Balistag

**Balistag**is the ancestral broadsword of House Terison, using the reforged Thunderfury, the ancestral sword of House Noland and Susano, a Stagunian blade, at the end of the Rabarian Civil War and War of the Two Great Cities

## History

After Sean II was defeated at the end of the Rabarian Civil War, Decland wielded Susano as his weapon but felt displeased with it. Upon being coronated, many people from the states of Pacif came to present gifts to the new king. The people of Naporia presented a shard from which Decland had a love for its beauty. He ordered a blacksmith from Capital City to come and forge the blade and the shard together. The result was Balistag.

### With House Terison

After forged by a blacksmith, Decland the First wielded the blade and kept it with him for his entire reign, holding it in his left hand whilst on the throne. It passed to his son and continued in the line of Terison to King Karpin I. During the War of the Two Great Cities, Karpin used Balistag to slay Decland XXI's son, John, which according to legend stained the tip of the blade.

After the war, the troops found the ancient sword Thunderfury of House Noland and presented it to King Karpin I. The king had a great admiration for it, and knowing that the blade of Balistag was forged with a shard of Thunderfury, he ordered for it to be remade using the now obtained Thunderfury.

Balistag was cited as one of the sharpest blade in the entire of Fly which resulted in the blade being involved in no more wars and during the reign of King Karpin Terison III, he gave the blade to his brother, Faro Terison.

COMETFELL
Elves

Elves are a major race in Rise of Darkness and even more important in Shards of Fire, they are one of the three main humanoid creatures of the land.

## About

Elves are tall gentle beings, often being 2.5 metres tall, which spend most of their time reading books, caring for nature and travelling to distant lands. They are mocked by the dwarves who say they are field-lovers although the humans respect them. The average age of an elf is from 100 to 150 years old, although the oldest elf was 3,500 years old (but this is disputed).

### Lesser Elves

Lesser elves were elves in the Age of Creation with supposed weak bloodline that became extinct sometime around 135,000 BS. Unlike other races, lesser elves could become full elves by mixing two lesser elf genes together but when added with a full elf or other race, the offspring would be one or the other and never lesser.

## History

Along with Humans and Dwarves , they were created roughly around the same time. Elves were given the ability of being taller than the other two races along with the abillity of communicating with nature via basic magic however this was removed during the fall of the Forest Guardians.

Elves were once peaceful creatures and founded great cities however during a war between men and dwarves, they began hateful and corrupted which caused them to lose several of their great cities including Flaeoria and Fallow.

Unlike many other kingdoms, the Elves are more of an empire; cities being overruled by one king/queen. They are also famous for having the most queens than any other race. Here is a link to the Elven Family Tree.

However, Brom was still classed as King of Dragonbreath, so he abdicated the throne of Dragonbreath and gave it to Egeus, who was the heir to the throne.

By 34 AS, he rebuilt Capital City with the hope of restoring the Alliance, which he was successful. He also planned to rebuild the dreams of the West and removing the taint from the land. The whole process of rebuilding the world took twenty years to be put into action. He also gave Hori a proper burial in the Catacombs of Capital City.

However the people of Saroff dissapproved with Brom's actions and a short battle was caused in the Desert of Roff. Thanks to Brom's genius tactics, he won the battle by Saroff surrendering. Instead of killing the Sultan and enslaving the entire city, Brom offered Saroff their freedom and his grief for the death of Dancia Suncrack.

Fire of Capital City

The **Fire of Capital City**is the mass burning of Capital City in 8,101 BS by the dragon Valcruez. The burning left many books, which detailed the history beforehand, in cinders and half of the poor district in ruin. The fire lasted over a month, starting in the early morning of the 2nd of September.

## History

For years beforehand, the dragon Valcruez was known to be growing larger in the Core and destroying local villages. At the time, Valcruez posed no immediate threat so the city made no action against the beast. The dragon was now over a thousand years old at this point and had a wingspan of over 500 metres.

According to an eyewitness account, the dragon flew around the city walls once at the stroke of midnight but the guards saw no threat of  the beast. Finally, the dragon entered from the south-west and immediately starting setting fire to the market streets, bakers, butchers' and other merchants homes. A horse and cart was called which held over a hundred pales of water but the long, hot summer left many of the buildings dry and crispy.

