    Battle of Snowpeak
    Military action

    A contingent of warriors affiliated with and hired by the Dharan Church marched on the nomadic frost elves and killed most of the species. The propaganda machine spun this as a victory as the frost elves were threatening eradication of man and a repeat of the Onyx Era. Years later, mostly thanks to a lone frost elf named Einar and the former Captain of the High Guard Nikolas Heartsting, the church's lies were exposed. It was a Dharan prophet who saw a frost elf bring down the entirety of the Church of Dhara. Their actions at what is now called the Genocide of Snowpeak led to the eventual destruction of the Church. Dhara is still worshipped but the militaristic powerhouse is no longer in control of Skygarde.   [In the beginning of time, elves ruled over man. They used the neanderthalic human as workers and labor. As millenia passed the humans began to become smarter and gained a sense of free will. In a time closer to today, the humans revolted against the elf overlords and sent them running to the ends of the realm. Humans then took over and enough time passed that the elves stayed hidden away and the humans populated Galfin. In current days, men were spread out as were the elves. Elves had come out of hiding and started to mix with the civilizations estalished. Things were looking up for the long hindered relationship between the two most populous races in Galfin. The Battle of Snowpeak changed this. As the fire elves came out from the mountains, as the wood elves came out of the forests, as the black sun elves empowered their way to comtrol of Dynastes, as the terra elves came out of their holes; Snowpeak happened. The frost elves were wiped out in a genocidal attack led by the Church of Dhara. The people of the religion were told that a prophey would be fulfilled and the frost elves would end destroy the world. People believed this but the soldiers that took part knew that that was not the case. The frost elves didn't even fight back, they were simple folk living in the snow, completely unprotected. Soldiers from all recruited races: man, giants, ogre and other took place in the battle. It was labelled the moment when man stepped too far. This event led all elves to be much more weary of the armies of man. It would take time for this fear to settle. Decades passed and the elves that alrready mixed with humans forgave them, some elves, such as the fire and wood elves became even more recluse, even to their elven bretheren. Yacobius Hrothgar and his comrades led the genocide. The 5 heroes of Snowpeak, greeted home with honors and medals were Sir Belaruus, Grergolf Oxsilk, Dru-Naz'Eet, Muggs and Yacobius Hrothgar. The Church of Dhara is the most widelt accepted relgion between the humans. Dhara was the messiah that led the men in their revolt of their elf overlords. Dhara died at the end of the revolution and ascended to godhood, becoming a martyr for man to continue controlling Galfin. With a militaristic way of living, passed down by the conventions of the great revolt, the Church started converting as many men as possible to their religion. There are currently amny provinces that the church has had such an impact on that they are considered mostly of the Dharan religion. They're are people who worship other gods but they are usually looked odd upon. The Great Plateau and Steelgale are the major provinces that are considered Dharan. The church declared war war on the frost elves because they were apparently the most violent and viotile of all the elves. After the Battle of Snowpeak, the other elves recieved the message that man was not to be trifled with.]

    The Surprising Mistake

    Yacobius strikes Stephanio, Stephanio counters., Yacobius go to talk to Skytracer   Chapter 8 - The Surprising Mistake   Stephanio made it up the spiral staircase and entered Yacobius Hrothgar' chambers, immediatly telling him the good news. The captain of the High Guard listened and became increasingly annoyed at the court jester.   "Is he serious!" Yacobius Hrothgar yelled as Stephanio told him the news. "I've got too much work to do as it is and now I have to entertain a clown? How ironic." The high ranking member of both the church and the High Guard was now stuck babysitting Stephanio.   Yacobius Hrothgar sat back at his desk "Listen clown, you just sit over there and don't touch anything, I've ot work to do." Stephanio complied to the captain's orders. The two men were complete opposites; Stephanio is a skinny, immature jester while Yacobius Hrothgar is a very large statured, serious, soldier. Stephanio's past was not known to any, he just showed up and was allowed to be the king's entertainment, Yacobius Hrothgar however had a glorified past, he was recognized as a war hero during the Battle of Snowpeak, he was a priest when in Skygarde but when he left the civilized castle walls he became a fearsome warrior. While Yacobius Hrothgar sat and rummaged through some papers he heard movement, he quicklky turned around to see Stephanio standing near the trophy case.   "Didn't I tell you to sit over there?" Yacobius Hrothgar said sternly as he went back to his work. The jester continued looking at all of the captain's things. Yacobius Hrothgar could here him slightly moving things and touching important documents in his room. The brutish priest became increasingly irritated.   "Can't you just sit still?" Yacobius Hrothgar asked aggresively.   "Not likely." Stephanio laughed, Yacobius Hrothgar turned around to tell the clown to sit back down. AWhen he looked back, Stephanio was holding small statue that symbolized Dhara; the god to all the Dharan humans.   "Hey! Put that down!" Yacobius Hrothgar was furious now, as soon as Stephanio heard Yacobius Hrothgar yelling, he dropped the statue. It shattered into many pieces once it hit the marblee floor. The battle priest had no words for the dim-witted clown. Yacobius Hrothgar held his anger in, turned away from Stephanio and continued doing his work. The court jester could sense that his large friend was angry and sought out to fix that.   "Im truly sorry sir, I didn't mean to break it." Stephanio was begging for forgiveness.   "Go away clown." Yacobius Hrothgar' reply was blunt and direct.   "What can I do to make it up to you, anything. Please sir." As Stephanio pleaded he slowly moved closer, Yacobius Hrothgar continued to ignore him.   "I'm not kidding clown, back away!" Yacobius Hrothgar was clearly starting to lose his temper, Stephanio did not realize this as he moved even closer.   "Are you deaf?" Stephanio still moved closer. Yacobius Hrothgar' stress caused him to snap his quill in half, ink exploded all over his desk. The captain's stern voice had no effect on the jester.   Yacobius Hrothgar screamed "I said back off!" Yacobius Hrothgar swung his massive arm at Stephanio, aiming to knock him back against the floor. To the large soldier's amazement, his arm was caught by equal strength, before Yacobius Hrothgar had time to react, the large warrior was airborne, heading for the stone wall. As Yacobius Hrothgar crashed into the shelves, debris wen't everywhere. Yacobius Hrothgar layed their stunned, Stephanio walked over and offered to help his big friend up.   "Truly sorry sir." Stephanio was barely holding in his laughter as he helped Yacobius Hrothgar up. Yacobius Hrothgar was still completely stunned.   "We should get some air. I need to think things through." Yacobius Hrothgar put his hand on Stephanio's shoulder and walked the court jester out.

