## **History**

While not many people know about it and even less knows about true meaning of this, word "Seru" means "The Pact" in ancient draconic language. Mountains were Seru was build belonged to dragons since the oldest gods can remember and when Undead hordes ravaged the world, one of the bravest warriors mankind had to offer climbed the mountains to bargain with Dragon King Sorog. The warrior wanted to get help, but not from the dragons. Eternal ones, gods and demons, entities who humanity managed to made their enemies ages ago were the help the warrior needed and Sorog was the one who the warrior wanted to represent him for the remaining eternal ones on Greavesoyl. What exactly happened later both the warrior and Sorog took to their graves, but the pact was made and eternal ones were helping their mortal parasites once again. Over the following centuries white city Seru was build around dead volcano at the border of Sorog's kingdom and thrives as the capital and for the first time in 1500 years humans forced to run from Undead had something that died with Nekaru - hope. Hence the name of warrior's new country - The Kingdom of Hope.

The warrior meet the Guide after long and eventful life, with his son becoming the new king. And then his son's son. Warrior's grandson however wasn't fit to rule and abused the power of the crown, which ended up in 2 months long civil war between his followers and the rest of Seru. In the end he lost, his younger brother got the crown the first thing he did was establishing Royal Council to serve as advisors for him and all future kings, an also prevent them from abusing the crown.

Seru walls were breached only once by Sorog's own son Polemos. New Dragon King didn't followed his father's plan of peaceful coexistence and instead wanted only pure destruction and anarchy. No weapon Seru Guard had access too could stop him so current Seru king followed his ancestor's path and contacted his immortal allies. After long battle Polemos was struck down from the sky by superior flames of fire archgod Azeh and turned to stone by earth archdemon Souhhu. Parts of the city destroyed by Polemos were rebuild and both eternal ones who saved Seru were rewarded for their efforst with endless sustenance by all of Seru's happiness... and all of Seru's suffering.
