War…
Lost lives…
The fire that tears lovers apart…
The flames of war are ablaze once again…
It has been a hundred years since the rein of the dragons. Elves have reappeared on the continent of Alengesta; the most famous was Cairn Amandil, the one who slew the Black dragon Acharon. Peace thrived since that day for a hundred years. Haltia, a small but powerful military country, was suddenly over throne by elf named Aaron. Along with his wife Leah he ruled Haltia justly. But he sent his army’s out to concur the entire lower half of Alengesta. The army’s stopped at the boarder of Melchior and was silent for 50 more years. The kingdom of Haltia was no more, it was now known as The Empire of Haltia. At the end of the fifty years, spies from Melchior reported to their king of troop movements towards their boarder. The king of Melchior sent letters to all the kingdoms in the northern part of Alengesta. The kingdom of Larendos, The kingdom of Corridia, The kingdom of Servia, to the elves in Linwood, and even to the Dwarfs in the Cora Mountains. All the kingdoms banded together to form the Alliance, to stop the empire from gaining more land, and perhaps make them lose some of their concurred land. An elf, who lost everything dear to him, prior to rise of the empire will be one of the few who will help destroy the empire.
(All kingdoms except for the Linwood are human kingdoms. Unless otherwise stated ex. Corridia)
The Empire of Haltia
The Empire of Haltia started off as a small kingdom renowned for its extremely well trained soldiers. The kingdom was thriving and land was growing scarce, due to the rise of the population. The people looked to the king for answers, but the king was old and weak and would not go to war to expand his boarders. The people were angry with this and demanded a new king that would solve their problems. An elf named Aaron appeared and offered Glory for Haltia, he promised that he would be a kind and just ruler if they supported him. The people of Haltia agreed and helped overthrow the king. Once Aaron was in the position to take over the throne he did not due it with his sword, but his kindness. He gave the king the chance to live out his days in the castle. The people loved Aaron even more because of his mercifulness. Aaron lived up to his word started to attack kingdom’s for their land, he was also a very kind and just ruler to his people, just like he promised. This act seemed to fuel the army’s of Haltia and they soon concurred the entire lower half of Alengesta. But for some reason they stopped at the boarders of Melchior.
The Kingdom of Melchior
The kingdom of Melchior was known for their fierce warriors as well as their diplomacy with all the kingdoms. The king of Melchior prepared his people for war as the Empire grew closer to their boarders, but when the empire stopped suddenly this caused the people to get nervous. For the past fifty years they have continued to build their army, knowing that one-day the Empire will attack.
The kingdom of Corridia
The kingdom of Corridia is a beautiful country whose Royal families were now made up of elves. The people did not care for that because the King and queen were fair to them. But the king and queen have been grieving for fifty years because their daughter Adriane was killed, along with her husband and daughter in the kingdom of Durloscus. When the kingdom of Melchior sends letters asking for help, they offer it with out any convincing.
The Kingdom of Larendos
Though large the kingdom of Larendos does not have a strong army. Its monarchy is based more upon a republic. The king of Larendos had trouble convincing his people to help their neighboring kingdom Melchior. But when he finally did after a few months of debating, he sent his best knights.
The kingdom of Servia
The kingdom of Servia was the most peaceful out of the four northern kingdoms. But they do have a small armada of fast warships used for both carrying supplies and what little troops they had.
The Kingdom of Durloscus
The kingdom of Durloscus was the place where Cairn Amandil ruled after saving the human princess Serenity. It was mysteriously destroyed before the empire began to rise. The entire royal family was killed along with all of the people in one night. There are rumors that the place is cursed, so no one dares goes in.
The Linwood
The Linwood is a huge forest where the elves fled to during the rein of the dragons. Many people soon thought that Elves were a fairy tale, until Cairn an elf, killed Acharon, the most dangerous Dragon. The Linwood is a magical forest, due to the occupants inside of it. Elves are the only Race able to control the ancient language.
