## **Major Events**

### **The War of the Ages**

The War of the Ages was a war fought between Humans, Elves, and Dwarves. The war ended over 300 years ago. The Humans founded the city of Zarus when they first discovered Valmaria. The city was named for their deity, Zarus. Zarus is the god of all humans, and believed humans deserved to rule the world. They discovered the elves in The Old Wood. After discovering their superior intellect and bloodlines, they enslaved the men to fight in their armies, and the women to birth children with their enhanced Elven blood. The Humans discovered the Dwarves in the mountains, and enslaved them to mine for them, and create armor and weapons for them.

The Elves and Dwarves joined together and revolted against the Humans. This started the 50 year war that was The War of the Ages. During the war, it appeared that the Elves and Dwarves were going to lose, until the Dragonborn, Gnomes, and Halflings joined the war.

The Humans eventually had a coop and executed the entire Monarch. The Humans then elected Nhasheen Auberon as their leader. Over the next few hundred years, the Auberons made peace and eventually became the Protector of the Realm. Nhasheen Auberon III became the first Protector, and Nhasheen Auberon the V is the current Protector.

### **The Scour**

The Scour is an evolving event where a group of mages, The Unseen, are plotting to wipe out all humans on Valmaria. Their plan is to open a portal so Selvetarm can escape onto the realm.