When the king awoke, no-one informed him of the dragon fire as the beast headed north, burnt a portion of Elvish farmland before flying away. Many lords believed the fire was innocent and could easily be put out so only limited water was supplied. Two days later and the entire market district and farmland area was completely burnt and then the king was informed.

Immediately, the king ordered to burn his treasures, tie up any man who runs and await the coming flames, believing it to be a test of the Holders. Despite the monarch's commands, many did flee and head somewhere else.

The area is known to have dark soil that burns when standing for long periods of time. The grass is known to crackle underfoot, but it heads to form a giant crater. East still of that is the Smouldering Cities, where many towns and cities once lived before they were burned down by the last dragons. On the south coast of the continent is long chalk cliffs that make it impossible for ships to land at. To the north of this continent is the Bride of the Lorekeepers which is a giant limestone bridge that connects up to Capital City, an entire city built on the small island that is the centre in all of the world's politics.

### Fauna and Flora

The lands of Roda are said to hold the mysterious Black Shuck although this is under much debate.

### Climate

The far west of Roda is often quite rainy as it is quite a marshy area with very high humidity. For the rest of the continent, it is of an average heat with common 20 degrees celcius

Siege of Dorathons

The **Siege of Dorathons**was a single siege between the Alarish Armada and elven raiders from Ilkari against the armies of Naporia during late spring 610 BS that resulted in Captain Alarish's arrest and death.

## History

Over the past 19 years, Captain Alarish Kinovo had become the greatest sailor and quarath in the northern hemisphere of Fly and was a great threat to Naporia and Capital City who were incredibly rich during this time. During late winter 610 BS, the captain of his armada was discussion deals with the elven town of Ilkari. After several hours, Alarish had gained over 200 elven raiders all across the Roda continent for his big mission, taking down Naporia.

Fears soon began when the hand of the king uncovered plans about a siege on the main castle of Naporia, Dorathons,to begin in mid-May. The king was instructed and along with his general, began discussing plans to cope with the threat on the castle.

The main castle of Dorathons had two main entrances, only accessible by two bridges; the north and the west bridges. So on the day of the siege, most of the guards were placed on the west gate leaving it unable to attack. The naval attack began early morning, which the king knew he was going to be defeated in so relied on his ground troops.

Just like how the king planned it, Alarish succeeded in the naval battle and landed on the far south side of the River Amook. Alarish had to rely on his elven raiders to bypass the guards but saw an opening in the northern bridge and commanded his men to attack that bridge instead. A secret deal was made with the oldest house in Naporia of House Lawon where guards would be given to help Alarish's attack on the castle.

As the troops attacked the gate on the northern bridge, after killing the ten guards on duty, a spark was lit underneath the moat of the castle. An explosion occurred and the north bridge was blown up, killing a large majority of Alarish's troops.

Knowing his incoming defeat, Alarish planned to be smuggled out of the city on a small schooner but this failed as the guards of Naporia found the captain and arrested him for treason which he was tried and later executed.
Skafo

The **Skafo** or **Skyfolk**are a small collection of people who wish to not stick to the ground but instead help pursuit flying machines such as handgliders and airships.

## History

It's true origins are not known, but are cited as being during the 500's BS in which twenty humans travelled to Útgeer in which they set up a small colony in order to invent great flying machines. For over 400 years, they used the invention of handgliders and making them easier to use for others.

But everything changed after Migeaul Damos' death in which his plans for an airship were found and later developed by the Skafo. For several years, they developed the concept of an airship and soon built it to what it is today. Building them and using them to travel to distant lands to pick up resources.

When the War of the Darkness began, a deal was made between the Skafo and the people of Questoz which involved the creating of an airship armada to be used. The Skafo followed up on this plan and made roughly over 30 airships that could be used in combat although they always argued:

*"Air is free. Air is not bound to the earth like other things. It is because air is free that we have no involvement of war. But at a scale like this, an army of airships would help nicely bring balance to the world."*
Story: Blossoms of Staguni

***Blossoms of Staguni***is an origin story on how the cherry blossom trees of Staguni were able to bloom no matter the time of year. The story originally appeared in Chapter 7 of The Lowly Farmer.

## The Story

A mage sat at the trunks of a dying cherry blossom tree near the land which would later become Staguni. The mage sat and prayed as they began to remark on how beauty must always fall in dire times, before bowing their head in a sign of respect for the tree.

