I genned a world, wanting to embark on a new fort. I was not prepared for what I found.
A world where the Elven Menace is on the pinnacle of Victory. The Three great powers of the north, The Old Kingdom, A Human Civlization along the coast with significant amounts of multi-culturalism, The Hellish Sin, a Goblin civlization on the frozen frontier of the world, and The Crow of Kindnesses, a elven Civlization in the heartland of the continent, wedged between the wastes to the south, and the mountains to the west. For many years, the wars between the three kept The Three Balanced, while the southern nations, The Dwarven civ of The Radiant Work, and The Human civ of The Union of Churches, Poorer as they were slowly and peacefully grew to encompass the southern half of the continent, while the Elven nation to the far west gradually retreated farther north as the Union of Churches Grew, seperate from the continent itself.
Following the end of the Age of Legends, However, The Elven Kingdom managed to gain the upper hand in the wars, and Pushed both the goblins and the humans back. Using a system of Mass-conscription, the elven army swelled to the size of 5000, easily replacing any losses as they occured, and pushing the humans back into the sea, and the Goblins into the Glaciar. Soon, all that remained of Human territory was a collection of Cities in the Heart, Hevily guarded, yet suffering under the elven Onslaught. The Hellish Sin Had managed to regain some strength, but was still incapable of defeating the Elven army in a battle, and so they bided their time, waiting. the Old Kingdom too, bided its time, beset by attacks as it was, hoping to one day return to glory.
Soon, around the year 240, The elves came into contact with the northern-most Dwarven settlements. While there had technically been overlap in their territories since year 60, the frontiers on both parts had been largely uninhabited. However, following the exhaustion of mountains in other parts of Dwarven Terrotory, aggresive building had uncovere the nation.
The dwarves were worried. While The Elves had not yet started hostilities, they knew it could only be a matter of time before the Old Kingdom was defeated and the elves turned their attention southward. With this in mind, they sent a group of dwarves deep into elven territory, onto the mountainrage on the west side of their empire, and would there build a Mighty Fortress. Then, They would Declare war on the elves from this spot, and draw more and more attention to themselves and away from the front, and maybe, just maybe, The united forces could defeat the Crows.'
This Fortress was named: Skyseals, Settled by the Steel Of Neutrality (Not for Long!) Our Effort is to wage war, both enviromentally, and physically, till we have defeated the elven scum and purged them from these mountains. It will be hard, But We Will not Stop!
Strike the Earth!
