Thread: Changing of the Colours :: The War Rages [ Karameida x Cheshire Smirk ]

A History of Abiasien Year, 224 Abiasien, a world home to a rare dragonkin called the Alatar Elentri. The planet is rather small in comparison to some but the inhabitants are a race of fierce warriors. Through the years the Alatar Elentri have lived in relative peace with only a few war's marring it's past. But, a hundred years ago...the Nonoic war was started. It was a long and cruel war and many of the Alatar Elentri lost their lives in the struggle. There were two distinguished clans among the Alatar Elentri, The Erdien and The Azh'nemarr. They were bitter enemies. No one now -with the exception of Rowiel and Sinmarra- can even recall what started the intense hatred that sprung between them. Under the rule of King Aouh an uneasy truce was forged between the rival clans. There were small skirmishes but there were no large battles nor loss of life. The King -who resided in Annatar, Abiasien's capitol city- soon fell gravely ill and shortly thereafter....died. With no heirs of his own, the throne was there for whoever could take it. Rowiel of The Erdien and Sinmarra of The Azh'nemarr both claimed they had a right to rule. And with that, the unstable truce with which they had lived by for so long....finally came to an end. Thus the beginning of the Nonoic war. The war went back and forth neither side gaining an advantage over the other. For so long they captured, lost and recaptured lost ground dragging in the many innocent Alatar Elentri who had nothing to do with either side. Finally The Erdien landed a telling blow on The Azh'nemarr with the capture of the city of Tarathiel. With the end within sight The Erdien became even more merciless in their pursuits. Victory soon followed. In the final battle, Rowiel herself fought. She went against the general of the army and brought him down. The Erdien nearly annihilated the entire Azh'nemarr clan. Indeed, they thought they had. It finally seemed that the war that many thought would rage forever finally came to an end. The Erdien, finally free of their enemies and having successfully placed their leader on the throne of Abiasien, celebrated in glorious triumph for a sennight. The rest of the Alatar Elentri -who were happy to finally be free of the bloody war- celebrated with them. In a grand ceremony, Rowiel officially ascended to the royal palace in Annatar and sat on the throne becoming Abiasien's next ruler. And for the next hundred years, peace settled back over the lands. Slowly the deep scars that the fierce war had caused slowly began to heal. For a century The Erdien have lived in glory and comfort, content in the knowledge that their enemies were extinct. Or so they thought... The Azh'nemarr had not died out in the war, instead they had retreated into the shadows and had stayed in hiding biding their time and slowly increasing their numbers, bringing them back from the precipice of oblivion. Forced to live on the fringes of society their hatred and determination has grown. They stir in the shadows in anticipation of their return and their triumph over The Erdien. The war that raged so fiercely in the past will be resurrected and will once more consume Abiasien. The peace that the world had come to know was now on borrowed time.
