Realm of the Rising SunHistory:

For thousands of years the Elves Dominated the Realm, their influence spread across the land to the

northern waste and west to the great deserts, they worshiped to gawds of nature an balance but found

that when tribes of men, orcs and ogres began to multiply in their realm such balance was impossible to

maintain, so they used their superior knowledge and magic to conquer and enslaved the lesser

species, turning them into a military and labor force to expand their influence.

The Empire of the Rising sun reigned over the realm for millenia, the Elves grew decadent, and they

became callous and cruel to their slaves performing various interbreeding experiments of them to make

the perfect slave, feasted on pixie meat, and dabbled in dark magics. This sowed the seeds of rebellion

among the subjugated.

Among the humans a secret order was established to learn the elves magical knowledge they gathered

this knowledge via any means and reserved it for future generations of men

A sect of Ogres breed using various magics found that they could command powerful magical forces.

Over the course of 300 years they fought against their oppressors forming an alliance, whittling down

the elves resources and using their own magical might against them. The rebellion was hard fought butin the end the realm was free, those that were not killed were enslaved by their former slaves while the

rest fled into the wild.

The rebellion split into 3 empires, Humans took, the Golden Island as their own, the Ogers and orcs took

the Jade Mountain in the west and a splinter group of Mages that practiced Blood Magic and

Necromancy took the Obsidian Tower in the north. Some have gone back o their more primitive ways

and a collection of barbarian tribes known simply as the Horde roams the outlands.

It has been 500 years since the rebellion (500AR) the Golden Empire is thriving as is there staunch allies

the Jade Empire, 100 years ago a group of Dwarves came to their shores offering trade form the farther

reaches of world.

The exiled elves sulk in the Feywild and plot revenge calling themselves the Shadow hunters,

In the northern waste the Obsidian Empire is now a looming threat and their Dread Pirate fleetterrorizes the seas.
