The Endarian Empire

## The Lore

   Long ago, thousands upon thousands of years ago this empire was born. The builders discovered the End Dimension and quickly sought to conquer it as they had the Overworld before. They entered the End, taking all valuable resources and reshaping it to their desires. They created the overlanders, and even brought some with them into the End to build great cities and massive forests to colonize the end as their territory.

What the builders didn’t know however, was the corrupting and dangerous energy of the End. End Corruption as its now called began to take hold in the various creatures they brought over from the Overworlds. Overlanders began to mutate the more they ate the native Chorus fruit, some growing tall and lanky, losing their intelligence and becoming the Endermen that are well known. For those that didn’t lose their intelligence they became the Endarian People. The Endarians are Overlanders corrupted by the End’s energys. They more closely resemble endermen now, though they kept their Overland traits, suchs as intelligence, hair, and their standard Stature.

Over the Centuries tribes and empires formed in the end over and over, rising and falling as quickly as they appeared as wars were fought for scarce resources in the end. That was until the Great One appeared. The Great One, also known as the End King is believed to be the last surviving Builder, whom over the course of the thousands of years of End Exposure has lost his godlike abilities and was corrupted just as the Endarians. He conquered the Endarian people, unifying them into a mighty empire before ripping open portals through dimensions to the overworld. He now seeks to conquer the Overworld and take back what he believes is Rightfully his.
