## History

### Creation of Pretoya

Like the entire universe of Aevilon, Pretoya was formed and moulded by the gods with guidance from the Creators. In their creation they first formed the stars of Eai, twenty-two great stars, they brought the light to the area of void that they used as a canvas for the galaxy. After the stars came the planets, one planet added to each star as they were all filled. The star in which Pretoya orbits is the star of Oheur, a large hot yellow star, with four other relatively small planets in its orbit.

First the core of Pretoya was set alight by Oteus then covered in rock and dirt by Ops and Geb respectively. The land was dirt and rock so Poseidon and Neptune carved out the seas and rivers leaving lands masses, that were then covered in the seeds for basic plant life that over the next thousands and millions of years grew into the vast ecosystem of trees and planets on Pretoya. The planets began their growth and so to aid them small basic animals were given shape by Wetris, she made small organisms that were the size of rats, but it was here closest siblings that thread the seeds of evolution so that we would have the animals of today.

The waters placed by Posideon and were put into flow by Neptune, the earth was placed by Emera and carved and filled by the other earth gods. Pretoya formed into a bright luscious land as the various gods danced across the lands and seas

### First Civil War of Adeon

The ancient history of Pretoya has not yet been delved into, yet it is known that the races upon the land were divided into small tribes. Most of the tribes were Dwarf, Elves and Humans but many other races were present around the coast and out of the way of the main tribes. As time progressed so did the Dwarven tribes, they grouped together gaining power and land, becoming a large clan. Plans to build a mighty kingdom started as they congregated in the north building a small town that they called Mulgedor. The inhabited land grew as time passed and technology improved meaning the buildings could be built bigger and stronger, however the use of slaves was against the beliefs of the clan so all construction was the hard work from Dwarves. It wasn't long before the great Norse city of Mulgedor was born as all male, female and children Dwarves that are able work as it was an honour to be part of the construction of the homeland.

Over the many years of the Birth of Mulgedor, The Elvish tribes banded with each other as well as tribes of Humans, Halflings and Gnomes, they grouped together further east along the continent and formed towns and small settlements. These settlements were not large or well defended but instead became popular places to live and trade. These towns became known as Aildor, Methra and Pirest.

Growth and prosperity continued for close to a thousand years as more dwarven cities were built such as the Dierstad built into the mountain of Ymir, Helren, Kuspen and Thorela, more east towns were built as well as the originals being expanded.

## Factions

The Norse Empire-

The Free Cities-

The Doroa Warriors- The Doroa are nomadic horse-mounted warriors of mostly human origin, who sweep across the vast east plains in search of plunder. They have no city and instead they settle only to sleep and mate. Most of their society is centred around their horses, they children learn to shoot bows from horseback when they are only four years old. The Doroa will abandon a sick or injured member or even leader who can no longer ride a horse.

The Doroa traditionally fight with double bladed swords known as TBD and also employ bolas, daggers, and whips, or huge, recurved bows with impressive range and striking power that can be fired from horseback. They also shun armour, considering speed and freedom of movement to be more important in battle. Doroa warriors wear their hair in a long braid and only cut it when defeated, so the world may see their shame.  Very capable warriors therefore often have a very long braid. As light cavalry, their attacks are extremely fast and deadly, but they are vulnerable to archers and on the ground they are less effective against armoured infantry despite their speed.  However, they seldom attack on foot except for individual combat, so they usually retain the advantage.
