Tenebris

A few hundred years ago there was a group of about 50 people, these people wanted to get away from the wars and conflicts that were common in most societies. They also just wanted to get away from the people in general, as they were very introverted. These people formed a group and left their kingdoms behind, traveling as far away as they could. They searched for many weeks looking for the perfect place to live, a place that reflected their personality and reason to leave their original homes. The place they found was a cave; because of the cave’s darkness when they first found it, they fittingly named it Tenebris, meaning darkness. These people turned the cave into a kingdom, learning to work with the cave in which they lived. The first thing they constructed was a castle. The people of Tenebris never actually used the Castle, it was more to be seen as a symbol. The people of Tenebris saw castles as a meaningful structure that meant ‘we are a kingdom, we exist,’ and so the structure was created accordingly. The people of Tenebris stayed secluded, avoiding basically all interaction with other people whether it be a lost traveler or another kingdom looking for allies. As time passed, they began creating traditions, one of these called Eleven. When children had reached the age of eleven, they would be sent out into the world to be shown the conflicts and wars that other kingdoms suffered. These children were sent out with the knowledge of how to survive and the supplies necessary to handle the harsh elements. The children were also given a scroll, which they were instructed to open only when they were certain they had seen everything they needed to know why Tenebris was organized the way it was.

Some children never opened this scroll, and never returned home. Parents were always worried over this which was why many didn't bother having children. This caused Tenebris’s population to keep at a constant rate of just over two hundred. Regardless of this fact, Tenebris was never filled with anyone who would ever rebel. If a child truly loved and knew the nature of Tenebris, they would return. If not, they would stay in a different kingdom and suffer through the "pain" Tenebris avoided. One day, only about 10 years ago, Tenebris was attacked. With such a small population of only just over two hundred people, they were no match for the army they were attacked by. It didn't matter whether they specialized in fighting or surviving, there was no avoiding their fate. Everyone in Tenebris that day was killed. That was not the end of Tenebris, however. There were still the children who never opened their scrolls and never came home. It was unlikely that the older children would ever even consider returning, but there were still the ones who were sent only a year or two before. Many tried coming home, but the area was filled with toxic gasses from the war. They would be aired out in the future, but for the time being, Tenebris was in ruins. The only hope left was that someone would find the ruins when the toxins disappear and care enough to rebuild.

10 years into the future, 2 people came back to Tenebris and chose to rebuild the kingdom they had grown up in. These 2 were Atlas (Atlasthecrow) and Mysty (1MysteriousGamer) both had been raised in Tenebris and felt an obligation to rebuild the kingdom. Although after they had spent so many years away from the kingdom they both agreed that the kingdom needed to be run differently. So although they continued to live in the original cave of Tenebris they weren't secluded. Visitors were welcome and the 2 worked to make alliances, hoping to not have to get involved in any wars. (Although on this server I feel like thats not a good thing to hope for)
