History of Everland

The dragons are the first sentient species to arrive in Everland, finding a pristine world, prime for settlement. The abundance of food and the agreeable climate made it a popular place for dragons to create their lairs, despite a lack of opportunities for treasure.

As the Kuigon Empire grew more powerful, servants were brought into Everland to fulfil the labour tasks needed. In small numbers at first, but ever-increasing with settlements of their own springing up.

The orcs arrive in small numbers and in secret. Constantly on the move to evade Kuigon hunters, orcs hide out in its geographical vastness.

With the fall of the Kuigon, the Umyebelians are the first to realise the potential and, with the help of the metallic dragons who originally helped them, quickly expand from their original territory. With the Kuigon gone, their cities become prime building material for the elves and within 500 years of the Kuigon's defeat by the gods, the Umyebelian Empire covers most of Everland.

The Quenian Elves of the Umyebelian Empire begin their slow withdrawal from most of Everland. A number of causes precipitate this, but the main reason is apathy by the majority of the elven population. Magic has removed the need for labour, and the Quenians have little interest in fighting battles against encroaching human and orc settlements. They retreat to their heartlands, leaving ruined cities in their wake, stripped of almost anything of importance.
