of both with Dwarven Axe man conjuring Axes of pure flame to cast at their enemies. In the mountains they also began to undertake a monumental project. They began to construct Dragon city, a City carved out of a mountain said to be a breeding ground for Dragons. Although the Dragons found here are of a smaller variety, scientifically classified as Fire Drakes, a genetic offshoot of the Great Dragons themselves, none the less they are powerful creatures. With blasts of magic and the soft tap of the pickaxe, the city is slowly built.
West of the Gorinese Empire lies the Anarchic city of Aerurae. They Aerurae believe in little government, their only tax being that to enter the city, you must donate a barrel of alcohol to the city. It is the city of Drunkards after all. They engage in massive drunken orgies all the time, but when their not, they keep the best barley fields and vineyards in the land. They are the worlds leading exporter of Alcohol, there is no city on the “pond” that doesn’t have someone who carries Aeruraen
Juice as they call it. They actually focus someone of their magic on this, growing and making the finest. Because of all of this, they have become an economic center. They have also begun construction (in between the sex, the feasts and the raves) on a giant set of city walls. They are very advanced, but are filled with crude images. (+ Aerurae Eco Center)
We now go over to the Hobbits of The Wilthfarthing. They have begun to prosper on their own, trading with the High Elves across from them and building up their own country. Making use of their small size and closeness with animals, the Hobbits have tamed Giant Eagles and begun to use them as air cavalry. Although only the elite make it, so the corps is small. The Male Hobbits, tired of being called small banded together in a lewd use of magic and increased the size and stamina of their sex organs. The side effect of this magic Cialis is that their magic phalluses have increased fertility in the women, so more babies are being born. An unintended side-effect of it was the rampant homosexual sex going on, especially between minors and Older Male Hobbits. Now Frodo and Samwise really do bang each other.
The Hobbits have also made us of their engineering capabilities and built a great city on the rubble of what is believed to be an ancient battlefield. Hobbit Lore insists that in the Before Times, The very trees themselves rose up from their roots and attacked the Great Demon Wubba there. It was an epic battle that roared for years. In the end, the fist of the land itself rose up and pummeled Wubba to death. Anyways, the city of Pennune was built here. And on the site the priests say the Fist emerged from, a Hobbit designed Fortress Tree is being constructed, to draw the mana of Nature to it, so the Hobbits may channel it from there. The Hobbits weren’t very interested in going out to sea when they could live in the city of Pennune and have great fornication with their new genitalia, so sea colonies were not established. Duindwell, having become a center of Trade between the High Elves and the more inland Hobbits is now an Economic Center. (+HUGE hobbit wangs, +population boom, +25 Eagle Riders, + Pennune, + Duindwell as a economic center)
Nashiya, across the bay from Wilthfarthing, was too becoming a power in its own region. They too, like the Nekomi developed a system of writing. But unlike the scratchy cat writing, their script is flowing a beautiful as only elfish can be. The writing has managed to travel to all the nations Nashiya or the people it knows have had contact with, and is becoming the for most writing form. The High Elves also insisted the Celeninorian Code of Laws, which reformed the nation very much. (+1 Confidence). The Nashiyans built up their capital, Nashard into a great city, perhaps greatest in the world. Through magic and elf power, they made one the most important cities in the world(+Nashard as a city of Great Importance)
Upward from the Nashiya are the Nekomi, a race of Cat people. Smart inquisitive and knowledge seek, they have invented the first alphabet(all other previously used hieroglyphics). This has allowed their Knowledge to flourish. They have focused much of their resources on a part of their society called the Great Hunt. This is their mating period, where all the males and the females yet unmarried hunt each other down. Only the smart, strong, or skilled survive. Making this better is a project of theirs. They expanded up to the mountains and down to the coast line, but their population is very stretched as it is. (+Academia)
And then we come to the area of Elvlind. The region were All the types of elves currently know live, along the River Noer. This is one of the most violent, most magically effected regions of all. First we come to Ath'ane, land of the Wood Elves. The Wood Elves channeled the enormity of their power into the Forestation of unforested lands. They have expanded across their tri-river area, naming the left riverfork Aeldi, and the main river Noer. They grew huge towering forests using the purest green magic, and build two towering tree cities, Elmad on the Noer, and Reit on the Aeldi. They have created a Wood Elf paradise.
But further up the River Noer, the High Elves of Nepece formed their own Kingdom to protect their people. But they did not anticipate having to protect their people so soon. The Sadrith Mora set out for their wood elf brethren, but it seems their ancestral memory failed them. It was so far. But they had still set out with 3000 Raiders, 200 Templars of the Black Rose(possessed Dark Elves riding summoned Black Steeds) and the fearsome Avatar. They found the new High Elf Kingdom and saw it ripe for the taking. They swept over its lands like a black tide, destroying all in their path. They conquered much of the land in the kingdom, but what they did with that land was worse. They would enslave the men and castrate them, and take the woman and use them as slave factories. They would loot everything and then burn the villages and salt the land, leaving only minor outposts. The high elves are trying desperately to defend themselves from these dark elf demons, but it is almost of no use. War has come to the world, and it is ugly.
At home the Sadrith are arguably worse. They have enforced a rigid caste system with all subservient to the Avatar. They have slaves and regular beatings of the lower classes. It’s a nightmare on earth, and the people love it. The have even begun building a Gateway to a Demonic Realm, Hell. (+ confidence, + 1 eco point next turn for loot, -1,000 Raiders, -20 Templars, -1500 High Elf Spearmen.)
Finally, the Darnorians, pseudo-Germanic fascist midgets..erhm..dwarfs. They have experimented much with magical explosives, and the rune tablets they have them written on allows the further generations to learn from them, and make BIGGER explosions. The Darnorians have begun construction on a giant Forge, to create metals imbued with the fire of Baz and the hardness of the Superior Dwarven Race. And roving Dwarf tribes found a sword from an era long past. It was a sword with no blade, only pure fire. The Dwarf king now uses this to legitimize his reign. Zig Heil Josef! (+Confidence, +Academia)
The Goblins of Torash did Goblin and Ogre things like fighting and fighting while eating someone they had just previously fought, and actually fighitng so they could eat the one they were fighting so that they could eventually fight while eating someone they had just previously won a fight with. But a smart goblin seemed to get them together and sent them east, to expand. And they also looked to the heavens and began to construct large thinks that would tkae them upwards so they could fight and eat in the sky too!(-500 Goblin horde)
OOC: . Welcome to this world. NAMES PEOPLE WE NEED NAMES! And the cradle is bigger than lines, you can’t expand like 1,000 miles to attack someone
Stats and fluff tomorrow. Wait for the map. I know this update is bad, but i'm being hit by a hurrican tommorow, so i needed to get it up.