Just then, a "God" appeared in mesmirizing flashes of light which spoke to the mage about the great cherry blossom trees of the land. The God then gave the mage a staff of pure gold before leaving the mage alone with the staff to which the mage became thankful for it. The mage stood up and casted a spell using the newly aquired staff which resulted in the ground around them blooming and the constant cherry blossoms on the land of Staguni.
The Prophecy of Fly

**The Prophecy of Fly**is a prophecy given by the Infinite Warrior which describes the events from the past, present and the future. It is given to the heroes when they go to the Core

## The Prophecy

The west, the east and the south; united by the three. On the day of the black sun, the continents drift and an eon will begin. Forged from steel, forgetting the truth, fall into the depths, be trusting into your comrades, for they will soon destroy you and all you hold true. You will lose a beloved friend from the hands of your enemy, the trees will move from where they stand and darkness shall rise upon. The sun shall burn, the last shall fall, and the stallion will crash. The battle of good and evil; it is much more complex than you first thought. A book, with the knowledge of the people; a sword, with the power of an entire race; and a creature of pure darkness. For you shall be king, a general and more; father of the common people before it turns to dust at each other’s throats. The world will be weak and poor, for that is when the weapon of the years long bye, is important. For a man must not forget his secrets and where he comes from; a blood only found in kings. The people shall burn in dragon fire, but only then can they be reborn in the fire. Enemies must be allies, mutinies will occur and no-one can be left behind. For ice shall meet fire, rock shall meet the darkness, and soon will come the day where light will face the darkness. Disfigured from birth, travel the world and rekindle your people. Return home for you shall be Protector of the Common People whilst you fall. Soon will be the day where cities shall collide, and the dwarves will fall, leaving nothing but dust. Those who are alone, are not; for you must stand together. If not, the families of old will crack and crumble for serpents will rule the skies. Mysteries will be revealed, justice for mercy but sometimes that will not be the truth. Volcanoes will erupt on the day of Fallow, a scroll of fortune, peace is not an option. Unite them under one roof, for the person with hath the name of Hori, shall be prosperous as well as his bloodline. They will all perish in the glory of Ra, for the world who was divided, is not anymore. You are not alone, the spells of yonder and do not forget.

Fire Demon

The **Fire Demon**is a species living in Fly.During the Era of Creation, a band of men flocked to kill the Creator and gain It's wealth. Angered by this, the Creator transformed them into flames to spend the rest of eternity like that.

Many different fire demons are given names, and the most famous fire demon located in the Village of the Bards (whom believe the fire demon to be one God) is called Incendium and is the major name for almost all Fire Demons now, despite them having a human name.

The belief of Incendium is not book-related but instead requires meditation or a conversation towards a Fire Demon. Often wedding and funeral ceremonies must take place with the Fire Demon near or the figurehead of such a ceremony, like a priest, the Fire Demon is the one that inducts the ceremony which is spoken in the Tozish language.

The Snowy Forest

**The Snowy Forest**is a large forest that operates at the north of the Duchon continent and starts just north of the River Serpent. The Snowy Forest is also home to the city/fort of Norfeg and the entire Snowy Forest is controlled by House Welton including the several fishing villages on the west coast.

## History

When the first dwarves lived on the land, they headed north in the hopes to encounter new mountains however this wasn't true and built several small settlements due to dwarves resistance to the cold (one dwarf common saying is, "Our blood is magma!"). Dwarves later began to dislike the lands due to the wolves and elk that lived in the forest and began to migrate south, but the Snowy Forest was still apart of their territory.

When the first Elves and humans came over, they did not head north as it was too cold for them to survive. A deal was made where the dwarves gave them small portions of land including a few miles of the Snowy Forest in return for not harming the Bronze Mountains. The dwarves however still maintained a large amount of the Snowy Forest as it was still their land by blood.

This all changed in 4,527 BS when several Rabarian ships landed at the north tip and struck a deal with the dwarf residents, asking for the tip to the far north where they built Norfeg. Throughout the years that passed, the Norfeg army increased and they took more lands from the dwarves who gave up the lands as they had very little use for it. House Welton christened the land and built a large road through the forest, connecting it up to Nifi and Fallow.

