Once there was a land. Myrithica. A powerful land filled with magic and glory, good and evil. Two gods rule this one land, one god to represent life and one to represent death. These two gods could not live their eternity in peace and so they went to war with each other. The twin gods both took forms to represent their own desires. Life chose the form of the trees, a collection of roots and branches which grew from the nearby trees, the god chose the name Lady of the woods as the roots would form into the shape of a fine young woman, lifted above the ground by the roots supporting her form. Death however was a fickle god and could not decide on set form so he took two, one form a black spiked dragon the other a giant of a man, black armoured and armed with a lethal mace, the god of death then chose the name of the Dragonlord and set to expand his power into the realm of life. With the two forms chosen the gods then made their servants. For the Lady her servants where the Sisters of nature, dryads able to move where their lady could not. Death too created children in his image, Dragonborn, lizardmen cunning and powerful even when on their own. With their soldiers and their own forms the two gods were ready to wage war.

The war lasted countless aeons, the world being shaped as the forces of life moved across the world, sprouting trees and nature as they went. But where the Dragons forces went, the land became bleak and dark, the roots becoming strangling vines and the trees twisted and died. And province by province, meter by meter the Dragonborn slowly advanced to the home of the Ladys power. The great tree Itheriail, it was at the woods surrounding the giant tree that a great battle began between the Dragonborn and the Sisters. But this was a distraction for at the centre of the world there was a forge, it was here that all things were once made and here also where the Lady had put her last plan in place. She placed three vials into the forge and began to fill them with pure magic. The Dragonlord however was linked to the forge just as much as the Lady was and felt her tapping into its power and so he delved through many lost and secret tunnels into the bowels of the earth until he had reached the forge and whilst the Lady was distracted with creating the third vial he corrupted one of the vials by adding his own energy to the mix, before he could fully corrupt the second however the Lady discovered him and using the last vestige of her power cast the Dragonlord back from the forge, through the lost paths and out into legend.

On the surface world the Sisters and the Dragonborn suddenly stopped their fighting and as the energy keeping them to the world faded they too started to loose themselves, each of the Sisters's bodies grew still and twisted into a great forest, expanding the forest around Itheriail. The souls inside each of the Sisters went into the world and manifested as a creature, each on as different as the next. The Dragonborn too faded, their bodies peeling away and settling into the dust and dirt in the new forest, their spirits fled into the sky's creating storms, clouds and disease. And so all the world was still as the newly born creatures explored their new world and flourished.

But the the new world had not settled for within the forge the three vials still sat, waiting. Years passed until something cast the vials apart to separate areas of the land. One vial, the purest of the three was sent to Itheriail and in the branches of the trees it broke revealing the purest creatures in the land. The Elves, tall and proud with a great closeness with the wild and magic. In the deep of the world the half corrupted vial broke, from the deep of the world came the Dwarves, though short in size and not all as pure as the Elves they forged a name for themselves as master stone works, blacksmiths and inventors. Their grand cities were the pride of the world in the deep mountains, particularly the city Amarak sul, the one city the Dwarves built on the surface alongside the Elves and for a time there was peace across the world.

But the third vial had been lost to both the Elves and Dwarves, even as they built their cities their new cousins built to the south, not knowing of the power to the north. Climbing out of the mud where the lost vial had been cast, the lost children of the Dragonlord rose up and blinking they built, far faster than their cousins, and far more did they too desire. They were the Humans, though their land was harsh, for it had once been the Dragonlords heartland, they survived and built their capital of Lyanshi, a great castle surrounded by a city, guarded by a tidal river.

It did not take long for the Humans to make contact with the northern powers, but because of their dark history when the Humans discovered Dwarven mines they attacked them, claiming the Dwarven outpost in the border lands and sparking an interspecies war that lasted until the Elves intervened, ending the war and setting the younger races to rebuild the damage they had done.

Though the gods were powerful it still took them thousands of years to rebuild themselves, yet to the Elves it was no surprise when the Lady appeared before them, a tangled mass of roots and branches in the form of a woman. Yet the Dragonlord had not shown himself to the world and though the Lady warned the living of the coming threat they would not listen, save the Elves who alone set the watch the wilds of the world for the lost god to return to the world as he inevitably would. So started the second war of the gods. And here is where the legend is not yet written.
