[QUOTE]Genesis of Creation
In the beginning, there was nothing, an endless void of non-existence that pervaded all realities, until it came. It brought all of creation with its will and brought order to the Great Darkness. However, even with stars, galaxies and rocks, its work was not complete.
It, the Creator, sought to make this universe full of life, on many different worlds across the void. So it traveled, from rock to rock, seeding them with life of their own, shaping them to its own desire. Creating paradises on these worlds. However, it was not all meant to be, as the Darkness that had been swept away when Creation was first formed began to materialize as an entity and grow jealous of the power of the Creator. It sought to undo the work that had been done, so when the Creator made servants for itself to watch over the worlds it had seeded, the Darkness took an opportunity. It sought to corrupt the pure creations of the Creator. In the end, one of the brightest of these Guardians was corrupted and twisted into a true force of darkness. The Darkness created an army that would be commanded by the Fallen Guardian to wipe creation clean of the mark of the Creator. One by one, worlds fell to the shadow and fire of the Darkness. The Creator, took notice only after so many of its Guardians and worlds had fallen. So it concocted a plan, to deceive the Darkness and hold it at bay.
On a small, unassuming bare rock, the Creator seeded it with life, but this life was not a paradise, it was with the purpose of creating a world that would be capable of stalling the tides of the Darkness back, to prevent it from encroaching onto other peaceful worlds. From this, came the Mighty Elemental Lords, the Majestic and Powerful Dragons, the Immortal and Stone-Formed San'Layn and the Great Primal Giants of the world. This army was mighty indeed, for when the Darkness came, with its legions of demons and corrupted servants, the armies of the Creator stood fast. The battle ravaged the face of the world countless times, and the cost was terrible, even for the Darkness. It was not until the remaining Guardians and even the Creator itself intervened that pushed the Darkness back to the void from whence it and its servants came from.
In the aftermath of the battle, the Creator looked upon the world and saw fire that had scarred the world so deeply, that the form was no longer uniform and smooth. From this, the Creator worked to heal the poor world for many thousands of years. From this, came the sky, the sea, and the land. Next, the Creator freed the creations from their servitude to live on this world in peace. While many of the San'Layn objected, the others were more than happy to go about their business.
Over time, the lands blossomed with life with the guiding hand of the Creator, the continents grew lush and the seas bountiful, while the San'Layn retreated deep into the bowels of the earth to sleep, the Dragons becoming ever more solitary, and the Great Giants mostly dormant. The Elemental Lords however, as good as they were, were dangerous to the infantile life on this planet. The Creator realized this, and created four planes for each of the elemental lords, where they would be free to live in peace with their creations, keeping the world out of any danger.
Once primitive species began to take shape, the Creator left the world, its work complete. Confident in the inhabitants ability to grow and prosper in peace from any cosmic interference. And for 6000 years, the world lay untouched, as many forms of life came to be. Men, Elves, Dwarves, Cyclops, Beast-men, Orcs, and many others. Some more terrifying than others indeed... as lingering remnants of the Darkness that have remained on the Earth continue to exist... lying in the shadows.
And still... even with its defeat, some say that deep in the darkest corners of Creation... it still lingers... waiting to return to take its vengeance upon the world that had denied it its victory.[/QUOTE]

Welcome, to the world of Alda.
It has been 6000 years since the events of Genesis, and much of its history has been long forgotten amongst most races, except for the most ancient of beings. In this time, life has evolved, with help from the Creator, to bring about the rise of many sentient races that walk the world now. Those races being up to you. With the world in your grasp, will you create a kingdom that will conquer and prosper? Or will you be conquered? Or will you fade away...?
This is a fantasy RP with elements of Nation RP and hero creation in the mix [more on that later].
[QUOTE]GENERAL RULES:
1. Don't be a dick. [Its a game]
2. Nothing unrealistic[in this context] in regards to your turns
3. Have fun!
4. Give turns on time >:(
[/QUOTE]
As usual, you will create a nation from a race of your choosing: elf, man, dwarf, etc. [I will allow custom races but you have to run that by me]
[B][U]HEROES[/U][/B]
Alongside standing armies, you will have the chance to gain a hero in your faction, maybe from battle or from a great deed, or by random luck. These heroes will have talents and skills randomized by me and they will have their uses in one way or another for your faction. However, they are mortal and if you send them charging into battle, they may very well die.
[B][U]MAGIC[/U][/B]
For the sake of balance, only select heroes will be able to use a form of magic [randomized when created].
[QUOTE]Magic came into existence when the Creator came. The Creator embodied all the mystic arts in existence, and when it came to the Earth and shaped it in its image, it left a piece of it behind. Elemental Magic of the four elements [Fire, Earth, Water, Wind] and their lords. Arcane Magic of the Creator itself, with the ability to create amazing constructs with a whim, imbued in all of creation, but only a few able to tap into it. And finally, the magic of life. The ability to command and respect Life and its processes.
However, darker forms of magic exist too, for when the Darkness came to conquer the Earth, it tainted it forever with its presence. Blood magic required sacrifices of people or animals, their blood and souls used in defiling rituals, a foul magic that devastates the land and eventually, the user itself. Shadow magic, of the Darkness itself, that wreaks havoc on the minds and forms of those affected. And finally, the most foul of all the magics is necromancy. The perversion of life, the revival of the dead to serve as corpse-slaves for a master.
While few are able to wield magic, even fewer hold skills to conjure large spells of power.[/QUOTE]
