Lore

These words effortlessly describe the human society. Since their arrival to Astroth their existence has been filled with everything but peace.
From the beginning humans came to Astroth with various tribes. Idos, Chakura, Kiron and various others. Before arriving in Astroth these three tribes lived in peace. They traded as well as bred amongst each other and lived their lives as one society. In these early yearsthey lived nomadic lives. They tended to follow rivers and fish them while they travelled down them. Life was easy for these tribes. Any quarrels that approached them were met with great force. For the armies of the combined tribes were the strongest in the region.

Although their lives were peaceful, things did eventually change. The elder of Idos decided it was time to stop being nomads. He wanted to settle down and create civilized towns, villages, and a capital city where all the tribes could come together and live their lives. At first the elders of the various tribes were excited for this idea, with only a few exceptions. They had never thought of a permanent home until now. With the idea of creating a home for themselves the tribes quickly got to work at doing just that. They cleared massive forests and created large walls so that nothing may pass them. Taverns, shops, and farms were all constructed within the walls. The tribes continued to build until various villages, towns, and cities spread throughout the land.

To their dismay, the tribes soon found out the real truth behind why the elder of Idos wished to turn their three tribes into one big tribe. The elder, also known as Mattioz MoltenRoot. Mattioz wished to gain the power of all the tribes under one banner so that he may control them for his own good. He wanted to insert his own religion and build up the tribes into one large kingdom under this one religion. At first most of the other tribes were okay with this decision. They did not mind serving under Mattioz. He was a true warlord, and a leader amongst them. But when they found out about the religion they quickly disagreed with him. They firmly believed in the Pantheon. It created a sense of freedom amongst their people. They could serve, worship, or follow any of the gods as they wished. But with Mattioz’s idea they were forced to serve one religion.

Some elders quickly ordered their troops to prepare for war. Others stayed silent, or served Mattioz.The tribes that sent warriors to oppose Mattioz were thoroughly slaughtered in the streets in their march upon the capital. But it did not end there; Mattioz murdered the other tribes if they did not agree to join under his banner and follow his new religion. Everyone that disagreed was either killed, or fled. Thus, the tribes fell into a unified state under Mattioz, or were wiped out by Mattioz.

Once humanity had been unified the Human Kingdom under Mattioz was formed. They had many years of success and prosperity until the Time of Bovvar came. Bovvar made an example out of Mattioz and his people because of his dedication to this new religion. He quickly made it apparent that it was all fake and Mattioz was nothing but a weak, old King. With the Human Kingdom quickly being destroyed by Bovar they would enter the reconstruction phase. Under this phase the gods Cypheus and Magister assisted in the recreation of the Humanity. Various tribes that had once been subjugated formed into distinct nations with new identities. They implanted a new King in the former capital of the previous empire, one that was a boy during the destruction of Mattioz and his religion. With the insertion of King Betin The Reminder they used him as a living memory of what happens when you cross the gods. Betin remembered the happenings with Mattioz and how he crossed the tribes as well as Bovvar.

That is where the Human Kingdoms were left off. With the various nations they live a tense, but quiet peace. Although they know if they cross their gods they will be destroyed much like Mattioz. They live in peace, and tranquility. But some say there is darkness brooding once more. There are nations that now stire up grudges with former neighbors, and bickering lords whose family feuds might turn into blood baths. How far will they go in these squabbles? Only time will tell as the story of the Humans goes on.