    5E 210 Firstfrost 47   Two goons walk out of a house joking around with their dark elf boss The window is broken, the door is kicked in and the dark elf is wrapping up his bloody knuckles   Talla Howl Halfstack     “Well at least he paid up, should have just done it a month ago and he wouldn't have to get his teeth fixed.”   Looks concerned   Asks if this is what you want to do with your lives   Says how he dropped out of the Spellstrung College, the pressure from his father against him learning from a human like Boto SIlverstaff was an embarrassment.   Got kicked out after he meddled with an artifact that his dad asked him to investigate   Boto caught him and expelled him   With the ongoing news about large metal ships docking on the east, he is just glad they live in the most well protected city in Galfin   You walk past the slums of the Dunwich district.   Enter the People's tower in the middle of town as many people are trying to get out of the city with their things. The fear of the incoming army has many people spooked and are trying to get out of the city to go see family.   You three make your way passed the line and Jako, the leader of your group flashes a badge that says “RBC”   A small riot begins as the room fills with more and more anger, it's chilly outside but in here the sweat is palpable. The people are in their winter gear trying to take what they can to get out of the city.   A loud voice booms over the crowd, in walks an older man with the twisted staff, there is a glowing blue ball at the tip. He wears thick glasses and has various trinkets tied into his beard.   “Calm fellow SKygardians, fear and anger will not solve our problems.”   He whirls his stick around and you feel the air cool immediately rush in from the upstairs windows, calming some of the tension.   “The High Guard is working as fast as they can, the Magi Guild will also be here to expedite paperwork as we escort everyone out of the city.”   Jako nudges you to move on, mentions that was Boto Silverstaff.   Return to the boss after walking through the Merlin District A hunched mine dwarf sits in his chair counting coin meticulously His paper lits by a glowing orb floating above his head.   Tasked to retrieve an item from a man fleeing the city as he owes money to Oxford   So find a man named Toldur Toldur in the mass migration of people leaving the city.   Take his saving he is carrying with him in front of his wife and daughter   Return again as the city is atacked by Lord Teyranus of Hearthen   Find yourself in the safety of the bank but tasked to do one last job, the advisor Silver Tung owes a lot of money to the RBC. He will be hunkered down in his own vault but an item that is very rare is left unprotected. Silver never pays his debts and is too well protected to muscles dues from him. In the Magi Guild, an item passed down to their great grandfather is housed in the guild for protection and study. With the magi helping with evacuation, it will be less protected.   Get valaurian shard,   Leave and find boto fighting in the streets as well as many other wizards   Have pyrus show up and you run   After the brief fight, malakai is seen breaking out of the magi guild holding the item   Pyrus then kills Jako   Malakai sees this, drops the artifact and it starts exploding, boto controls the blasts so everyone can run, including malakai.   As Boto used the last of his power to close the rift, he was unable to take the strain caused on his body. The Grandwizard lay motionless on the ground as the city burned around him. The Sons of Hearthen and the Manastrife Union did not get the weapon or take Skygarde but they still came out with a victory as the main stronghold for Galfin had fallen.   As people cried around, a lone figure walked his way into the burning city, unphased by the people begging for help. He shook his head at the level of irresponsibility that led to something like this.   The man knelt down at the wizard’s body and looked towards the Magi Guild. On the ground lay the little cube shaped box that Boto had been researching. The man stood up and took off his hood. He looked to a young person following behind him. He gestured for his companion to catch up then looked down at the frail body on the ground.   “You arrogant fool, this was inevitable in your hands. Rest well brother.”   His silver blew in the wind as ash stained his silver and blue outfit. Remus Silverstaff reached down and picked up the cube, placed it in his pocket and turned to his ward.   “You see Iona, this is why we must not let untapped power into the hands of those who are not worthy.   Puzzle Cube of Vlox is with Seekers   Valauric Shard is with Howl Halkstack and Tallaught
