Ward History

Chapter 7 - A World Cometh

 

1000’s of years pass, and Ward grew silent. But even silence can be the loudest echo. Over the years, the corruption from the Hell Gate, and the remanence of the angelic light, surged new life.

 

No one is certain how the mortals of Ward came to be, but many years after the Demon King ripped a hole into Ward, new intelligent humanoid races began to emerge.

 

Elves were the first of these races. They were born from the light of the Angels. They mostly kept to the wooded areas of the world and formed societies with nature. They worshipped nature as they wood a God.

 

With the Elves, came another race, the Dark Elves. These beings were formed from the corruption left behind by the demons. They also stayed to the forest, but lived amongst the darker creatures of Ward. They were known to worship the night, and they hated their light skinned counterparts.

 

For years both races of elves would battle over plots of territory in the forest. Back and forth they would exchange land. The Dark elves began to tame the scurrying spiders of the forest to aid them, where as the Elves allied themselves with the Giant Eagles that streaked the skies. 

 

During this time, other creatures began to evolve into the world. Birds that took to the skies, crawling things that scurried across the earth, animals that drank from the rivers, and beasts that hunted the others. The Owl Bear’s first reported appearance was at this time. Though even to this day, he is considered myth.

 

Another race arose from the angelic and demonic powers left behind. Man. Man is a product of light and dark. He is capable of great things of good, and terrible things of evil.

 

With the emergence of man, also came the need to worship. A being only known as The Old God arrived on Ward and commanded the worship of all mortals. Man, being a young race, bowed to the Old God and erected great structures in his name.

 

With the help of the Old God, man spread far and wide. They started as small warring tribes amongst themselves until the Old God bestowed one of the men with the title of King. Now, with a leader, man formed together into a great nation. The Old God spoke to the King and bestowed him a holy mission. To rule Ward.
