Human Kingdom

0 - The creation of the Human race, during this initial hundred year period, the human race was subject to a wide variety of influences such as the magic of that of the elves, and the technology of the dwarves. The humans found the technology easier to teach, and with their shorter lives focused on an education that favored technology. During this time they were guided by the God illmer, the Great God. As they grew order he gave them many more gods in which to find favor in. These gods were dedicated to individual ideas, and thus acted as muses for the variety of people within the human kingdom. Due to the creation of the various gods, the people fell into strife over disagreements as to which god should be observed on which days and was the most important.     100 - Over the course of the first hundred years the people, found themselves progressing in technology fairly well thanks in part to the union with the dwarves. Yet some of the people, preferred magic and thus spent more time with the elves studying the ways of the gods and the power they wielded. These people became much more devout in their ways and a schism formed over the proper way to show deference to the gods. The dwarves focused on their ancestors giving respect to those that brought honor and respect to the clan. Whereas the elves sought simply to follow the lesser gods that Illmer had created for them. The elves with their long lives, spent many days researching and studying the magic the gods gave to them.   With time the schism erupted within the kingdom of man, and led to civil war, this war was fought between the two faction, and would later become called the Divisional War.   The war ended in gridlock that was only broken by the arrival of the dragons in the year 150. The war had waged on for 25 years and had decimated the otherwise fertile lands previously settled by the humans.     150 - The war had ended not out of victory but of need. The kingdom that they fought for was in danger from a threat larger than any they had foreseen. The humans had to pull together to fight the new threat while repairing the years of war. The kinsman that had fought against one another now joined to fight that of the dragons, winged beasts that could melt the bricks of castles if given the chance.   The humans went to the elves hidden deep in the woods in their magical fortresses and to the dwarves in their winding caves, seeking help in the coming days. They sought to combine the ideas that the people that had inadvertadly divided them to fight a foe that outmatched their current ability.   This became know to the people as reunification, or the great mending. The various forces, on either side employed their various abilities and knowledge to heal the land. In the meantime the gears of war slowly started turning once again. The people slaughtered by the dragons would be avenged, the Alliance of Three, had been created. This led to massive reforms within the human kingdom as the humans completed the rebirth of their kingdom and jumped into the fray. The elves and dwarves had held the line long enough. The humans came with trebuchets and ballistas, designed to knock the dragons out of the air. In addition the mages of the human kingdom were able to guide these projectiles towards their targets with increasingly high accuracy.   Within ten years of the onset of the age, the dragons were pushed back to the edge of the mountains that cut the land.
