World History

This world is similar to your own, yet so much different. Looking at it from orbit, one could not really tell the difference. The continents are set in their same places, as are the oceans. If one looks closer, however, they will find a few distinct differences.

This section will look at the differences present in knowledge about the age of the world, as well as the relevant events that have shaped it. It is widely believed and accepted, that this world is only about 6,000 years old. About 4,000 years ago, a great calamity befell the world, wiping out almost all life. A small population managed to survive, and over time, they repopulated the world. However, this also began the domination of the earth by mankind, who could reproduce faster than the other species, and thus take advantage of the free territory.

Besides this, history ran roughly parallel to that of your world. However, there was always a twist to everything.

Humans were often not fighting themselves. In fact, it was quite often that the wars were not just humans wars, but battles between various species. The relevant historical events for each species can be found in their sections of the database.The most recent large event, is known as the Great War. This war lasted for four years.

The main sides in the war are often simply known as Chaos, and Order. Chaos fought for the abolishment of the high government, looking to overthrow kings and councils together. It wanted to free the people, to give them the chance to live or die by there own hard work. Everyone fending for themselves. Order, on the other hand, fought to uphold the government, to keep the populace under control, in order to protect them, for equality and rights for all.

The forces of Chaos were led by Rico Manwell, a Cambion of great power. The forces of Order were led by Sir Ashton White, a Nephilim Grand Executioner.

The fighting lasted for four years, and was waged across much of Europe, and parts of Asia. On the side of Chaos, were the Cambions, Werewolves, Dhampir, and Valkyrie. The forces or Order were comprised of the Nephilim, Angels, and Dragonkin. Most other species were either neutral, or, especially in the case of humans, fought on both sides of the war. The forces of Chaos were backed by the Congo Alliance, who wanted to see the end of the higher powers, especially the Kingdom of Britannia. Order, on the other hand, was backed by the Kingdom of Britannia.

The war was bloody, with stalemates being common as the war was bogged down by mud and trenches. Mobility was difficult, as machineguns can mow down a Valkyrie as easily as they can a human. Eventually, however, the Huntsmen were forced to get involved, and ended up backing the side of Order. With their aid, and new technological advances, the forces of Chaos were pushed back. The final showdown happened in Egypt, where Rico and Sir Ashton battled to the end. It is said that black and gold flames illuminated the night, and in the morning, the ground was pitted with craters and ash. In the end, Rico fell, and Sir Ashton was severely wounded, but the war was won.

Afterwards, it was decided that this could not go on. The various species had battled eachother for a time immemorial. A solution needed to be found for them all to live in relative peace. First, a Council was formed, with representatives from most of the sentient species. This council decided that it needed to be officially investigated just how volatile the various species were, when forced to live in close proximity. Thus, Sky Haven was created. This island would be an experiment, and a testing site, to see if coexistence could actually be achieved. The island was opened to civilians in 2015.
