== Opening Narration ==
It is said that at the time before time, before the 14 even set foot in “The World”. Chaos held its grip and the Titans, the cruel progenitors before the 14, reigned supreme. However, the Creator sought to end their tyranny and so he created, the Dragons, powerful creatures with the ability to fly and breath fire. The Dragons then descended from Heaven to “The World” to wage war against the Titans, but the Titans were extremely powerful beings, capable of battling the Dragons. Because of this, the War between the Dragons and Titans lasted for centuries, with neither side gaining victory. However eventually the Dragons triumphed and the Titans were driven from “The World”, but before he left with his people, the king of the Titans swore to the Dragons that they would be betrayed and that they’d one day return to seek their revenge. With the Titans gone the 14, which included humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, goblins, trolls, faeries, dark elves, satyrs, leprechauns, halflings, centaurs, corvuses and lepros, were finally able to enter “The World”. Under the Dragons wisdom and benevolent guidance, the 14 became great and mighty. They built cities, founded kingdoms and for a time lived in peace with each other. However as time went by the 14 began to grow restless, they even began use their knowledge against each other, to enslave each other. Eventually the 14 took up arms against each other, raging wars against each other. Eventually they also turned on the dragons, at first they captured them for their wisdom. But soon there came the Slaughter of the Drakes, a cruel event in which countless dragons were slaughtered, even nests full of dragon eggs weren’t spared the carnage. It seemed that the dragons were doomed to be exterminated from the world, however a group of beings from the 14, who remained loyal to the dragons, helped them flee into hiding. The departure of the dragons left a mark on the 14, the elves, dwarves, faeries, satyrs, leprechauns, halflings, centaurs and lepros were left horrified by their actions against each and vowed to never take up arms against each other again. The orcs, goblins, trolls, dark elves and corvuses, whilst never fighting amongst against each other, would still rage war against the other races to this day.