Since House Welton took the Snowy Forest, no wars have ever been fought for the lands and are considered by many to be true Norfegian lands.

Mt Axus

***House Axus**"The Lava is Everlasting"*

**Mt Axus**is an island to the north of the Pacif continent, founded near the end of the Era of Creation, it's fertile soil became a breeding ground to the farming industry. It is home to the last volcano, as an earthquake near the end of the Era of Creation caused several volcanoes to sink into the ground.

## History

Discovered around about 200,000 BS, the early settlers found it had rich and fertile soil; an ideal place to grow plants. Six ship loads of farmers travelled to the region in the hopes of turning it into a large farming island, which they are successful in doing so.

The island is covered in a thick, obsidean which has dyed the soil a dark black. Most of the island is covered in the dark soil but according to research, it has been identified as a natural fertilizer.

However, it was not to last as in 123,964 BS, the volcano (Mt Axus) erupted and destroyed the entire eastern side of the mountain. The people of the islands were given a choice; to remain on the island and face the possible destruction or leave your farms behind to seek a safer location. The population dwindled and the island became the most profitable island because of it's booming crops.

To this day, the island feeds the entire Eastern world; growing carrots, potatoes, wheat, lettuce and more. Over three hundred tonnes of food leaves the island every week, heading to Rabar, Capital City, Flaeoria and some ships head to Questoz.
Icarius

**Icarius**is the name of the large castle located in the city of Rabar, seen at the centre of the city near Amber Hill. The castle is known for it's pure white brick, as well as the Great Hall which holds the throne of Rabar.

## History

Built by Henry Morsden in 6,938 BS, the castle was originally built as a cathedral for the Holders of the Earth but lacked the required towers and space for it. Instead, Henry built the Cathedral down the road to replace the role. Icarius was left unattended where many thieves and hooligans made the keep their home. The city guards stormed the hold and arrested, tortured and executed the criminals in the keep whilst the king saw the castle and decided to make it his home.

Henry Morsden, now in his late 80s, was asked to design the fortifications for the newly changed castle and so did so, though he didn't live long enough to see it's completion.

Faledge Longbow

"*My father is a true king, even though I don't like him. I have respect for him. It takes strong willpower to be a good ruler"*"
―Sapphire Longbow
**Faledge Longbow (56 BS - 50 AS)**was the Elven king from 32 BS to 50 AS, left to deal with the aftermath of the Siege of Flaeoria and the War of the Darkness. He is known to be very respectful and strict. He was given the throne for being the cousin of King Thrún II.

## Life

Born to Prince Basco Longbow and Arden Welton, Faledge was their second child his sister Aeson Longbow. As a child, Faledge never played or had no interest in almost anything. His father feared the worst for him, so sent him to Flaeoria with his mother, Arden Welton, so he could find joy. This worked to some degree as Faledge discovered he had a gift for politics, ordering his butlers around and even sorting out disputes involving the local traders.

Faledge was sent back to the Elven Capital of Naór to continue his education whilst Arden remained in the city to keep peaceful negotations between the elves and humans. It was here that the infamous Orc & Elf Incident occured. Just after that, Basco went to Flaeoria to keep the peace whilst, still, Faledge remained in the elven capital. It wasn't long after that the Siege of Flaeoria occured which killed both Prince Basco and Arden.

When news reached the city, riots began with people wanting to kill King Thrún II for allowing the siege to take place. Faledge was grieving when the peasants stormed the castle and arrest Thrún and Faledge, though he was later released for being innocent. Two days later and Thrún was presented in the square with the crimes of treason, where he was beheaded. Faledge took the throne as Codius III, who married in with Basco's other sister, Likandra, marrying Dominus XIII.

As king, Faledge married Tari Longbow, a highborn lady which Faledge had been in love with since he was a child. Together they had two children, Sapphire and Clie.
Kyind

**Kyind**is a large island located north-west of Duchon and is the native home for orcs. The climate for Kyind is often quite tropical, making a difference to Norfeg's snowy atmosphere.

## Atmosphere

The island of Kyind is quite tropical, with 1/3 of it being covered with rainforest and another third covered in rivers and waterfalls. Kyind is known to be a struggle to navigate, often because of it's lush rainforests and such, it is infact this very reason in which many humans and dwarves don't colonize it whilst elves often come there on a pilgrimage.

