Miora- First Part
Posted: Fri May 09, 2008 1:52 am
This is the history of Miora, land of the elves. There is more, but I thought I'd give it in pieces. Unfortunatly for you, the first piece is the largest... the actual history.
_________________________________
Back, before the age of evil, there was peace in the world of Miora, a land untouched by the hands of humankind, nor minions of rebellion. The land held in it’s hands the elves; who’s peace remained unconditional, and who’s trust could never be broken, and the dwarves, who’s skill in metal work and mining was beyond that of any other elf or immortal. The land, at the time, was ruled by Theos, the elf king, who was , not only strong in magic and power, but was also believed to be the first being that lived in the land.
His Minister of Music, Corenth, sang him great songs of worship in the lands of Teleios, for that was it’s name then. His songs sang of great deeds to come from the palms of Theos, and the works he had already completed and their wonder. But Corenth became envious of great works of Theos, and began to plot in his head how to destroy him.
While Corenth planned, though, Theos created something new to the eyes of the elves. Humans were found in the west, in lands set aside by Theos for reasons he told no one, not even his own son, Mazevo, who was the great in the eye of Theos. Tragoudi saw these events take place, which stopped his plot to destroy Theos. He began his planning anew, and worked the fickle human heart into the plot.
The humans were allowed, by Theos, to set up a city to live in, which they named Alitheia. They named the total land given to them on the western side Dysi. They built great monuments to Theos, whom they worshipped daily for their creation. In return, Theos granted the humans immortality. Soon, though, the hand of Corenth found it’s way into the land of Alitheia, and twisted the hearts of it’s leaders.
Corenth began to raise an army to begin war; secretly at first, and then publicly to all the nations of Teleios. The Dwarves stood at the side of the peaceful elves, and fought side by side with their friends. The goblins sent by Corenth attacked from the south, forcing the elves and dwarves north, into the Asimi mountains where the dwarves dwelt.
Humanity, at the time, held no army, or knowledge of war and death, but they were neither attacked by the goblins, nor touched by any visible evil hand. Corenth had already began to twist them before the war into believing Theos was going to turn on them, and leave them for dead. Humanity split apart; those who were loyal to Theos began to bicker with those loyal to Corenth, and as always happens, bickering became fighting, fighting became hatred, and hatred became war. Those loyal to Theos were outnumbered in the war, and were easily overrun.
Corenth then built a new army, bent, now, on the destruction of man. He pulled from the soils of Teleios new beings. Trolls, ogres, and banshees pushed down on Dysi, and almost crushed it. As women and children fled to Agkelos (the home of the elves) the men mounted one last defense against Corenth’s great hoards. In the city of Alitheia, humanity made it’s stand, and almost won the battle, if not for Corenth’s appearance during the climax of the fight. His strength overcame every man, every warrior, and every hero that came in his way. Soon, he was in the keep, fighting the last resistance in his way. The Queen of Humanity, who’s rule was given by Theos, was captured by Tragoudi’s banshees, and the banshee’s chained themselves to her, and sucked from her life and joy.
The remaining humans appeared at the feet of Theos, who cursed them with a short life for joining the enemy’s plot in his demise. He cast them away from the lands of the elves, and dwarves, toward the eastern coast. There, the humans build a new country, which they called Aima, and a new city, which they called Alitheia, in honor of the city now destroyed. Dysi was taken by Corenth, and renamed Kolasi. The lands there soon began to fill with water, and become swamps.
There evil stayed hidden for a thousand years, until the regained forces marched out of the gates of Filanthropia to wander the lands surrounding the elves, dwarves, and humans. With the newly claimed lands, Corenth waged war on every faction, making unrest once again in Teleios.
Soon, memories of Corenth slipped away in Aima, and evil was something only read in books, or told in stories. Kolasi, the lands of evil, soon were only mentioned to naughty children, who didn’t do as their mother’s told. Corenth was not defeated, however, and sent evil beings into the human land to turn them to his banner. He knew, the ones who held the humans as allies would gain victory, even in mortality, for they outnumbered all inhabitants of Miora. With them, he could burn the green trees of the elves, and capture the mountains held by the dwarves.
With a new plan set in motion, Corenth had only to wait for the calling of Aima for aid from Kolasi, and the Second War would begin. But his plan was, once again, thwarted.
A group of humans banded together in secret, with the knowledge of the plan of Corenth, and planned to fight back. Claiming lands on the eastern side of Aima, they began to build an army, out of the reach of Kolasi. Aimians persecuted the rebellion, and called them dwarf friends, something seen as an act of evil in Aima. The rebellion was attacked by Aima in a series of battles called the Rebel War, ending in the total destruction of Aima’s side of the border next to the rebellion. The rebels had won. Aima soon ended it’s campaign on the lands of the rebels, and let them be.
With a rebellion in place, it was harder for Corenth to defeat Aima, for the rebellion was vigilantly stopping all of his spies. None-the-less, spies weaved their way through rebellion scouts, and entered the great city of Alitheia.
