Kaltrian empire

## DARK AGE

Kaltria wasn’t formed in good terms or of will, the history of kaltria is one of fear, violence, but also passion and the strongest of wills, the will of destroying the darkness that sieged those who they loved and the will of making peace even with their enemies.

### **CHAPTER I: THE FORGE (2000 AO-1200 AO)**

In ancient times the now Kaltrian peninsula was home of one of the best craftsmen of the world, but when the gods disappeared from Gaia, the once protection they had disappeared and darkness surrounded them.

The Kylians, artisans of all known, old craftsmen of the gods now were hunted for their ability and weapons, annihilated, massacrated, women raped and kids killed. Wrath and revenge moved them, the only motive to live was revenge.

Then a whisper, like a light breeze, indicated them a path and guided them to the east, a hill surrounded by touching the sea and surrounded by a river and there a small tribe, both leaders meet and a pact was made, but not by them but by their guiders, the gods spoke in the sand.

For one side the Kylians, pride craftsmen, able to produce whatever they were requested and on the other the called Karesians, both of them were called as the now ones that protected them. The karesians, were skilled warriors which were not afraid to fight monsters, for they believe their purpose was wrote in the destiny and their purpose was the defense against the darkness.

Then it was born in what they called their “Hogar”, their home, and with the now considered brothers.

### **CHAPTER II:THE LIGHT (1119 AO- 400 AO)**

The now brother tribes forged themselves in a brotherhood pact,the Kylians making use of the copper of the area and with the help of the keresians made furnaces and worked the metal while defences and proper houses made of mud bricks were made, the village became a light, and as all lights, the monsters were attracted to it and there the battle was made.

The monsters appeared from the nearby forest as the brothers put on their armor and prepared to fight, then the first chosen by the tribes and the gods pronounced itself with the words that echo through the eternity and must remind the mind of all proper kaltrian.”Hermanos, no temáis, pues el enemigo carece de aquello que da poder al guerrero que enfrenta a la muerte, carecen de amor, el amor por la familia y los hermanos, el amor y la voluntad de defender aquellos que con toda convicción hemos jurados en las largas noches de guardia, frío y lluvia proteger aunque el coste sea la vida, pues la sonrisa de aquellos que protegemos ilumina toda sombra de duda y temor y unta el alma con valentía y sacrificio, hombres de Kaltria, nuestro pueblo y hogar están en peligro, no retrocedamos. POR LA LUZ !!!!!”

(Brothers, do not fear, because the enemy lacks that which gives power to the warrior who faces death, they lack love, love for family and brothers, love and the will to defend those that we have sworn with conviction. In the long nights of guard, cold and rain protect even if the cost is life, because the smile of those we protect illuminates every shadow of doubt and fear and anoints the soul with courage and sacrifice, men of Kaltria, our people and home are in danger, let's not back down. FOR THE LIGHT !!!!! ")

The battle became a torch in the darkness as the monsters were defeated and people came to the light in search of security. However even though after that battle the monsters lost large quantities of power in the area the problems for the now kaltria city just had started. However now the light was watching every move they made.

### **CHAPTER III: KALTRIA (399 AO - 5 AO)**

Kaltria took the surrounding lands and made them secure, farming became safe and people  started to make villages, meanwhile kaltria grew. However not all those years were peace, many that wanted the town and what it meant, however repeatedly they face the worst of the oppositions, as the kaltrians were not strong because their craftsmen but also their warriors, warriors that defended the town from all attacks, spear and shield stopped all the aggressors, all those who searched for the destruction of the beacon of hope.

As a new horizon approached the kaltrians made what they were best at, they prepared, the only way the kaltrians could survive was power and they knew what they had to do.

However a story that must not be ignores is that from the union of the founder tribes a child was born in the year 24 A.O, Diomedes, future king and emperor of the Kaltrians,
