Last – A new world takes its shape | Part 0

in #writing8 years ago (edited)

Many centuries ago, the realm of Last was divided into three grand Nations. One of them was signified by the love for freedom, another one was signified by the love beauty, and the third was signified by the love for law and order. However, there were also rumors of a fourth Nation, which was signified by the love for mystery... Believed to have been located on an island, not far from the others, little was known about it.

Allegedly, one day, the island of the fourth Nation started to decay. Bit by bit it fell apart, and soon the whole island had been torn into the depths of the lake... In agony, the people of that nation were forced to leave their home, and migrate to other parts of the world. But they had troubles to adapt, and were quickly exploited by the evil forces luring in these lands... The other nations shun them away – and so they withdrew themselves to the corners of the world, where they would not be found... Meanwhile, the world turned dark, and just as if a supporting pillar of peace and glory had been removed, a new era of conflict and misery broke out within the realm.

Along with time, the world settled into a new state of order – and while the old joy had since long been depleted, a new one was formed. The ancient tribes became all the more forgotten, and people were drawn together once more. New cities were built, and new schools of sorcery and protection were established. Slowly, hope was restored, and although the cosmic alignment was so heavily shaken by the seemingly un-ending wars, raging throughout these lands, people started moving towards a new horizon.

Today, only remnants of this ancient world remains, still traces of the grand Nations can be found. – Except that myth about an island disintegrating into a lake...

According to the highly revered scriptures coming from the 'Ministry of Law' – a coalition formed by a priesthood in the early days of the dark era – the exact reasons why the world turned dark remains unclear... However, over time, this secret order has managed to map the occurrences of what they refer to as 'shifts' – and with close approximation, they have for many years been able to foresee future events. What exactly these shifts are, remains unknown, but sufficient evidence suggest that they are the underlying cause for past centuries darkened state...
