-History

When human tribes of unkown origin in southern Calandour fled the ravaging Bandits, Grellers & Beast Lords, they moved north east & the tribes eventually settled in an rich & fertile land known as Winajaraldum, however, one tribe settled near a long running river, for they had discovered a Lava Sprout & they were safe for now as the enemies decided not follow them.

With the discovery of Lava Sprout, trade soon flourished, but it would it would only take a century before Zentharians, also known as the Slaver Empire found & subjugated them.

After decades of oppression and tyranny, and many failed rebellions, however, one day the daughter of Cerendar's tribe leader were helping some innocent woman being beaten by a drunk Zentharian soldier, she were killed.

When Aston Arkinan learned of his daughters death, he went into a fury & started a secret training regime, and after a few months, they struck so brutal & fast that the Zentharians barely had time to organise any formations, the news of this new rebellion spread like wildfire & since Zentharians Empire were located in Continent of Ail, that means they had to draw reinforcements from other tribes to quell the rebellion, this then meant the other tribes barely had any garrisons left.

The mighty Zentharian main army were on their way & Aston Arkinan knew that the armour & weapons provided by the Dwarves alone could not save them from the sheer number of the enemy, and so Aston reorganised the military structure & with he help of Dwarven Enginners & Elven Rangers, they learned how to operate artilleries such as Ballistas, Catapults while the Elves thought Bow techniques & thus began a training regime the world had never seen before.

Years later, on a late summers day, the Zentharian army arrived on the horizon, between 700,000 - 800,000 strong, Aston learned of this & with the aid of the Elves, they prepared an ambush at Strait of Cerendar, setting up archers at the cliff sides and ballistas at the shores.

Waiting in anticipation, the scouts reported that a vast majority of Zentharian fleet was heading for the Strait, luckily for Aston & his forces, the weather was foggy and obscurred their view & their ships slowly sailed into the ambush.

However, when the large ships sailed into the narrow Strait, disaster struck as they got clogged up, blocking the retreat of the smaller cogs & preventing any support, the Zentharians had only one option & that was to leave their transport & land on the shore where the main Winajraldum army was waiting, Aston seeing this opportunity, ordered the ballistas & Elves to release their arrows, slaying hundreds Zentharians each volley.

Even the Zentharian managed to land a few thousand of infantry at the shore, the Winajaraldum & Elves managed to keep them at bay & about 2 hours later, 40,000+ Zentharians had lost their lives & even though it was just a small part of the invading force, the news of this slaughter made Zentharians no longer view the Winajaraldums as simple tribesmen but as skilled soldiers & tactical genius