To the south-west of Kyind is a giant marsh known as "Bung's Death" and is said to be haunted by Black Shucks however the validity of this is not yet proven. This marsh is known to overflow during Spring and can result in a great river that runs into the ocean, during this time makes Bung's Death uninhabitable to orcs, who can often swim fairly well.
Sean Wexley I

King Sean Wexley I

"*The king Sean Wexley I was infamous for sleeping with a Naporian whore to create the illegitimate bastard Decland.*
*"*

―an excerpt from **Kings and Queens of Fly** **King Sean Wexley I (826 BS - 743 BS)**was the king of Rabar, starting in 779 BS before his death in 743 BS at the age of 83. He had several heirs but were all killed except for his bastard, Decland, and his last surviving heir, Sean II.

## Life

Born as the second son of Edward XI, Sean grew up fighting and learning how to be a good knight as his older brother, Robert was destined for the throne. When Edward XI was poisoned, Robert Wexley took the throne as Robert Wexley V and Sean was given the ability to be his royal entourage and a key player in alliances.

Sean was known to be very hot-headed, killing a chef because of a slight distaste in his mouth, although he never was cruel. Sean often gave money to the poor, as well as drinking and singing with the peasants. According to an old tale, he asked the Village of the Bards if he could become or hire a Bard.

When Robert V died in an assassination attempt by a drunkard, Sean took the throne as king of Rabar much to his annoyance as he couldn't continue doing the things he loved. He had five children with his wife, Æthelburg Wexley, whilst most of them were murderer by zealots and quaraths. On a trip to Naporia in winter 770 BS, he became drunk and slept with a prostitute who later fathered his bastard, Decland, although he was unaware until later.

When the child was shown to him, Sean took a dislike to him, believing he would usurp the throne somehow. He made the mother promise that the bastard would not seize the throne and in return he will be given a proper upbringing. Later, when Æthelburg fathered his sixth child, Sean Wexley II, he protected it with all he could, tasting food for him and teaching him everything he needed to know.

At the age of 83 during early743 BS, Sean became ill will flu and died a few days afterwards. His bones was buried in the crypts and his son took the throne, starting the Rabarian Civil War and the downfall of House Wexley.

## Trivia

* All of House Wexley have blonde hair, however Sean I has a dirty blonde hair
* His nickname of "the Honourable King" is a joke on his affair with a Naporian whore to father Decland

Capital City

***House of Capital City**"The Star of the World"*

**Capital City**is the largest city in Fly and is the centre point for the entire world. Created around about 3,000,000 BS, it was the main location for all races, mainly the humans. The city also used to hold The Alliance, a council of kings of all the main cities and settlements in the world.

## History

Founded near 3,000,000 BS, it began as a small market town before it quickly grew, and later became the central part of the world. Rumours soon spread of it's mass wealth, the Elves soon heard of this and came to the city in pursuit of it's wealth, but an alliance was formed.

After the dwarves joined the alliance, a few moved to the city in hopes of starting a new wealth, but it until after the Fall of the Dwarves in which several flocked to the city to seek refuge.

### Fall of the Alliance

After the Siege of Flaeoria, the elves blamed the other cities for not helping hold Flaeoria. Tensions arose and the king decided to call an elite meeting of the Alliance to discuss the recent events. The city was flooded with high lords and ladies from around the world in the hopes to coming to a final agreement, but the arguments continued for thirty one years.

Getting sick of it, the previous king abdicated and gave it to his son, King Dominus XIV, who also could not think of a way out of the failing Alliance. Under high amounts of stress, the king commanded the break up of the Alliance and the era of peace it brought with it.

The city was the focal point of mass riots between the people, all believing that what the king did was a bad decision. He was given a secret service to protect him at all costs and he rarely left the palace.

In 15 AS, due to high amounts of stress, it is theorized that the king either commited suicide or passed away. The throne was given to his young daughter; Fliona. She was immediately greeted with angry citizens believing that what her father did shows that she has no worth on the throne. She left the entire situation to her advisors and the Council, hoping that they could come to some agreement.

But it was not to last, as by 31 AS there was inner demons in the city which began a downwards spiral

## About the City

The city is split into 5 main sectors; the dwarven, the elven, the commonplace (also known as the market), the humans and the central part of the city (also known as the upper ring of the city)

### Upper Ring of the City
