## The origins of the Ralue

In the ancient past, 304,896 years ago, the Ralue lived in the country now known as Aleban in twelve separate tribes, **Fuxa**, **Dorar, Shaze, Volsus, Korpys, Uoon, Bluza, Oxor, Haxwor, Luunarr, Torcus** and **Zorka.** Each tribe was ruled by a chief and three Elders. Each tribe had a big, vast population each, and lived in a city state-like system. It is said in ancient lore, the tribes would get together every 50 years and to compete in some kind of Olympic games.

Although tribes did not get along with each other, none of them really caused any wars with each other. One day, the tribes were attacked by some unknown army and most of the Ralue race was killed. The survivors fled to the Tundra of Rakash and their attakers was soon known as, **The Army of Ultimate Evil** or the **Dark Army.**

The race was nearly pushed to the brink of extinction. That year was called **"Waeza"**, the year of great sorrow. But, a 12 year old Ralue risen up and joined the tribes into one. That young Ralue was **Volum Trykus Volsus of the Volsus tribe**. He was the young son of the Volsus chief, whom was killed by the Dark army**.** For about 25 years, the Ralue remnants slowly rebuild their strength. They trained hard together in the harsh Tundra environment, which increased their endurance and resilience. They even sent scouts to study the Dark army and soon became masters at battle tactics.

After careful planning and patience, the Ralues launched a counter offensive on the Dark army. Although they were outnumbered seven to one, they destroyed most of their enemy forced their enemy to retreat back to wherever they came from. **Volum Trykus Volsus the first** became the first king of the country that was called Rakash in their language. Thus the Ralues were united as one kingdom. Though some of them choose to remain in tribes. The new king respected their decision. The tribes moved to the Tundra, but they keep in touch with the kingdom,get along now.
