WIP Norta: Fields Of War

[Python Panda]

 

Background/Story

Spoiler

Norta is a legendary place of war. People of Norta are always fighting with each other. The Four (sub regions) all want total control for themselves. Each ruler has their own plans for Norta.......

Shea has been studying the four regions for years. Even though the penalty for contacting the Gods is death. He secretly learned the ancient art of contacting them. Most notably is Augh'Undo, the God of Air. This God has been tutoring Shea in an ancient art, that was once forgotten. Thanks to Augh’Undo, Shea was able to understand what each region wanted.

Before he was able to get help others in the other regions started research on their own. Each sub-region was able to contact other Gods:

• Omina (Om-na) - God of Fire - Contacted by the Desert Region
• Etzleg (Its-lag) - God of Water - Contacted by the Golf Region
• Corin (Cor-in)  - God of Earth - Contacted by the Pine Region
• Augh'Undo (Argh-oondo) - God of Air - Contacted by the Rockies Region. Augh’Undo has only been in contact with Shea.
•  

When Shea learned of this he started to get into contact with them to see if they all had the same goals. Thanks to Shea a resistance was born. The resistance started up a rebellion from this constant war. They would attack all sides. This resistance grew and grew. Eventually they overcame the rulers and a time of peace has started over Norta.

Unknowing to the resistance the former rulers started to learn how to talk to the Gods as well. The former rulers passed down their knowledge through their following and their families. They may have lost the war of all the land, they all kept the idea of one day of ruling all of Norta.

• Searumal (Sear-u-mal) - Demon God of Fire - Contacted by former ruler of the Desert Region.
• Guznar (Guz-na) - Demon God of Water - Contacted by former ruler of the Golf Region.
• Gamran (Game-ran) - Demon God of Earth - Contacted by former ruler of the Pine Region.
• Fukhi (Fu-k-hi) - Demon God of Air - Contacted by former ruler of the Rockies Region.

Before Shea passed from this world, he traveled deep into the pine region to seek out the Elves. Even though through constant war, and once being the dominant race of Norta, they are now only a few hundred left, Shea sought to teach them how to communicate with the Gods that once backed them in the ware which brought peace to the land of Norta. After his last few years on this world Shea was proud of what he saw in his life time. Though Augh’Undo was sad to see Shea leave, he left him with a message to pass on to the Elves…..

It has been 390 years since the Legendary Hero Shea passed from this world. Since then many people have ruled over the four regions. Though unknowing to the people of the land, most of the old rulers’ followers and family were now back in power. Once again war is about to break out between the Rockies, Gulf, and Desert Region.

This is where your journey begins. Will you become the helping hand that is needed to stop the war or will you help those who want chaos and death? Pick your path, though do so wisely. As only one path will lead you to fame and glory as the other will lead you despair and hatred.
 

 

Races/Classes

Spoiler

Races:

• Human: Once out populated by the Elves, they are now the dominant race. During the 2,000 years of battles and wars, humans made alliances among each other. Although the alliances never lasted more than one battle, they were able to drive back the Elves to the point where they could only defend their home land. After the Elven people stopped attacking and started to defend their region, the humans  started to focus on each other.
• Elves: Once the dominant race of Norta, now only a handful remain. Thanks to the 2,000 years of battles and wars. The Elven people are now sacluded deep into the Pine region of Norta. Many humans have forgotten about these creatures that are only in the stories about the wars, and battles that happened in the past.
•

           The materials these mountains brought were of great importance, but they were also influential when it came to architectural designs as the vast majority of buildings were designed with shapes and elements found in the mountains.
          The skyline is spreading with peaks of mountains and even from afar they manage to display their beauty. Recreation is impeccable in Axaxelum Kingdom and it has attracted a lot of attention. Countless cultures have left their mark not just on education, but also upon the city's identity. What historically was a city of no variation has grown into a large melting pot and it's this that unites the thousands people to this day.
          It's this multicultural identity that has truly left its mark. Hundreds of concession stands, coffeehouses and sandwich bars offer a plethora of culinary choices and those who feel hungry for something else can enjoy tours, dance, one of the many parks or one of the many other recreational venues.

            The trade resources these seas brought were of great importance, but they were also influential when it came to trading the sea and waterfalls and rivers played a huge step in making trade routes possible.
