[QUOTE="LordVyreth, post: 1568446, member: 9626"] [b]Excerpt number 7[/b] Just a few left to go. With luck, there will be a real update tomorrow. The New Kingdom (Excerpt from the Book of Tregfillia.) With evil held at bay at least partially, the people were gathered. Much of the world was trapped in permanent night, freezing the plants, causing the starvation of animals, and rendering the natural order apart. Oh, and the people of those lands died, too. The goddesses chose to preserve the natural order of the last continent, with the ungrateful humans as its caretakers. They established a new kingdom, under the rule of the wise Gurdal Stael and his love, the half-drow Marian Styx. With much of the surface world spoiled by the greedy orcs and merciless undead, it was up to the drow, once the hated enemies of the surface races, to help establish this new civilization, for only they knew of the underground flora and fauna that the abstract races needed to live. They created new cities near the surface, for they knew that if any race was to survive the evil of the two fiends, they all had to work together. The other races saw their wisdom, and over the centuries, even the most hated enemies of the drow grew to respect them. The races were wiser in their new kingdoms, for not only did they learn at last to work together in peace, but they learned of the importance of obeying the forces of nature. The goddesses gave them knowledge which they used to create the first Collectors, who used their power to gather the sun’s rays, and use it to light the city when the sun was denied entry, and the wizards of the land found magic that would let the sun shine underground. Between them, they were able to form a thriving ecosystem within the earth of surface plants. At the same time, they guarded the surface from undead forces, to prevent them from destroying the surface life before it had a chance to adapt to their new existence. Thus, three independent ecosystems all thrived as one, with a peaceful alliance of abstract races to guard them: the underground ecology, the adapted surface ecology, and the old surface ecology that is being treated inside the cities, in the hopes that it will one day be returned to an again fertile surface.
