4. History of Ven

As Ezzel continued to grow and expand so did their trade routes. As trade between Ezzel and Apror began to grow, ships searched for new routes. A band of these ships landed on the trike isle to form a trading outpost as per order of the king. After about 4 months of construction they ran into something peculiar. A dwarf with grey skin and glowing orange eyes watched them from the distance. Although they did not speak common, they did appear to speak the old dwarvish tongue. This was the first known contact with a sub-species of dwarves: the magma dwarves. They had evolved to live on the hot peak of Mt Trike and had established their own kingdom on the isle. However they were not as technologically advanced as the old dwarven kingdom. The King of Ezzel met with the Lava Lord of the magma dwarves and invited their kingdom into the Ezzelian kingdom. Of course at first the Lava Lord declined, but once Ezzel offered them technological advances such as sea travel and accsess to the rest of the world, they reluctantly joined. The isle now is apart of the Ezzelian kingdom but serves as its own state, with slightly different laws and cultures.

Through the battlefields of edrania and apror began to arise a new entity. The Arcanas. Beings made of magic energy that took humanoid form. With the advancement of magic came more excess energy from spells being used. This energy would come together and swirl forming a being known as an Arcana. Arcana's varied in personality usually due to whatever spells excess energies they were made of. During the war of energies these beings were used as weapons, stuffed into weapons and golems to serve as each countries respective soldiers. During the end of the war one especially powerful Arcana began to form. An arcana known as Nova formed from the remnants of a city destroying event, he was too powerful to be contained by Edrania or Apror and began to free his Arcana brethren. He became worshipped as a God, and eventually the power he had and the faith from his followers rose him up to minor godhood. Nova proceeded to enter the realm of the gods and began speaking with Maraia, bringing her attention to what the mortals had been doing in the recent war.

Explorers from Edrania manage to climb the mountain where Akatan resides, and discover the isolated city state of Akatan. The city state was assimilated into the Edranian empire without much conflict.

The third major war of Edrania and Apror broke out in 1416 over a trade disagreement. This went by many names by different people. The war of the dragon riders, the war of the undead, the bloody sea, but most refer to it as the war of the titans. Although magical spells did not reach the insanity of the second war, individual users seemed much more versed in combat and magic. Some would raise armies of undead to fight the enemy, others would summon storms to slow down battalions advances.

Apror is invaded by thousands of beasts sent from the gods for an unknown region. The once great and powerful nation effectively falls in a matter of days, refugees evacuating the land scattered across the continent. The Edranian military front managed to hold back the beasts from expanding any further with the help of the dragon of apror and Rhaegal septimus. 

Ezzel begins a campaign to take over islands on the beast lands. The leaders of the nation state that this campaign was needed to further their economic supremacy. Edranians have mixed opinions about this campaign. On one hand it seems the number of beasts on the border has slightly declined due to shifting priorities on the other hand many edranians believe that all the beastlands should become one with the empire.

In the midst of the corellian crusade a large battle took place on Mt Yon. The crusaders who were invading were slowly losing their ground to the enemy forces and defeat was inevitable. The crusaders who remained blinded by their own religious frenzy decided to sacriface their own lives for one prayer. let no one leave the mountain alive. This prayer reached Corellia and he decided to manipulate the magma inside Mt Yon to erupt. The human army had been praying to Byla the goddess of war to aide them in their defense of their homeland. When the mountain began erupting the humans sacrifaced all of their weapons and armor to Byla in a vain attempt to be saved by the volcanic attack. Byla did her best using the sacrifaces she was given, but the results still roam on Mt Yon today. Volcanic humanoids now roam the mountain, mindless soldiers who think they are trapped in a war long over. Plant life that grows on the mountain is affected by Byla's effects and grow hostile and dangerous. It is said that Byla every 5 years attempts to have her followers remedy the destruction of Mt Yon, but little progress has been made.
