Jlarner

The Jlarner are comparable to Dwarves, with the addition of gray skin and two very short horns on both sides of their foreheads.

They originally hail from Raandeler, but after they lost their home during the First Medieval Era the remaining Jlarner just spread out to eastern, western and central Raandeler, along with migrating to further subcontinents like Tylacta. Their deity creator is The Smith Gods.

## History:

During the Philosophy Era , the Younger Gods Katsu, Koots and Nuphon, The Smith Gods, made the Jlarner. The Jlarner lived in the Flyst Udordahn, *Flyst* *Valley*, and they took up residence in the Eona Môntis, *Eona* *Mountain*.

From there the Jlarner dug their first and capital city, Vorto Dergama, into the mountain side. They built their civilization around smithing and metalworking, modeled after their creator deities.

After a while, they were starting to be recognized by the other gods and were being showered in gifts. Marais put a new kind of ore called Vesten, which is a super strong gold colored ore, into the mountain. Heamot built them a forge called, An Eraethal Fhorga, *The Divine Forge*. Aeroovon filled the mountain with precious gems and ores. Etc.

During the Second Medieval Era, the Jlarner created their first mechanical being, made of Vesten, called the Nefnak. The Gods didn’t like this as they couldn’t control it, only the Jlarner could. It was the first form of AI. During the Third Medieval Era , the Jlarner had created a large amount of Nefnaks ranging from humanoids, some with wings, to spiders to bears, etc. They had created an army of them. The Gods were starting to disapprove of this, except The Smith Gods, they boasted.

The Jlarner were extremely ahead of their time and surpassed the Yonkapas. But by the end of the Third Medieval Era the Gods grew tired of the Jlarner. At this point as well, the Jlarner only worshipped The Smith Gods and Tháttuost.

A Jlarner by the name of Athun Dalenii, the last leader of the Jlarner, was trained directly by the Three Smith Gods in the arts of Smithing and Fighting, and then crafted three ultimate weapons named, Jroona Embar, *Jroona Hammer*, given to Gaavine Charlo. Dalenii Lan Swart áchea Hiedil, *DaleniiLong Sword and Shield*, Athun made for himself. Ldeh Odar, given to Arele Gadel. An Odar is a double sided scythe with a bow string in the middle. Gaavine Charlo and Arele gadel were generals.

From there the three told the Gods to back off or there would be war. The Gods, except the Three Smith Gods and Tháttuost, were infuriated by this. The Gods claimed war back. The Jlarner moved their entire army of 450,000 into Flyst Velle, accompanied by The Three Smith Gods. Most of the Older Gods, expect Tuttlus, Kumusa, Marais and Skiymens, came to Pahnagaeah for the war. The Younger Gods stayed out of this. The war became known as Who's The Gods War, as the Jlarner challenged the Gods sovereignty. The war started in late 403 in the Third Medieval Era.

The battle took place in late spring and lasted for three hours until the Older Gods ultimately emerged victoriously. The Jlarner were routed to several different places. Some took residence in Blanroth, some in Heoin Rost, most in Raandeler. But some escaped in what became known as the Great Jlarner Mystery. Where they went, nobody knows. They opened a portal, took the Nibedesuwá and were never seen again. The three weapons were taken by the Gods and are in the Archaltar.

By the Fifth Medieval Era , the Jlarner's Empire was little more than a tale told at social gatherings and in armies for entertainment.

## Architecture:

The architecture of the Jlarner is almost solely a combination of buildings in rock sides of the mountains around their home city. Their buildings feature stone, cobblestone and rarely wood.

## The Nibedesuwá:

The Nibedesuwá was a giant robot built by the Jlarner. It is not known what happened to the robot, it disappeared through the portal some of the Jlarner had also escaped to.

## The Great Jlarner Mystery:

After the Jlarner had been defeated, a group of Jlarner scientists reportedly were seen by Horck, as he ran through the halls of the kingdom of Vorto Dergama in the aftermath of the Who's The Gods War, leaving through a large and tall portal. Horck was unable to reach the portal in time before it closed.

Where the portal led it is still a mystery today. Some say they created a pocket dimension, others say they fled to a dimension they discovered and only they knew about.
