## **Information**

### **Rivals**

#### **The Drows**

Since the very formation of the Alliance, the subterranean dark-elves have had a problem with the surface dwellers. This has caused many conflicts throughout time that always left a large pile of bodies behind. No one truly remembers the reason for the hatred, but both sides have been blinded by it.

#### **The Highwaymen**

A band of thieves, murderers and worse, these criminals have stolen many goods and in turn much profit from the merchants within the borders of The United Lands of Sharus. They are considered outlawed from the government and will not get the chance to stand trial, should they be apprehended. They are always executed.

### **Allies**

#### **The Order of the Hunters**

During The Great Merge, an order of the best fighters in Aurelia was created to combat the new monstrous threat. Since their creation, they have held these vile creatures of horror at bay, saving countless lives over the eras.

#### **The Opasque Lumber Company**

The Ontano Alliance buys timber at an amazing prize from this company, and has given them many grants to help them further grow their world-spanning wood-felling business.

## **History**

### **Fight for the Isle**

In 1385 - 1485 of the second era, The 100 Year War occurred between The Ontano Alliance and **The Kashkan Empire.** They fought for an island that lies between their borders, a perfect enclave for strategic military encampments. The fight ended in a stalemate, and it is now said that the island is cursed.

### **Heroes of Sharus**

In 1512 of the second era, a fierce red dragon named Righiss threatened The United Lands of Sharus with its fiery rampage. The Alliance decided to assemble a team of people who had shown incredible feats of strength. They were united under the banner of Mal-Korr, and became known as The Remarkable Six. Eventually, they defeated the dragon during The Battle of the Flame.

### **The Triton Monarchy - Narmont**

Ruled by Queen Aqualina in Narmont, the underwater triton folk guard the seas. They entered a pact in order to secure their presence, for they do not posses that strong of a military. This aquatic people holds the largest amount of Adamantine, the most powerful metal in Aurelia. The tritons are also well-versed in combat, due to The Sorting of the Youth.

### **The Oreheart Dwarves - The Dwarven Mountains**

The stoic king of the dwarves, Thossel Oreheart, is a vital member of the alliance. His export of metal is heavily depended on by every member of the alliance, as the dwarves sit on the rich mountain chains that lie between Folstershire and Ceclador. Their holy metal, dostryx, is on special occasions sold or otherwise given to the Alliance.

### **The Elven Crown - Waelnaes**

King Folwin leads the elves of the southern country of Waelnaes. He has supplied the alliance with many troops, trained by only the best of elves. Originally taking up residence in their homeland Ofra'Era, the elves were driven out by The Kashkan Empire. The elves have since held a deep hatred for those who took their lands. They joined the alliance in hopes of revenge.

### **The Northern Crown - Rottgandr**

Bjorn Ulfriksson of Hafnaross is the king of the nords. He rules over the frozen lands of Rottgandr. He has many warriors available, yet his people starve. Due to the harsh climate, almost no agriculture is possible leaving the people relying on mainly meat. The nords agreed to join the alliance in order to secure food and the powerful dwarvish and triton metals.
