Elmetain

The Elmetain were a tribe of men dating back to The Era of Slavery. They were nomads and pillaged other villages, trying to survive as a result of the Wars of Slavery. A man, who would become known as Glemen; would begin having visions which would ultimately change the way of life for the tribe and lead them to the first discovered crystals. After Glemen‘s discovery of crystals, he was able to teach others in his tribe to find them and over hundreds of years these people slowly learnt the magic of these crystals, believing them to be fallen stars. They learnt how to live off the land instead of stealing from others, how to appreciate other creatures, the properties of each crystal found and their fascination and love for the stars began.
By The Era of Dragons, they had finally settled and built a city in the South-West of Valgalia. They continued to learn more about the crystals and with this knowledge came longer life-spans and knowledge of crystal healing. The other peoples of the world heard whispers of the Elmetain‘s power and wished to seek it for themselves. Sadly history repeated itself, and in time the Elemtain‘s home was destroyed again by men from Scathor and their Wyverns. The Elmetain became divided, some believing the crystals had brought karma to them for their earlier days of pillaging.
This conflict was very important as the Elm separated from each other and felt anger towards the ones who stood by the crystals and swore by their powers. The others felt the crystals were dark and corrupt and had brought all this disaster among them.

The Conflict

Prelude

The Great Land Shift and wars of Dragons really set the scenes for this conflict and made the Elm grow resentment and hatred for each other. This divided the peoples of the Great City.
