HISTORY UPDATE!!
World of Darjis History
In the beginning
In the beginning, there was the lone god Zerinas he had great powers over the universe: powers over water, fire, earth & nature, wind & air, darkness, body & mind, light, and the power over magic. With these powers he ruled the universe, but he slowly became bored with this lonely life of creating suns and planets and putting life into them. After a while he decided to create seven children to amuse himself, but they had no powers over the universe and were ghostly images of himself. Soon he decided to give them some of his powers. To his daughter Larissa he gave the power of light, to his son Nartu he gave the power of water, to his son Gale he gave the power of earth & nature, to his daughter Laventris he gave the power over darkness, to his daughter Florana he gave the power of Fire, to his son Zerves he gave the power over wind & air, to his daughter Galian he gave the power over body & mind, and to his son Dorat he gave power over magic. As he gave his children these powers a part of him was removed. By the time he noticed this it was to late he had no powers and finally faded into the shadows.
The Creation
As Zerinas disappered the seven gods and goddesses lost there spiritual form and became proud and beautiful beings. They each decided to create a world that would be a beauty never seen in the universe. They called it Darjis. It began as rock sitting in space that Gale created. He worked with Florana to fill it with a molten core. Then came Zerves. He created the wind to shape the weather so the climate would never be so plain. Then Gale created the trees, grasses, mountains, and the living plants of the earth. To watch over his mountains he created the dwarf. Larissa saw the lifeless plants and brought sun light to them so they could grow. She also created the elves to live in and watch over the forests and plains of Darjis then she created the humans to befriend the elves and work with them. Then Nartu came along and made the oceans and streams of Darjis so the life would not thirst. He also created the fish of the water and the sea creatures. Then came Florana who always hated the living so she created volcanos and fire the burn all life. From the lava she sculpted the orc to kill. Then came Laventris. She did nothing but wait. She waited for the people on Darjis to die and from the corpses she created undead mindless minions to prey on everything of life on Darjis. Then came shy Galian she roamed the world and created many beasts, all who were pure of mind and body. Then came Dorat he introduced magic to the inhabitants of Darjis. He also used magic to to help with creation of life. Much of Darjis was kind and helpful, but much more was cruel and horrific...The Reborn
For in the begining of time when the gods were given form,
Zerinas he who was all, gave a measure of his power to the everborne.
But he then noticed his powers wane, but it was all too late to halt his bane.
And so he faded, from his dwell, and as it would seem so far he fell,
Through time imeasurable, and space infinate.
But then he rose and his power he drew, From the Cosmos of his creation he was born once again. From the ashes of his death, like a pheonix of starfire he came. Etheriel he now was. Reborn and in glory. The stars he now wields, and the moons he now holds. From planet gem within his crown and cloak of spirit realm. He then came upon Darjis, his childrens creation and sent to them on that sphere a gift beyond imagination. That everstar, the Elenastralis. He sent to them in faith. And to who would accept the call, his promise he ever gave. I will be your god, and you my chosen. Even unto the grave.
-Illunfar the Prophet- Of Zerinas and Etheriel.The Elven Civil War
Aeons ago a great civil war erupted within the race of elven kind over a Great crystal that contained the powers of a fallen star called the Elenastralis. They fought and fought years passed by no one tribe able to hold it in posession for long. Until a tribe to the east called the Celestial Elves seeing the destruction it would cause to their bretheren and their race as a whole stole the crystal and hid it within their most secure citadel in the center of their kingdom where they began to study the depths of its power. But the other elves blinded by their lust for power and dominance each began to assault the borders. The celestial seers then unleashed a terrible storm upon the borders killing many enemies and yet they still clashed upon the kingdom like a tide of arrows and spears. Seeing no end the Archmages using the artifact lifted the kingdom into the sky and the sea filled the void left in its ascendence. Thus ending the great civil war.The Dark Elven Exile
After the The Elven Civil War many elves in the front lines suffered a great streak of malnutrion because of the shortage of fruits and vegebles on the front line. Some killed animals and ate them in a last ditch effort to stay alive. After tasting the meat they became in love with it. It was a tasty change to there previous diet, and soon after the long wars end they erged for more so in secret they ate it as a regular meal. The High Elves and Forest Elves soon found out and began to hunt down the sinners. Most of the Dark Elves were punished and exicuted but a very few fled and were driven to Northern Ashan were to this day they plot for revenge and slowly grow in number. Letting darkness plague there souls and obliterate there old ways leading them closer and closer to a great blood thirst and uerge for destruction and death.
eath Knight
He would either be rotting on the earth from a nearly mile high fall....or if he was given a burial...he would be encased in a statue as is customary for Celestial Elven burial...(they are placed in statues instead of coffins)
