Nyvaparids (Nyva, meaning Warrior, Knight, who fights with honour. As for Parid, it means Elementists who utilizes the Elemental Forces) are the main fighting force for the Elemental Orders of the Earth, having been created over a period of 290,000 years ago and younger only to the Elemental Forces created by the legendary Master Wo in order to defend the Elementals from the Upherteos from the distant lands of Anapalariu. They successfully did so, and so it would end up becoming an important part of the Elementals. It grew to span across several temples in Europe, Asia, and Africa. As a result, they had also ended up being heavily divided as there were many different orders and societies. Evil grew inside their hearts, giving birth to Blood benders (who were not to be confused with Crimsons whom of which also utilize their own blood for their power,) and Dark Nyvaparids who went on to influence a few mages which lead to the creation of the Dark Mages that would later grow prominent in the mid 20th century as well as Galacta Warriors who extremely overpower Nyvaparids with their evil intentions, which was eventually sealed away in giant Erenio crystals.

### The current 5 main orders of the Nyvaparids

Sokku (Eastern) Order of Nyvaparids: Located in Asia, it spanned across Southern Gammeria all the way to the Indus River Valley. As a result, the Sokku Order is the largest Nyvaparid Order on Earth. It is known to be an honourable, capable, and strong order. Despite this, the Sokku Order was in particular unstable and prone to bearing rebellious temples and elemental orders which can sometimes rebel against either the Order, or the local governments, and especially in Gammeria. It can lead to heavy violence, however, most of the time such rebellions are short and rendered unable to reach their ultimate goal. It was also first founded 257,500 years ago by Master Zho in the shores of modern day Southern Gammeria, it is by far the Nyvaparid Order which beared the most Air Monks of all which possess large and vast temples across the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau, mostly acting in independence to the Sokku Order. The Air Monks also did not care of it's surroundings unless there were to be an urgent scenario where Evil struck.

Crimson Order of Nyvaparids: Located in the Middle East and Africa, mostly spanning across the territories of the Luikancian Empire, the Crimson Order of Nyvaparids (not to be confused with the Crimson Order) is the second largest Nyvaparid Order on Earth and the strongest as well as youngest compared to all of them being created by the Crimson King Keketholovos around 128,600 years ago. The Order is mostly isolationist, acting whenever necessary. It is also divided into 2; the Kerovos and Kekethos, the former acting mostly in defense of the Luikancian Empire from invaders and other Noob nations like Francia and the Heykarian Khaganate. The latter however, being the isolationists who only acted when necessary or when either the Order or mankind as a whole is in danger. The Order is mostly composed of Noobs, who have been traditionally focused on mastering the Crimson Energy. This order is the only Nyvaparid Order to focus on a single elemental force, being the Crimson Energy.

## History

### Foundation and Rise (290,000-200,000)

The Nyvaparid Order, to be more specific, the Zanhogu Order (290,000-130,000), was founded by Master Wo in around 290,000 years ago, during the Zhegotu Wars (300,000-285,000), in order to defend the elementals, which at the time were only present in Declaretuhtia, against the evil forces of the Upherteos, who were monstrous creatures of evil that originated in Siberia, commanded by Vorthus, whose objective was to only, kill, destroy and raid, killing any life form, from bacteria to animals (including men) that came into contact with them.

At the time of the creation of the Zanhogu Order, the elementals were now being secluded to the coastline of Declaretuhtia, however, after the creation of the Zanhgou Order, they were able to start pushing back the Upherteos out of Declaretuhtia, successfully doing so by 289,000, with this all they had to do was to cross the Caucasus and destroy the Upherteos Dark Palace, which was located in modern-day Novosibirsk, which they'd successfully do by 285,000, successfully destroying the Palace, and as a consequence destroying the source of energy and life for the Upherteos, who would be defeated and eliminated from earth, Vorthus would still be alive until Master Uthōr killed him in around 218,000, after the destruction of the Upherteos the Zanhogu Order expanded further out of Declaretuhtia, crossing the Aegean Sea and expanding into Europe, during 280,000-210,000, Nyvaparids of the Zanhogu Order would cross Persia and reach into India and consequentially reaching the lands of Gammeria, many would settle there and would slowly found the Sokku Order.

