History Of Ennestrei

The history of Ennestrei is a pendulum swinging forever between war and peace. It begins with ancient myths and continues into the modern day.

The Primordial Gods
The world began with the first dawn, brought by the dancing of Li Ming across the heavens. Her light attracted the attention of Zalaam, who was himself darkness, and the two fell in love, conceiving a child. The pregnancy was a difficult one and, when the time came to give birth, the child, who was known as Contra, burst like a flaming comet from her womb and fell to the earth below. As Contra dug deeper and deeper into the ground, new life sprang from the tunnels he left behind; the first ekskafeis.

Ancient Civilizations
Where Li Ming rested, her knowledge and grace gave birth to mortals - the xinshi - who build a magnificent empire upon her body; the kindgom of Taiyang. Meanwhile, Zalaam brooded alone in the deepest, darkest marsh he could find, and the combined energy of his grief and anger gave rise to a new and terrible race known as the basharia. The Basharian Empire would go on to nearly conquer the known world until a cataclysm wiped them out during the Red Star Extinction Event.

The Elemental Gods Arrive
As the world reeled from the impact of the Red Star, nature began to reassert itself, opening portals to the Green, source of all natural energy, and through these portals came new gods such as Derstein, Gureto Pozu, Mahishasura, Nnonya Dari Emas, and the Loa. These gods create new races; the lycanians, nekomimi, simians, and grenouille. During this time a war erupts between Mahishasura and the combined forces of Nnonya Dari Emas and Derstein which will further define the landscape.

The Burrower Wars
At some point in prehistory, the tribal ekskafeis began a long internal conflict. During this time the Olagis Unification and the Prabalan Pact rise to prominence as mages guilds.

The War Of The Three
From 3 BVD to 1 BVD, tenThe War Of The Three is fought between the Olagis Unification and the Prabalan Pact. This bloody conflict isolates the ekskafeis from the rest of Ennestrei and reduces the native population to one-third its size. In a last, desperate battle occurring in 0 BVD the war is ended when the Olagis Unification is transformed into the energy beings known as myalo and forcefully divide the continent into three distinct lands separated by oceans but connected by the Southlands on one side.

The Free City Of Olathea
From 1 ADV to 34 ADV a period of expansion and rebuilding occurs.
