History of Lore

When mankind was first created they only knew the basics of survival. Eat, reproduce, sleep, ect. It wasn't until the arrival of the goddess Kul fell from sky and awakened mana for the human race as well as showing there is more to life than survival.

Mankind slowly started to advance. Before long they used mana to make life and work easier. Mankind worshiped the goddess and built a shrine for her to live in.

Some time had passed when a human found the first dragon Queen hidden in a cave. The Queen told the human of a threat that is soon come and bestowed a gift upon mankind to help preserve the land. When the human's wife gave birth he noticed in the first few months, the child started to grow dragon scales on its skin. In time the child developed the ability to cover certain parts of its body entirely in dragon scales. Much later this gift spread throughout humanity.

Decades later, a small spacepod fell from the sky. Inside, a infant. The tiny creature was unlike anything ever seen, with midnight black skin and a face that resembled a dinosaur. The human race took in the creature and raised it, not knowing the danger it harbored inside.

At the same time, the vympiri came to earth lead by, Dracula, in search of the goddess, Kul. The lord of vympiri desired the power of Kul to give his people manaand color at birth. The race stayed in the shadows, abducting humans who have yet to adobt to the art of combat.

More time passed before they came. The Darkness attacked with ferocious might. Mankind was not prepared. The Darkness resembled the child that fell from the sky all those years ago. They had claim to reclaim what dwelled in the child, the dark god, Darqus. The vympiri was forced out of the shadows as they too were attacked by the Darkness.

Things looked bleak for mankind who was still new to combat. They were pushed back and extinction was close at hand. It wasn't until the goddess of light spilt life force between four humans. These four humans each took hundreds of their people and scattered, hiding in what is now the four great nations. With the four human host of Kul, mankind could fight back. It was years later when the final battle approached. By this time, humans had an understanding of how to battle with mana. Some even invented weapons athat utilezed mana but it still wasn't enough. It was a feirce battle butbit looked as though the Four Maidens would lose. In a last ditch effort, three of the madiens gave their shared portion of Kul to one. The process killed them but in the end, humanity won. They had driven the remaining Darkness off their planet.

The lone survivor of the Four Madiens, Ahsha Nadirè, founded The Order of Knights. The Order was task with safe gaurding humanity and preparing for the return of the Darkness. Kul would continue to be passed down from Nadirè to Nadirè.

As technology continued to advanced, humankind started to understand Darqus. They wish to give him a host but humans could not weild contain the dark god without dying a horrible death.

It was then that Biohumans was created. These humans created by extracting life force from two compatible beings were made to find a suitable host as well as help prepare for the return of the Darkness.

A decade later, the four universities were out into place to help younglings prepare for the life of a knight.
