History of Cytal

After creatures from the Great Forest emerged and terrorized the early settlements, a band of Acuran joined together to build a stronghold where all could be safe from creatures and monsters.

During an invasion of creatures from another realm, the hero known as Ika did the only thing he could do to save the town. He lifted the town up into the sky and isolated it from the monsters on the surface. This led to the city of Norpelda being formed and the advancement of Air Alum.

An Acuran exploration team stumble upon a realm where the inhabitants are intelligent, strong and taller than themselves.

With an increasing number of explorers using portal magic to explore the realms as well as a lack of any formal location to share knowledge, Acurans and Sorcerers alike decided to build a city dedicated to obtaining, preserving and sharing knowledge. Thus began the city of Birohhal and the The Great Library Library.

Mid way through the Exploration Era, a band of unanmed Acurans discovered a realm originally thought to be empty but eventually discovered the existence of an extinct race who called themselves Akan. In their ancient texts it is believed they also had access to magical abilities via crystals scattered across the realm.

Hoarwae the sorcerer was not fascinated by the other worlds and realms like his counterparts. Instead he set out to explore all that he could on Violem. So he put together a crew and set sail in search of new lands. Years later he returned with the dicovery of two new continents and several large islands.

After centuries of searching, the followers of Neroc finally found the location of the original Necronomicon in Birohhal and attempted to charge the city with an army of the undead. The city was saved by a collection of heroes and adventurers who would become known as the Ivory Champions.

A strange and mysterious disease slowly turned the most powerful magic users insane. Causing damage across not just Violem, but the realms they had discovered as well. The disease led to the death of most Acuran in Violem, with no cure ever being found.

Over the years, the power and presence of Acuran has dwindled. To the point where they seem more like myths than ancestors. The last known sighting of an Acuran was by a guard in the town of Ferrelwood, who describes the events of an old woman saving the town from a creature hidden in the reflections of mirrors.

Throughout most of history, Minaurans were seen as the lowest class in society due to their lack of magical capabilities. With some not associating themselves with them at all. This was true of the Prince of Prassan, who overthrew his father, King of Prassan, and declared war on Minaruans.   This led to a slow plot to lure as many Minaurans to the city of Prassan before being slaughterd in the massses. Many fled to the nearby city of Entello which called war on Prassan for their hate crimes. Sadly this conflict didn't last long as Entello was destroyed in a great fire which burnt down the entire city within a single night.   The slaighter led to many Minauran to flee and hide anywhere they could. Eventually finding calling their camps of refuge home in the form of Uwoll. The war carried on with other cities like Drovvin & Fi-Ha pushing back Prassan, but the damage was already done. A large percentage of the Minauran population were killed, burnt or tortured by the Prince of Prassan. Leaving behind a small population fearful of all around them.

The Cult of Chaos seeded the start of a curse so powerful it caused distrust, anger and violence amongst the people of Cytal, leading into a war lasting seven years. It wasn't until Oharius created The 12 Commanders putting a stop to the evil plans and conquering the land with the promise of peace and a new age.

With new cities being built in honour of The 12 Commanders and a new age of peace. A new police force was introduced and introduced to each city to symbolize a form of unity. The Alliance Guard were initially made up of the soldiers and veterans who fought during the civil war.
