## Overview

Raea’s focus is, and always has been, building a strong community; this is acheived through frequent nation events, an active discord server, and weekly voice calls. Aside from community building as a nation, we have many nation-to-town supports, such as providing valuable information, assistance, resources, and money to new or struggling towns. We have massive free-to-use farms and mob spawners that provide access to resources. There are many veteran players in Raea who are happy to bequeath their wisdom to players in both the towny and quest world. Quest world players should find solace in the knowledge that we have a fully stocked armoury and a vast array of experienced questers, while towny-focused individuals can receive support from experienced builders and town planners. Our Empress is QueenMona, from the halls of Valhalla, our Emperor is Bran, from the Kingdom of Kiso. Our advisors are SnowyMaxi, NyxWolf\_, xGlacee, and ultimategamer152.

## Lore

Long ago, the land where the capital currently resides used to belong to the Old Nordic Gods. It used to be a land of harmony, where people of all kinds were able to exist. But one day, an awful winter came, created by the Jötunn and the trickster Loki to lay waste to Midgard, realm of mankind. It stripped the Yggdrasil of all of its beautiful leaves and cherry blossoms, destroying all the realms connected to the Yggdrasil. The rivers and lakes froze, and with it, all the beings residing there began to weaken.

The Dark Elves made their way to the Bifröst, where the god Heimdall, the watchman of the gods, stood on guard. He was defeated here, and with his last breath, he gave one final blow on Gjallarhorn, which some say they can still hear ringing in the night. As Heimdall fell, a ripple in the Cosmos allowed the Dark Elves to invade the realm. They lay waste to all in their paths, and, eventually, all of the gods were destroyed.

This period of time was known as Ragnarok. For centuries, neither sun nor moon rose, leaving the land dark, cold, and barren. The few humankind who still remained survived on little more than scraps, if you could call it surviving, before eventually having to abandon their homes.

However, after 2 centuries, a brave and desperate group of humans was able to call upon old magic to summon the essence of the fallen gods. This goddess was resurrected in the form of Mona, and she claimed dominion over the domains of Earth, Spring, Peace, and Light. The humans who had called her forth had hoped that this goddess would be able to restore the lands after this cruel and endless winter, but she could not do it alone. The goddess and her followers reached out to a young hero king. This man, Branson Evans (bransonevans), was King of the Dragonriders. Bran, once a simple farmer and builder for a small, corrupt town had long ago escaped and built up a city of his own called Kiso, watched over by a young dragon called Clifford. Upon hearing their cry for aid, Bran and his people were struck with love for this goddess and immediately offered up their assistance. The dragons, led by their Queen Nebula, came at Bran’s call.

Together, this unique group decided to reclaim the lands of the old Nordic Gods, defeat the Dark Elves, and restore peace and harmony to the realm. They called upon the Light Elves, who travelled from Alfheim to offer their aid. They helped the Goddess create powerful runes to cleanse and heal the lands, and these runes still exist, spread throughout Raea.

When the Great War began, Mona and Bran led their people into battle against the Dark Elves. The Dark Elves called upon the assistance of Fire-Giants from Muspelheim and ancient, corrupted Ents. These ents were able to put the Dragon Queen into a stasis. Unable to fight any further, Nebula was left to watch her dear king Bran fight seemingly to the death against the Dark Elves.

When it seemed their rebellion was all but lost, the leaders of nearby towns and kingdoms emerged from their safe places of hiding and joined in to help. These were Ultimate (ultimategamer152), leader of the Dwarves of Moria; Lady Rosaelia of Greenvale Keep, and her soldiers; Glace (xGlacee) of Caelestis, leader of the men in the sky; Mage (MageLegend), Lord of Wensley; and finally Drago (drago967), ruler of the elves of Ellesmera. Together, they helped the Goddess and Bran to drive out the Dark Elves from the land. The Dark Elves fled before eventually settling into a land now known as Svartalfheim. The Fire-Giants returned to Muspelheim, and the Ents chose to stay in the land. Drained from the war, the ancient Ents fell into a deep sleep, where they still remain today.

The Goddess and her people were horrified by the destruction to their homeland, and began to try to resurrect the once beautiful lands. Bran and the other leaders decided to join Mona in rebuilding the land. In a span of two weeks, the people all came together to build Raea, from a place of mass destruction and war. Raea, was created to be a place of hope, and community. Mona was able to place runes around the kingdom, to help magic flourish. Nebula, unable to leave stasis, remains to this day to watch over Bran and his lands. The King & Queen of Raea, and her people of Valhalla, still care for the land to this day.
