The History of Rhye




The Ancient Times


The universe originally consisted of a formless void called 
Chaos, and Akasha(whose name means "the Source")was the only light there was. 
Then he filled the void with light, separating night from day. When he did this, 
the brightest lights came to life as angels, to serve him and be heralds of his 
will. He then created the world of Rhye with their help. 


Salis was the chief angel, and he aided Akasha in populating 
the world with creatures that were suited to their environment. Salis had the 
power to change life into different forms, but he could not create it. That 
right was reserved solely by Akasha. Salis loved his work, though, and Akasha 
was pleased with what he did. Some of his efforts were practical and pragmatic, 
altering creatures to better suit their environment. Others were fanciful and 
wild, yet beautiful to behold. Salis' passion for change soon became an 
obsession, and he became ever more fascinated with the remnants of the primeval 
Chaos from which Akasha had shaped the universe. It still existed, and its very 
nature was to reclaim the universe as its own again. Salis(along with many other 
angels who were won over by his smooth words)became its willing servant, and 
works to further its goals to this day. 


In the most ancient times, the world of Rhye was shared by men, 
elves, and dragons. Men were little more than cavemen at this time, not even 
believed to be sentient by their elven neighbors or by the dragons that actually 
hunted them for food. The elves built magnificent arboreal cities in the forests 
of the north and inhabited beautiful underground oases in the deserts of Mobia. 
Aquatic elves built underwater cities in the tropical waters of the Southern 
Ocean. 


Years passed before Salis was bold enough to openly rebel 
against his creator. By this time, he had literally become a shadow of his 
former self. In fact, all of the angels who followed Salis down his dark path(a 
full third of their number)were now comprised of living darkness instead of the 
living light they had started out as. Salis descended to Rhye and corrupted a 
tribe of men in the north, and they became his followers. Hideously warped by 
their dealings with Chaos, some of them were no longer even recognized as men. 
This is how orcs came about. They were accompanied by trolls, hideous malformed 
brutes standing as tall as a dragon. The origin of trolls is unclear, though 
some believe they were once men as well. There were those also who were not 
physically transformed, and were indistinguishable from other men except for 
their lifeless black eyes. Many were taught by Salis' demons to channel the raw 
power of chaos and weave it into powerful magic. 


They swept southward, meeting and destroying many tribes of 
men. Others they assimilated and they continued to grow in number. The force of 
chaotic magic combined with the terror inspired by orcs and trolls was 
devastating. Mankind put up virtually no resistance, and the elves, though they 
fought valiantly, were overmatched. Not a single elf was converted to Chaos, for 
they do not believe in surrender and cannot be tricked or cajoled into 
conversion. 


Before long the elf population had dwindled to practically nil, 
and then dragons came into the picture. They had been content to stay out of the 
way of trouble until they realized that mankind, their favorite prey, was either 
being destroyed or being equipped to fight a winning battle against them. At the 
same time, elves, the only other intelligent species in the world and heretofore 
their most formidable opponent, was being decimated by this new enemy. This was 
certainly cause for concern. 


In dragons, the Salisian hordes finally met their match. 
Leatherback dragons, who can alter their skin color like chameleons and moved 
with alarming speed for such a large creature, waged deadly guerrilla warfare 
against the enemy in the hardwood forests of the north. Brasshides, the 
strongest of dragon breeds and able to burrow through the sands of the desert, 
ensured that the Salisians would fear to even walk in the deserts of Mobia. Even 
the amphibious Drakes came ashore from their oceanic homes to aid their cousins 
in the great war. None of the dragons were affected by fear as humans were, and 
they also proved curiously resistant to the direct effects of magic. As the 
dragons held back the advance of Chaos, Akasha intervened on behalf of all life. 
He sent angels to bring to him the greatest champions of dragonkind, and granted 
them powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal dragons. He gave them wings 
with which to swoop down on the enemy, and expanded their lifespan near 
indefinitely. He taught them to focus the light of creation into powerful magic 
with which to combat Salis' chaotic sorcerors. They were also granted the 
ability to breathe fire, electricity, or pure cold. Akasha also made them 
promise never to eat the flesh of humans again, and to make sure that their 
dragon kin would do likewise. 


From that point forward, the outcome of the war was inevitable. 
The dragons would win. They destroyed the Salisian hordes utterly, and Salis and 
his demons fled. The world was once again at peace. With the elves virtually 
gone, and no fear of predation by dragons, mankind began to flourish and spread. 
Their technology quietly advanced to the equivalent of medieval Earth, and they 
shared the world with dragons and what few elves were left.

Forget your singalong and your lullabies 
Surrender to the city of the 
fireflies
Dance with the devil in beat with the band
To Hell with all of 
you
Hand-in-hand
But now it's time to be 
gone
Forever
