Map of the Daedalon

Once a land of beauty and nature, after the events of the Godless War, the land has lost all of its majesty, in exchange for barren wastelands and ruin. After the death of Arshitac, the land has devolved significantly, with very little new life emerging. The vast majority of land is dominated by barren deserts, largely controlled by the vile enslaving Holy Alliance, a faction led by humans and half-orcs. Other regions include the canyons of Stonefall, the Gravelands, and the plains of Loss. Dominant races in The Daedalon include humans, half-orcs/orcs, dwarves and mul.

## History

The primary god of the Daedalon was Arshitac, the legendary god of nature. The Daedalon was once the golden heart of Perion, flourishing with life of all sorts. This ancient period was known as The Flourishment, wherein Daedalon was a beautiful natural reserve, with mountains, lakes, rivers and forests. During this period the two dominant races were the Minotaurs, who lived in harmony with the land in a primitive and unorganised society. The second and less populated race were the wise Drey, ancient scribes and sorcerers who held the ancient secrets of the land and its arcane nature. The Wisemen were disciples of Arshitac, placed on the land in order to protect it from outside forces. Thus, with this balance, the Daedalon flourished.

However, as time passed the Daedalon began to be watched by lustful eyes. Humans from Bahmir, Dwarves from Triondor and Orcs from Tomondo made a simultaneuous rush to bring the land under their respective rule. The Minotaur and Drey were helpless to defend their world, and they were pushed back as the fires of industry scorched the land. As the balance of nature was thrust further and further into disarray, Arshitac's power continued to withdraw. Ever the pacifist, Arshitac refused to use force against the attackers, despite the Drey's protest.

Here in the story comes in Palgor. This Mul warrior exemplified extreme prowess during Dwarven skirmishes against the Minotaur's and Half-Orcs, so much so that he became the Dwarven Champion and Supreme General of their forces. It was unusual for a Mul to hold such a position, but Palgor's aggression and stature allowed him to become an exceptional case. The Primary Drey temple, Arshitac's Gaze (Now the Capital of the Holy Conquest). Sacked and looted by the Dwarven warriors, a number of holy relics were taken, including the Green Axe, a gift from Arshitac to the Drey, an axe gifted with the power to cut through any tree in one slice. This gift was given to the Drey, in the hopes that they would be able to control the population of the forests, and thus maintain a natural balance. Now, in the hands of Palgor, it became an abominable weapon.

After the Dwarves' repeated military successes in the Daedalon, Human and Half-Orc forces formed an uneasy alliance, the keep the Daedalon under control of the continent's people. The two armies formed together outside Arshitac's gaze, to face Palgor's forces. As the two forces lined opposite eachother, Arshitac descended from his heavenly residence. Despite the Drey's protest, Arshitac believed he could sway the driving force of the invasion, Palgor, to stop the destruction. The Dwarves and Mul were shocked as Arshitac, an all powerful god, knelt before Palgor and beeseched him to end the war without any greater violence. Despite his ability to destroy either force, Arshitac did not believe in that kind of intervention. In return for his care, Palgor drew his hidden weapon, the Green Axe, and in a flurry of blows, decapitated Arshitac and removed his four limbs from his torso. Such was the power of the Green Axe, and the weakness of Arshitac after the loss of his power, that it could overcome his divine defences. Driven by rage on both sides, the Battle of the Gaze unleashed, with heavy losses on both sides.

Thus, the events of the Godless war unfolded. Whilst the Dwarves were previously viewed as a mere competitor from overseas, with the news of Arshitac's death at the hands of a mul, hatred of the new competitors drew closer even the rivalling human and orc nations. Further, this new faction, known as the Holy Alliance, drew sympathy from the Minotaur, despite their previous subjugations. After seeing the results of their artefacts on the world, the Drey withdrew, unwilling to impact the world further for fear of inciting even more violence.

Here enters the second champion of this story, Rshtak the Mightiest of Drey. As only a mere apprentice, this sorcerer's sheer power could rival that of the elders', who had been studying for hundreds of years. By the time he was an adult, Rshtak was by far the strongest mage in The Daedalon. Unsatisfied with the Wisemen's continued proclamations of remaining passive in the dispute, Rshtak's idleness began to affect him. As rage against the dwarves who had slayed their god built up, Rshtak eventually left the Wisemen, seeking out the Holy Alliance. The Yellow Drey quickly impressed the generals of the Alliance, and with his great power and eloquent speech, rose to ultimate power in the alliance. This was the turning point of the godless war; Rshtak, with his immense primal power could destroy endless amounts of the Dwarven armies, and his enchantment of his half-orc soldiers could turn them into mindless slathering juggernauts.

The war was set to end where it began, at Arshitac's Gaze, where the remains of Palgor's army defended. The Battle of the Vision begun, with the Dwarven armies leading a final all-out assault, led by Palgor himself. However, Rshtak's power was too great, and the alliance's ultimate power of The Daedalon was enforced, with the Dwarves receding to the Stoneloft. There are many rumours as to what happened to Palgor, though most believe he died. Thus, the Holy Alliance became the prime power in the Daedalon. In the coming years, Rshtak would work to and eventually suceed at making it a nation independent from Bahmir and Tomondo. And the rest, they say, is history.
