Midgard/History

This page contains drastically abridged and localized information, giving basic description of events that happened in world but nowhere near exhaustive, the main point of focus is Europe.

## Pre-Apocalypse(2000-2020)

Some Demon was trying to destroy the boundaries separating travel between dimensions.

## Apocalypse

Infrastructure was destroyed and humans experienced the terror of Demon's tyranny. They were treated like cattle, that is the unlucky ones which survived. Those who escaped were living their lives in fear, as they could die any-day, veiled in despair they traveled in hunting-gathering tribes and brothers fought brothers as there was no foreseeable hope for chance, as the power gap was massive.

The fate was thought to be set. Until 1st power users appeared approximately 4 months after Apocalypse. World at large was oblivious to their presence, though flame of hope had been lit, there was now way to fight supernatural threats.

3 months later Albert Graff saved group of travelers and founded Blue Moon band, nomadic group which hunted beasts and demons. Certain event made him accept repressed sentiment of empathy and want to help others, he also resolved to become King.

Around that time in other places, there was established factionalism within 'human enclave'(terrain occupied by humans) the borders were initially arbitrarily set by word of mouth or written signs. Though with time actual borders developed around fences/walls.

Graff had such luck that there weren't many strong power users in his place, therefore he quickly became the Commander of groups that were absorbed by Blue Moon and vowed to make respectable military out of them. He was really powerful and respected at least locally. That said he was front-runner of first major organized action against Demons, he invaded the occupied base(Previous attacks on 'bases' were mostly empty or they were filled with the grunts) It was grand success as it was done by surprise and demons vastly underestimated them. They started from the outer regions of country to avoid being encircled by Demons which would have been a suicide.

The War humanity declared against demons had been hard fought, it required patience and strong spirit in order to endure what seemed like impasse. It lasted 10 years but last months of war were in favor of humans though that could be easily flipped as there were many dangerous situations that could destroy all progress they made in those 9 years.

### Graff's Reign

While Graff was ruling already in the first few years of Apocalypse, he often rushed into battlefield in fact he spend most time in his military outfit, as it was drag changing yourself when you could go into fight any minute. He was more impulsive in rushing in early years before infrastructure was firmly established, then he only participated in major battles that weren't minor skirmishes on border. In his later years, commanding talent was more noticeable, as it was not only him who was important but also other soldiers. While one could say Graff only ruled 6 years as his Empire was then acknowledged, he was in past fighting with nations and tribes which opposed him. Though his opponents had to admit, facing Albert's Empire directly was suicide mission or at least it would result in Pyrrhic victory.

## After that(2037-2100)

Graff's Kingdom or rather the capital of Blue Moon was turned into Ice.

Such event created massive power vacuum as Graff was hegemon in Europe. War of Succession as it was called, occurred between nations who wanted to succeed him in what he created and retake non-frozen part of Kingdom which was massive. While many had different opinion on Albert Graff, they had no doubt about his influence and legacy he left.

The successor named himself Albert II and with this he founded Neo Imperium Romanum or also known as Tertia Roma(Third Rome) a spiritual successor of Roman Empire.

# 22nd Century

## Niflhel Invasion

Niflhel invasion laid waste to Kingdoms and Republics but the casualties were small thanks to Ministry support. That said it took massive renovation effort as architecture was demolished to such extent that it seemed like they were going to rebuild entire world. Ministry sent unit of workers and some Illyricus utility-automatons were also gifted, they renovated Hospitals and destroyed housing, even helping with heating issue as it was Winter time. Shortly after crisis was prevented they sent material package which contained metals, stone and extremely durable wood.
