[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 5206067, member: 2012"] [B]An Strange, Uneasy Peace[/B] The end of the First Ogre War brought peace to the continent, for the first time, for as long as even the elves could remember. Everyone knew it wasn’t going to last. The demihumans knew that the ogres would come again and the humans knew that if the ogres didn’t come soon they would start to fight amongst each other again. It was inevitable — for 150 years it was inevitable. No one thought that the ogres would wait that long and that humanity would war with each other way before that much time had pasted, rather than live in peace. Yet, for a century-and-a-half the continent was a quiet, tranquil place (for the most part). Still divided, yes, but peaceful. Old soldiers itched for battle, while younger ones wondered what all the fuss was about. If the ogres did come, they’d be ready for them. Why waste valuable resources and time fighting with each other? This was the viewpoint of the young and it should be remembered that the young decide the future. In the Eastern Shores, harsh stability was the rule. As noted above, council members that did try to conquer the others were quickly defeated, their city-states annexed as a warning to other council members not to violate the Treaty of Lake Nest. Soon city-states banded together to form countries and marriages between nobles of different countries cemented the Eastern Shores together. In the western lands known as the Sword Gulf Region, it was a little less stable. Over a dozen minor skirmishes happened in 150 years but these conflicts never lasted long. No one wanted to fight a war in the middle of winter and there was always the threat of the ogres. Several city-states rose to prominence in this region at the time, completely oblivious to the civilization that was growing in the Eastern Shores. Avion City, Onaway, Halandra, and Steins still stand to this day even though their names have changed countless times since the end of the First Ogre War. Even the decadent Empire of Swords lay quiet during this time. Yes, they back-stabbed and betrayed each other but they never invaded the surrounding lands once or fought any internal civil wars. It was eerie to behold if you lived south of the Imperium in one of the many struggling city-states. It was like the Imperium dogs were taking a long nap. And in the lands of the elves and the dwarves, they waited. 150 years was nothing to them. If the humans south of the Greystone Mountains stood together then they would join the fight. If not, they would mourn the passing of a barbaric people they once called friends. [/QUOTE]
