Update 3: 600 RH to 700 RH
It was a time when many people thought it was the apocalypse that the world would die, but that was not to be. And so we see this portion of history
The Daeuron Druids continue employing their magics on their magical Fruit Groves. Theyre population continues to grow, and they begin working on a special fruit that will grant immortality to those who partake of it. They call it the Everlasting and their building a great Temple/Palace/Grand Compendium of Cultural Works, but it will take much investment to finish it. But throughout all this, their rulers seem to ignore the whisperings that on their border there are entire villages dieing out because no children are left in them. There are also reports of some women waking up with no blood left in their body. These stories have been mostly disregarded because you cant wake up if you have no blood in your body, because youre
DEAD, bum bum BUM!
In Uroussydia, The masons keep working on the Wind Temple. In other news, the Chieftain was rendered infertile because some peasant kicked him in the balls. The Council of Elders then chose a new Chieftain. (+1 progress, -2 you knows)
Down in Lux, the construction of the Solarian Forge continues under the watchful eye of the Solaris Order. In the port city of Valo, and new order is established, the Order of the Dawn. The Order of the Dawn was the controller of the newly constructed great navy of Lux. This is a very shrewd move by the ruling High Priest, who has decreased the political power of the Order of Solaris. The great nation of Lux is united by Religion even more now. The High Priest funded the new Order of the Dawn so it could build a grand fleet of Warships. The blueprints were drawn up and these new Warships were put into production. They were called Kalavin, which means Ships of Light. They were revolutionary in there design, a huge step up over Galleys. On orders of the High Priest, the Order of the Dawn set out at sunrise from Valo. The Kalavins set off, loaded up with Solarians and Lightbearers. They landed on the three Islands off the Southeast coast of Greater Lux. The Kalavins awed the natives on the first two islands, High Elves who lived in small Polynesian-style tribal villages. The Lightbearers wowed the people with their powers and easily converted the natives. The Solarians established order and got their allegiance. The last island, called Olenehao by their sparse inhabitants, less than 750 humans. But these humans were Polytheists, and their small communities all believed in different gods. Gods of War. But through all these different cultures ran a belief that the Gods would come to Olenehao, in their Ships from the Stars. They believed that from the ships would come the Gods and their Children, the Stars and the moons and the sun. And when the saw the majestic Kalavins, and when they saw the plumed Solarians and the Lightbearers with white mana encasing their hands. And they went into a frenzy. For their mythology told that once the Gods were defeated, the inhabitants of Olenehao, they called themselves the Meeinua, would become the Gods themselves and transcend to Paradise and live forever. So they attacked the Luxites. They savagely burnt boats and slaughtered Lightbearers in their sleep. They would engage in suicide runs and sneak attacks. As soon as the Lightbearers were attacked, the Solarians sprung into action. They viciously attacked and slaughtered the population, their spears and magics wiping out the humans. And that is how Olenehao was pacified. But some say that maybe the Meeinua were right, for in the year 699, a HUGE Tsunami came, and sunk the two other islands and the nation of Sphinxica under the sea. Or so it seems!(+ 3 SE Islands, -10 Lightbearers, -25 Solarians, -2 Kalavins, +1 Confidence)
Next we go to Naxxramas, where Seth Dethos rules, it seems perpetually. They continued to construct their Soul Vortex, much to the protest of a certain traveling Black Mage. And they began to recruit archers. LOTS of archers. And what comes after a build up, class. WARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! And with a viciousness they attacked Pindaria. The Centaurs were very, very surprised. Because the Naxxramas had signed a NAP with them. The Naxxramians attacked with such ferocity, employing Dark Magics to cripple the centaurs. Their legs were shattered with a force stronger than a sledge hammer. The Naxxramian Swordsman fell upon the fallen Centaurs and slaughtered them. But after that the Militant Centaurs regrouped and attacked back. But the Naxxramites had a descivie edge in their Carnom Corps. They killed the power structure of the Centaur armies. Carnom became a word to be feared in Pindaria, because only 4 of them were killed. The Naxxramites pushed forward, almost to the Pindarian Capital, Krotan. But the Centaurs were no pushovers, and they sent their Berserker Armies on a rampage, and they took the very undefended Naxxramas Coastline by surprise, and they almost pushed the Naxxramites back to their capital, High Rock. The war is in a deadlock now, with both sides approaching each others capital. (-1000 Centaur Regulars, -500 Berserkers, -4 Carnoms, -500 Archers, -750 Swordsman)
Now into the East! Chaos reigns. OH DOES CHAOS REIGN!!!! The Aerurikans finally finished their Grand Triple walls, when the drums of war reached their ears. Two teens making out on the outer wall noticed the pebbled jumping up and down. They looked over the horizon to see a HUGE Dwarven Army, 1,900 Dwarven Axemen, and 1,925 Battle Magi. The Dwarfs camped outside the City for two nights, resting up for an all on assault and awed by the amazing Aerurikan Walls. And on the third day, the Dwarfs prepared for battle. But within the blink of an eye the sky turned red, and clouds blacker than night appeared in the sky. And all the survivors reported you could see demonic faces in the clouds, mouths gaping in a smirking scream. An evil laugh pierced the silence, and the chaos began. The dark storm began raging. Black lightning struck down from the sky, decimating the Dwarves and the Aerurikans alike, cracking walls. Pillars of fire erupted from the heavens and went across the desolate land like Tornados of death. The Dwarven Army was tossed about, and the Aerurikan citizens suffered more. In fact, their never-ending fountain of wine was struck by a stray bolt, and it flooded the Wine District with 25 feet of wine before a second bolt destroyed it. And the outer wall was taken out when 5 fire tornados converged on it. But that was only the beginning, for soon after, brimstone and acid rained from the heavens, the in front of the second wall was rendered useless and desolate. And then the storm collapses upon itself like a star, and took the second wall with it. The tattered remains of the Dwarven force destroyed the last wall, using their Battle Magi as Suicide Bombers, having them throw themselves at the wall and overload with pure Red Mana and explode in a fiery inferno. And the Dwarven army came upon a ruined city. The Splendor of Aerurae was gone. Whether you thought it was a paradise or a hell-hole, the world will miss it.
