Pre-Liminary Round 1: Lucifer's Task Completion

History of Drath

Drath exists as the largest continent on our world. Its shores were overwhelmed long ago by mountain ranges that blocked off the insides peoples from the ocean and forced them to thrive on the few rivers within the continent. Humans are the only race that managed to survive the voyage across the ocean and over the mountains to Drath. The earliest known races on Drath were the Elves, Trolls, Dragons, and Dwarves. These three races existed in relative harmony for centuries until the Goblins escaped from the Underworld and emerged from high above the dwarven highlands. Banding with the Trolls, the two armies ransacked the entire continent for decades

Although the goblin and troll populations were eventually decimated, new problems loomed on the horizon. It was about this time that humans arrived from an unknown land across the ocean and settled with the elves. Relative peace existed on Drath as the human race grew stronger beneath the shadow of the elves. It was around this time that the first Dragoons?an amalgamation of a humanoid and dragon?came into existence. The method of creation for the fusion was unknown for decades, and soon enough, the powerful hybrid?s existence was cast aside when news of a new war broke out.

The War of Magic, fought between the humans and elves, was a rather swift campaign due to the stunning level of arcane knowledge the relatively young race of man had developed. Following the fighting, new lines were drawn as alliances were formed. Over the decades to come, a radical new leader, a dragoon by the name of Rinallo Kallak, would rise and seize dominion over the races of dragon and dragoon. To the north, Kri Sona would solidify its power even as their hated rivals, the dwarves, tried desperately to avenge the exterminated elves.

This brings us to the present day: A time where the next generation I slowly coming to age, and with them, a slew of new idealists and warriors. As one of those idealists will you help restore order to the war ravaged continent of Drath? Or will you dedicate your life to seeing your race completely obliterate its foes? The future of Drath is in yours hands now.


Races

Humans ? Human?s are the most technologically advanced race on Drath. They inhabit the nation of Kri Sona. They are the most suitable race for magic use. They do not get a long to well with the dwarves, seeing as how the Human?s wiped out the elves who had a long alliance with the Dwarves.
Starting Race

Dragons ? The Dragons are one of the oldest known races on Drath. They inhabit the nation of Kallak. They are wise and powerful beasts and have long gotten along with both dwarves and humans. They share a nation with their half brethren, the Dragoon?s. Dragons have a special ability to bond with human?s, which creates a dragoon. The Dragons are capable of most magic, though not as on a large scale like the humans. Their limit on magic is not as strict as the Dragoon?s, Thanks to Rinallo.
Starting Race: Age 1 year, about the size of a Great Dane.

Dwarfs ? The Dwarvan society is not as sophisticated as the human?s. They inhabit the nation of Brutania. The Dwarfs absolutely despise the human?s, mainly for wiping out their allies, the elves. The Dwarfs are very built and short, but that does not stop them. They are incapable of using magic however.
Starting Race

Goblins ? Spawned from the Underworld, these creatures are extremely resourceful. They are very good persuaders and are one of the soul reason?s why the elves no longer exist. Goblins are sneaky little creatures and are about the same height as dwarves; just no where near as built. They are any color you can think of, which is odd for a goblin.
Starting Race

Trolls ? One of the bigger races on Drath, but not as dumb as you may think. There are different sects of Trolls throughout the continent. Rock Trolls, Forest Trolls, and Sand Trolls. The Rock Troll?s work for the Dwarfs in the fields and during battle. Sand Trolls roam the desserts of Kri Sona. Forest Trolls live in the forests of the nation of Kallak.
Sand, Rock, and Forest Trolls are all Starting Races

Dragoons ? The most unique race on all of Drath. They are the finished product of a human and Dragon bonding. The leader, Rinallo Kallak, is the leader of both the dragons and the Dragoons. The Dragoons get along well enough with their half brethren, the dragons, but not so well with the humans. The dragoon?s are capable of some magic, though most of it is banned.
--Non-playable race until acquisition of Dragon/Human Bond technique

Elves ? Although considered to have been utterly exterminated by their former human allies during the War of Magic, nowadays it has become apparent that a number of elves have managed to escape that bloodbath. Where they live or how they survived unscathed is only, but constant rumors persist that they live in the Stonevale Mountains near their ancestral home of Kri Sona.
--Non-playable race

Demons ? The depths of the Underworld are policed by an amalgamation of differing demons and devils. All of which vary in size, shape, and ferocity. Chief among them is Hades?who rules the Underworld with an iron fist.
