The Great War

Military action

With all of the strides in technology and weapons it was bound to happen. No one knows what happened but the races fought for over a century against each other, forming crude alliances that lasted only as long as it took to betray one another.

The time of the Great War had come, and though no one can remember why it started, everyone knows how it ends. Over the next century Humans, Elves, Half-elves, and Dwarves fought each other for dominance. Nations sent armies to the borders, troops died in vain, and Kings and Queens were assassinated. The dwarves had built clockwork assassins, unmatched in combat and undying in battle. The elves and humans allied together to stop this new calamity, creating their own kind of warrior. Fusing magic and the healing prayers of the Gods, they made Psions. Beings that could use their minds to move things, cause pain in others, and even read peoples' minds. These warriors could stop the assassins by shutting down their minds, but some of them hated the fighting they had to do. Declaring independence and no allegiance to the human/elf coalition, they fled and hid, trying to survive despite being hunted. Years went by and the Psions created more mind warriors, using dwarves as test subjects. They were eventually thrown down and outlawed, but some of the new Psions escaped, fleeing into the deep tunnels of Nagar and the forests of Syll, disguising themselves and staying hidden.