Now onto the Hobbits. Theyre a busy, busy people them Hobbits. They continue work on their magnificent tree, and they continue to expand outward. Also, and Elite Group of Hobbit Warriors is founded, the White Wolf Rangers. These are Rangers who have a wolf companion and are very skilled. They are so elite, each class only creates 100. To add onto the build up, the Hobbits have fortified their Capital and Islands with walls and fortresses. They tried to send missionaries to Nashiya and the Gnomish City-States, but nobody really knows anything about Sifarion other than they dont like dogs. So they have been portrayed as Puppy Murderers. Its not a good PR thing.
But the tensions between Nashiya and Wilthfarthing are growing into a full fledge cold war, and both suspect each other of the vices ravaging their country. Since the beginning of time the Hobbits have smoked Toby. But a new strain has been introduced to their lands, a highly addictive opiate version. The market has been flooded with it. Hobbits are smoking it, eating it, snorting it, anything they can to get more Toby. Its an epidemic across their lands. They cant get enough Toby. Some have quit their jobs, and others demand to be paid in it. But the High Elves werent completely untouched either. The Juicyfruit, and wonderful but addictive fruit has been introduced to their lands. These paradise fruits satisfy the user, increasing happiness and contentment, but make him or her fat and for a while a bit tipsy. PLUS, there juice is irresistible, and with the banning of Alcohol by the Government, Juice has become the liquid of choice. Some High Elves even keep it in Giant Boxes. The Juice Box plague on Nashiya must be halted, but can anyone save them now?
The Nashiyans also participate in the build up, recruiting many Elven Archers. And in a case of parallel invention, the Nashiyans invent
..BRONZE. But some idiot sold it to a gnome and Gnomes can never keep things worth money except money, so it spread quickly to most ports on the Sea.(+Lux, Gorin, Wilthfarthing, Nashiya, Gnomish City-States with Bronze). They also finish the Great Necklace of Arwen and gave it to the noblest elvish lady of Nashiya. She then set about healing people. YAY! But unfortunately, the Necklace doesnt help addiction(OOC: LMAO Alex you set yourself up!), so the Juice Boxes still plague Nashiya. DAMN THOSE JUICE BOXES, JIMMY WAS SO YOUNG, SO YOUNG!!!!!. Erhm, anywho, the Nashiyan also founded and constructed the great city of Imaldris, the City of Streets. Its has wonderful boulevards, beautiful terraces, and a thriving gay community. Its pretty much Elvish San Francisco. The Nashiyans also create the Order of Shiya who are beautiful women who literally only watch fire for their whole lives. This made people question Celeninors sanity, but then his invention of the Harp and the Trumpet distracted them. Scientific Academy of Nashiya in Nashard was also established and invented the public opinion poll.
In Nekomi, their Cultural Ascendancy began, and they had a huge population boom. Their adeptness at Magic and Farming increased with their size, and the expanded rapidly across vast expanses of territory. Cats FTW anyone?
The Sadrith Mora were estatic after their victory, but quickly got back to work being f******* evil. They reinforced theyre cities of Balmora and Mournhold, and then they used slave labor to connect them with a road. A highway
. TO HELL!!!. Or at least in the future, the Gates of Hell. They continued to expand on downward and reached the borders of Athane. The only resistance they met was a small Fairy Kingdom, no more than a mile big. They killed all of them and had Fairy Soup! And the Gates of Hell ever more grew close to completion!!!!
The Athane have recruited even more archers now that the Dark Elves are on their border. The mystics a predicting war in the future.
In the Torash Goblins search for Elves they instead found, FLYING ELVES!!!!!! Yes, the nation of Siris was discovered, populated by Avariels. Avariels are, due to their survivalist traits and relative isolation, quite sceptic of other races. They get along best with other Elves, and frankly do not mingle with other ones. At best, they treat foreigners as valuable trade partners. Other races such as Goblinoids are looked upon as vile threats to their kind, and often killed at sight. Avariels are also quite famous for their practice of conserving Orc meat - something they call "jerky". It tastes horrible, but it very nourishing, and is an important part of the Avariel food supply. Avariel society is structured into three parts. One is the Clergy, the other is the War-Host, the third is the Citizen. They each have their tasks and duties, obviously. The Clergy maintain the Faith (more on this later) the War-Host defends and hunts down prey (almost anything) while the Citizen maintain the city's production and sparse agriculture. They are all ruled by the Royal Family (more on this later) and are represented in the High Council through appointed Clerics, high-ranking Officers and chosen Councilmen respectively. What will happen to the Goblin and these winged things. WHO KNOWS??????
The Darnorian Empire continues to be very forward looking. They have made effective use of their explosive runes and their troll slaves and have sped up their project by two turns. They have also created a spell to teleport explosives runes anywhere they know about. This has been employed by the King to kill his enemies by teleporting explosive runes inside their bodies and blowing them up. Not very subtle but it gets the job done. They also invented Bronze about the same time as Nashiya, which has baffled many historians. The Darnorisns hold they accidentally teleported some to Nashiya, but thats just poppycock. It is also rumored their building a big-ass tunnel. YA FOR TUNNELSSS!!!!!
