## Lore

### Early days

To understand how this came to be we need to first talk about Pliz. He is a man in his mid 20ies that left home in the pursuit of knowledge. The day he set on the adventure in his small boat and with a bag of rations a huge storm came and put him through many hardships. After a long night of struggle he couldn't hold it anymore and the waves crashed him into a bunch of rocks. He later woke up on the shore without any memory of his previous home. Scared and lost, he wandered around the forests for three days. Finally on the fourth day a few houses rose on the horizon. There he met a man who offered him a place to stay and some food. Happy and well fed, Pliz went into the forest to get some fresh air and analyze his surroundings. It was there that it happened.

### Creation

The day Pliz went to the forest was the day that the whole nation shall remember and come back to in times of hardship. He saw a pretty onion flower and went to pick it up. At that moment, he heard a soft and beautiful woman voice calling him. She told him to worship her and she will give him all the knowledge he desires. Blindly following her she led him to a place he is to make a settlement and a worship place for her. The more people he gathers more knowledge he will get. So Pliz created Aluma, a town which is based on the Holy Onion religion.

### Era of dirt

Early in it's creation, the population of Aluma didn't know any technique in building. What they did is quite interesting; they gathered dirt on one spot and shaped a triangle looking shape with support of wooden beams so it doesn't immediately collapse. After a few days the first house was finished and they quickly realized that sleeping on dirt is not really a thing everyone wants. Although they didn't like it, a growing population gave them no choice but to continue building with dirt. As they made more and more houses, Pliz saw an opportunity. He looked up into the trees and took up on himself to design a masterpiece. He use the technique of wooden beams to support a platform which will hang in the air, supported by the trees as well. Other thought he was mad, but he worked day and night to finish his designs. Once he finished, a new era of Aluma began, the "Era of the trees"

### Era of the trees

First house that was finished was an engineering wonder. A wooden platform hanging from a tree, supported by a beam. What seemed impossible was now right in front of their eyes. They were so happy that they celebrated the whole night. Higherups of the village were put into the houses in the trees and the commoners stayed on the ground. It was a wonderful night people of Aluma will never forget. More houses are being built, as well as hanging gardens and farms. Although the Era of the trees just started, there is some sign that a new evolution will come soon...
