Lore

The Beginning
No one actually knows how the creator of everything came to be, it seems they have been here for all of existence. The world was originally created by the god Factorem, God of Creation. Factorem created all including the other gods. During the beginning, Humans were the only humanoid like race to inhabit Arkias while other races such as the Cobalus, Dwarves, Elves, Cimex, etc. lived on Elsia. The Dwarves and Elves began their Bronze Age while other races were still in the Stone Age.

The Bronze Age
Other races begin to enter the Bronze Age and form tribes and learn metal working and language. The Dwarves and Elves go through their Silver Age when types of government, knowledge, and magic were discovered. The gods began to develop their power more and began to influence things around the world. Even Factorem, a very withdrawn god, took a liking to the Dwarves due to their intelligence, creativity, and inventions. The Elves were very problematic and snobbish leading to Factorem not giving them his blessings.

The Silver Age
The Elven Empire is formed as elvish soldiers slowly begin to colonize all of Elsia. Smaller Cobalus begin to show up and are quickly cast out of their tribal towns due to their very small stature. The dwarves, watching it all unfold, quickly take in the brand new goblin race and flee underground. Some dwarves decide to stay outside and be colonized by the elves. The underground city formed by the goblins and dwarves would be named Arx. On Arkias, humans would form kingdoms and factions and war would soon ensue.

The Discovery Age
The first ships would be made and elves and humans would begin to leave their continents. Elves and the races they enlisted would discover small and large islands off the coast of Elsia. This is what would lead to the spread of Vampirism and the Erant Parasite. Those infected would bring the disease home. During this time, humans didn't just discover small continents, an expedition led by William Gray-Feather, Son of Mason Gray-Feather, would discover an entirely new continent, Elsia. This discovery would lead to thousands of humans arriving and interacting with the many races of Elsia. Elves would decide to not colonize the humans.

The Blood Age
William Gray-Feather would order Augustus Gray-Feather, General of the Gray-Feather Army, to invade Elsia and destroy the Elven Empire. The war caused by this action would lead the races that were under the rule of the elves to rebel. They would claim independence and form their own nations. The Elven Empire, on the edge of collapse, would create their own underground city. Roupwell, the elven capital, would fall. Roupwell would be conquered by the Gray-Feather Family and renamed to Graycliff, the elven king was missing and his body has never been found. The dwarves would discover the secret underground elven city and would warn the humans. The city is raided and the elven general dies, the last of the elves are hunted down and slaughtered. The Cobalus are also hunted to extinction due to them going on their own path and trying to form their own empire and take control over all of Elsia.

The New Age
Elsia tries to repair itself. There are strange cosmic disturbances, causing new races and forms of magic to appear. The main kingdoms begin to form such as the Kingdom of Graycliff, the Kingdom of Magnonia, and the Kingdom of Silva. The descendants of the Cobalus and Elves would begin to pop up, including the ogres, orcs, ashlanders, and glacies. A curse would be put on all of the Kingdom of Silva, leading to constant rain and the fighting against the monsters of mud. The dwarves would introduce blasting powder to the world, they would also create bombs, muskets, and cannons.

Modern Age
The current age began during the start of the Northern War. After land disputes between Magnonia and Graycliff, Magnonia would launch a surprise attack South against the Cimex Kingdom and West against Graycliff. The attack was quite a surprise, it could be that Magnonia wants to make their own empire. Due to this large war, the economy took a large hit and governments began focusing more on the war then the people. Several protests and riots would break out due to large famines. With soldiers fighting in a war, there wasn't many left to stop crime. Crime rates in cities would rise and outside of towns people are forced to travel with guards to not get killed by large gangs of bandits. The country side is completely lawless now. Insurgency groups are beginning to pop up and socialist ideas are beginning to form in the angry people.
