Once upon a time
there was
a beautiful planet...
Nature reigned
without dominating. It simply allowed creation to unfold in all
of its magnificence.
A strange species appeared one day. It wasn't as equipped to
deal with its surroundings, oddly enough. No one knows their 'true
origin'...
They multiplied and slowly colonized and continued to expand.
They seemed to be operating from some foreign installation in
their being, strangely apart from the natural rhythm of this
virgin planet.
All sorts of
unnatural ideas and superstitious
belief systems abounded.
No one knew what drove this new species for sure. Some were
benign and enjoyed their new surroundings. Others sought to gain
some sort of control over these new organisms.
Many strange phenomena unfolded over time.
It appeared to be a
sort of tug of war for control on small and large scales. The
vast majority was swept into whatever was being forced upon
them.
As suffering and fear for survival increased, so decreased their
connection to the planet they were spawned upon. Confusion and
fear became the rule of thumb.
Huge castles had been erected at first, then whole cites of
castles.
Disease and starvation
devastated those not killed in feudal wars between factions of
those seeking power and control.
Eventually the biggest castles and
their overlords decided to try
and control the entire planet...
All hell broke loose...
