History of the Land

In an era clouded by the passage of time, two deities clashed with each other—Order and Chaos. In their fierce battle, Chaos was weakened and pushed away into its own realm. But this outcome was far from a victory—Order was slain. Its followers scattered and buried the remains of their deity in the hope of its revival one day.   Eons had passed, and while the land still bears scars from that event, it became a mere legend believed by only a few. The land flourished and bore many civilizations. Among them, a human nation called “Dragsa” found a magical ore deep underground, which gave them access to unimaginable feats and technologies. They named this ore the “Roots of Life.”   Initially, Dragsa cooperated with the other inhabitants of the land, and together they developed magical technologies to extract power from these veins. But as Dragsa’s experiments with Roots of Life progressed, the other nations started to suspect the origins of the mysterious material. Soon, they forbade Dragsa from using this ore, claiming it was one of the remains of the god of Order. They forbade both its use for magic and any acts of research on it as blasphemy against the god. Whether this was the truth or a mere justification for what they planned next, nobody could say at this point, but Dragsa was already becoming too dependent on this magic.   A war broke out.   To win, Dragsa started to use even more of this newly found power granted to them by the “Roots of Life.” First, they built a giant fortress which soon became their new capital—The Fortress of Dragsa. They also started to use captured prisoners in experiments, which resulted in the creation of beastkin races. Some were used as slave workers, and others as foot soldiers in their armies. To oppose them, other groups united to create the “Redoe Alliance.”   After generations of fighting, the Redoe Alliance was pushed onto other continents, and only a small force of rebels remained within the Fortress of Dragsa. Dragsa’s armies were enough to solidify control over the whole continent. While many of the beastkin remained loyal to the Fortress of Dragsa, some rebelled and joined the other side. One group even created a whole country, outside of the Fortress's reach…   At this perilous time in history, forces from another world invaded a continent to the south and quickly took control of it. Calling themselves the “Disciples of Chaos,” they burned everything in search of the remains of the “traitorous god.”   This is where our story begins…