After the Zhegotu Wars, a period of peace and prosperity would issue, with the Elementals and Nyvaparids growing rapidly and occupying most of Europe, Asia and Africa by this point. In 250,500 the god Ayat'rshgurn is born, created from goodness and passion, with the objective of defending those who follow his footsteps and those who have goodness, passion and love in their hearts, Ayat'rshgurn would become the major deity followed and prayed upon by Nyvaparids and Elementals, Ayat'rshgurn would also power the Crimson Energy, which at the time was a minor force present in nature, but that would be energized by Ayat and would become a major force that exist amongst men and nature. However this time of peace would not last long, as by 230,000 tensions were rising amongst Nyvaparids, over their intentions and their purpose, during this period 2 factions would emerge, the Heptori and Namavos.

The Heptori, implied that evil existed amongst men, and that if left unchecked and impeded, could grow into causing conflict and darkness to rise amongst men, and cause wars, violence and destruction, they implied the improving of the militaristic capabilities of the Nyvaparids, and that they had to improve to survive and defend mankind, while the Namavos implied that the Nyvaparids had done everything they needed to do, they were fine as they were, and that there was no need of improvement, and that men did not have evil in their hearts, and that only creatures such as the Upherteos and Spores (yes, spores at the time were seem as creatures of evil) were uncivilized and that had evil by default in their hearts.

Tensions would continue rising, as both sides could not reach an agreement, a consensus, any attempts at doing so were unsuccessful, war was inevitable.

### Heptori Wars (200,000-190,000)

The Heptori Wars would be triggered by Master Heno's rebellion in the temple of Jousrikertha in the 17th month of the year 200,000, Master Heno sided with the Heptori, and the rebellion would be seem by the Namavos as a declaration of war, both sides however would not attack each other before the 20th month, as communication was slow at the time, and only by the 20th month both sides received the news, the Heptori would be the first to strike, liberating the temple of Jousrikerthia from it's siege by the 13th month of 199,999, escalating the war further, the temple being located beside the Persian Gulf gave the Heptori great naval advantage, now being able to attack further into the coastal temples of the Namavos, the Namavos were taken by surprise, and were unable to prepare their defenses in time, this allowed the Heptori, specially in Persia and the Balkans to take over several Namavoian temples, one of them being the Temple of Ayat'rshgurn.

The Heptori would then reach in 199,982, the temple of Verina in southern Greece, the take over of the temple would allow the Heptori to connect their Greek temples with the Bulgarian ones, splitting the Namavos' European possessions in two, allowing the Heptori to focus on eliminating the young temples of the Veputian and Enivroan regions, such as the temple of Ueretina which would be taken over in 199,897, blocking the western Mediterranean from Namavoian access, the war would rage on for another 2 millennia, before the truce of 197,182, that would last until 196,872, allowing both sides to amass their forces to attack, however, the Namavos did not have the required skill to do so, they did not focus in their military capabilities before and during the war, attempting to reach diplomatic agreements and gathering militas to fight, a strategy that did not go too well, they also attempted to find the Tower of Ice in Siberia, with no success.

The Namavos were getting desperate, while the Heptori amassed their forces and trained their soldiers, the Heptori made great usage of the long bladed baton, a long stick made out of light Bercothian wood, that had blades all over it except for the middle portion, where a Nyvaparid would hold on, it also had speak-like blades on the bottom and top of it, all of it was made out of copper. It allowed faster movement while having great cutting and bashing force, the Namavos would attempt to utilize this, but without proper training would fail to do so, though they would create the Tenchoggu combat form, with implied the overpowering of the attacker by the defender, by making rapid consecutive defensive movements, while predicting where the next attack would be at utilising elemental forces, specially Air and Crimson force and energy (respectively).

In the 12th month of 196,872 the Heptori would attack the temple of Cleprina in the Colorantian region, signalling the end of the truce, and the start of the Tegothian War, the second portion of the Heptori Wars, the Tegothian War would be known for the heavy usage of naval combat, specially in the Aegean, and Black seas, the Heptori would gain the upper hand in most naval encounters, while the Namavos mostly stayed confined within the coastline regions of Anatolia
