There is in this new world, great heroes and amazing builders, but none as valiant as the old times...

Before there was this new world, there was nothing.. and before there was nothing, there was a world in which three kingdoms reside. Each kingdom had its own warriors, armies, and scientists. However, these 3 kingdoms have been at war for over 2000 long years.

There was Chestalcoatl, a kingdom in which only the fiercest of dragonslayers lay, these dragonslayers are known for their up close combat with their long swords. They are commanded by the cheap and deceitful Calp, his weapon of choice is a longsword crafted by his wife. It oddly smells of cabbage, however no one is sure of whether it is made of cabbage or just the fact that his hands smell of it...

Swampwater, a kingdom full of gallant warriors ready to defend their home and considered the weakest of the three kingdoms because they do not fight face to face, rather they stay back and fire their bows. They are commanded by the mighty and valiant king archer Bloodwrath, he named his long sought after bow “Little Girl” for his daughter in which he fights to protect along with his wife.

Finally, Northham, a desert community full of illiterate yet noble and savage barbarians in which they craft and use axes made from only the finest of metals. This desert community is commanded by the celebrated and ruthless barbarian Nut, she has an Axe commonly know as “The Nutcracker”. This axe is so powerful that it is said if one man were to be hit by it, he would fly one thousand miles before dying due to the shock of the blow.

As the war dragged on, each of these leaders got tired of fighting, except for Calp. He decided that he would pretend to surrender and have his army merge with the Northham army, so he did it. With the two forces combined Nut and Calp trumped over the great Bloodwrath’s defenses. As a last hope Bloodwrath had sent his flying black ball of fury to attack the capital of Northham. The assault failed, Nut had prepared a bombardment of cannonfire, and the giant ball fell into the desert… forever lost in a sea of sand.

Nut and Calp soon became the most powerful beings on the face of the planet, Calp now wielded the bow bloodwrath once held. Nut’s father, Matto San, later died 6 days after the invasion of Swampwater, his death was caused by a mysterious arrow shot by a mysterious cloaked assassin that went straight into achilles tendon. Calp saw this as a fine opportunity to betray Nut and overturn the entire army and accuse her of treason! Taking the chance Calp betrayed Nut. Nut tried gallantly to fight, but Calp wielded two legendary weapons while she wielded one, she lost the fight that lasted 12 hours and shook the entire planet. Calp locked her in a dungeon forever sealed by only strongest of witchery seals.

Meanwhile, Calp was winning countless victories against a native tribe called “The Eris worshippers”, however Calp was not aware that his victories, were slowly nudging a sleeping giant in the sky. High into the clouds lay a sleeping goddess, more powerful than one million men, She carried a weapon by the name of “HyperSilence” it was a sharp katana crafted by the goddesses own blacksmith, JackFireBane. Many people worshipped this availing goddess and tried to stop Calp, this included two well know wisemen named Zen and Tox. The two wisemen (with protruding effort) tried to start multiple rebellions to stop the ruthless tyrant, but to no extent did it work. Calp later found the two men in a quaint cabin, in which he pulled out his Sword O’ Cabbage, and murdered the two men’s family right in front of their eyes, Tox was spared due to him just being an accessory, but Zen was unfortunate and was hung right outside of his own house. Later that day, Tox was locked in a same type of cell as Nut was, and his cell was also sealed by a witchery spell.

After Calp had been finished with all of the rebellions, he went on to support his troops in the battlefield, eventually The Eris Worshippers gave up and surrendered, however one of the older shaman prayed to the goddess one last time before he was beheaded, and she awoke with such violence, that even the largest star in the sky shook from the extreme force of power...

Immediately she crashed down to the earth, like a meteor to of which extent mortal eyes have never seen. She pulled out her katana in one quick motion, and sliced through most of Calp’s army with one quick flick of the wrist.

“WHO DARE MURDER MY TRIBESMAN!” she thundered.

Calp stepped out from behind one of his troops embattlements. With a smirk he said in a brassy voice “Oh so the legends are true…... Well then, here I go.” With all of his force Calp ran faster than any mortal has ever ran, a full on death charge towards the goddess with Nut’s axe. Calp lunged with the axe however Eris was to quick for him, she countered his movement with a simple flick of her katana sending him flying over her head.

“Amusing!” she exclaimed, “This should be fun!”

Calp quickly recovered. With a roar he charged towards the goddess, this time with his longsword. He quickly swiped ,but Eris dodged. She was quite flexible and rather outgoing fitness wise. She began to laugh at Calp’s attempts. Calp became extremely rageful and started swinging both the axe and the longsword, while cursing under his breath. To no extent has he ever faced such a valid and strong opponent as this one.

While Calp was in this fuss, an archer by the name Azureila was hidden under a bush, she was a well known Eris Worshipper and wanted to prove to her goddess that she could be one of her noble angels. So Azureila pulled back her bow right as Eris accordingly spun kicked Calp straight into the sky. Azureila aimed very delicately, and when the time was right, let go of the string. Within a matter of 5 seconds the arrow hit Calp with such force, it went straight through his chest, instantly killing him.

Eris detected where the shot had come from and raced over to it, her weapon however transformed into a tiny angel in which picked up the 3 god weapons and flew away with them with such speed, he was out of sight within 3 seconds. Eris saw the girl, picked her up, and flew into the sky with her, all that was seen was a trail of beautiful green lights behind of Eris. What was said between the two? Sadly no one knows, however it is clear that Azureila was rewarded for what she had done, and with that the 2000 year war was over.

Eris saw that the world was destroyed thanks to the fiend Calp. So she saved what few people still worshipped her, and with a sonic boom which sounded like thunder, destroyed the entire world. The Eris Worshippers were depressed as that was their homeland. However Eris had a plan and told them with a smile on her face, not to worry. With a swift flick of the goddesses wrist, generated a new world, clean and disease free, called Summergate.

This is the story of how the new world came to be, and where did the Eris Worshippers go you ask? Why they are apart of you, every single cell and gene of you comes from them. They forged a new land in which everyone can be free and lived in peace… however the great priest of this new world, his name Homura, has predicted a great war in the future, a war in which could even end the supreme rule of the goddess Eris.

Now, you may ask after reading all that I wrote. Where did the legendary weapons go? According to legend Bloodwrath’s bow was hidden in the den of the Enderlord. Nut’s Axe is hidden in a desert labyrinth that always shifts and turns to your disadvantage in which only the bravest of heroes enter, and finally, Calp’s longsword of Cabbage. It is said to have been sent to the depths of hell along with Calp himself. You can find this item in where the scriptures call “The Wither Chamber.”

This is the history of the Dragonhollow, and I hoped you enjoyed.
