Humans and Beasts

And first, humans and beasts were friendly with each other.
But while the beasts revered nature and old ways, the humans were too innovative.
It was the beasts who first discovered the creatures called Chim Chims. When the beasts saw the light of the gods in the Chim Chims, they decided to revere them as a legacy of the gods. But the humans captured the Chim Chims to research them and, after discovering a way to extract energy from them, used them to invent steam machines. The beasts protested this treatment, but the humans would not listen.
As the humans' use of steam technology advanced, they abandoned magic as old and obsolete. The beasts continued ot revere magic culture and rejected steam technology. Humans scoffed at the beasts for being stubborn and small-minded, and beasts came to despise the humans' foolishness.
Eventually the beasts decided they coudl not leave the Gods' Rebrith to the fools and proclaimed that they too would participate in the Gods' Rebirth. Folset granted their participation. Humans were outraged. They believed Gods Rebirth was their right.
The two sides' antagonism toward each other bgan to deepen, and finally war broke out.
Humans gathered their armies and steam weapons, but found their weapon production was lagging behind. Desperate, they built the great factory of Breg Epona, but still they were unable to create the necessary weapons.
Beasts were mighty in the ways of magic but small in numbers. They wer eunable ot marshal a large enough army.
Humans were weaker but more numerous. beasts were stronger, but fewer in numbers.
And the war continued to rage on.
