Chapter 1 - The Beginnings

In the ancient beginnings, God created four immortal kings, each destined to govern a different race. Endowed with the finest qualities, they ruled over their respective domains. Among them was Adam, the immortal king of humans, who waged relentless wars against the orcs and elves, accompanied by his vast empire. In his conquest, he successfully vanquished the immortal kings Zod and Amon, who led the orc and elf races.

As the years passed, Adam's descendants grew weary and tired of his tyrannical reign, which was marked by terror and oppression. Eventually, driven by the desire for freedom, they rose up against their immortal ruler. In a climactic end, Adam was finally brought down by his own kin, ending his era of dominance.

Meanwhile, the dwarfen immortal king named Zeus mysteriously vanished, leaving behind a void in the lineage of immortal kings. Without their guiding presence, the world descended into chaos. New kingdoms sprouted, empires clashed with one another, rebellions ignited against oppressive rule, and wars raged incessantly, painting the world in hues of conflict.

Amidst this turmoil, a new world order slowly took shape. In the year 887, the Kinuch Empire emerged, carving its path to supremacy. Situated upon the vast Dragon Continent, its dominion extended far and wide. Alongside it, the Bilalo Kingdom arose in the northeastern islands, stretching from the north to the east-central region. On the southwestern islands, the realm of the Vin stood as a power in its own right.

The Kinuch Empire, under the rule of Emperor Sowok, stood as the supreme kingdom, its influence stretching across the Dragon Continent. The empire boasted a powerful army, advanced technology, and a flourishing economy. Emperor Sowok was a wise and just ruler, respected by his subjects and feared by his enemies.

To the north-east, the Bilalo Kingdom, ruled by King Rorik, thrived on trade and naval power. Its islands were rich in resources, and the kingdom's ships dominated the seas, bringing wealth and prosperity to its people. The Bilalo Kingdom maintained a fragile peace with the Kinuch Empire, often engaging in diplomatic negotiations to avoid conflict.

In the south-western islands, the Realm of the Vin flourished under the reign of Queen Hume. The Vin were a mystical and ancient race of elves, skilled in magic and connected to the natural elements. The realm was known for its lush landscapes, vibrant cities, and harmonious relationship with nature. The only other elven state were the spear of the ydhoeil occupying the dragon tale in the dragon continent.

There was also Great Ry, a dwarfen kingdom, more of a vassal state of the Kinuchian empire, while the orcs had a small region bestowed unto them by the bilalo kingdom in exchange for the combat abilities. The orcs formed a mercenary group, the ordez fighters that's what they named it.

Over the years, the realms had developed their unique cultures, traditions, and alliances. However, tensions began to rise as each ruler sought to expand their influence and secure their power.

Emperor Sowok, driven by a desire for dominance, launched a campaign to conquer the Bilalo Kingdom. His armies surged forward, laying siege to Bilalo's coastal cities and bringing them under Kinuch's control. The Kinuch Empire's grip tightened, and King Rorik was forced to bend the knee, becoming a vassal of Emperor Sowok.

Meanwhile, Queen Hume of the Realm of the Vin watched the conflict unfold with growing concern. She sensed the imbalance of power and feared for the survival of her people. With her mastery of magic, she sought to negotiate a fragile peace between the two dominant realms.

Through diplomatic channels and the use of ancient rituals, Queen Hume managed to arrange a summit between Emperor Sowok and King Rorik. The meeting took place on the neutral ground of the ancient island of Azura. The Queen's presence, combined with the mystical aura of the island, invoked an atmosphere of reverence and respect.

Emperor Sowok and King Rorik faced each other across a table adorned with maps and agreements. Their initial interactions were tense, fueled by years of rivalry and ambition. However, as the discussions progressed, they recognized the value of cooperation and the potential for a more prosperous future.

Under Queen Hume's guidance, they forged a pact—a formal alliance that would bring stability to the Dragon Continent. The Preservation of the People Accord established trade routes, shared military resources, and fostered cultural exchange between the Kinuch Empire, the Bilalo Kingdom and the Realm of the Vin. It was a historic moment, marking the beginning of a new era.

The three realms, once on the brink of chaos and war, found themselves united by a common purpose. The Kinuch Empire, the Bilalo Kingdom, and the Realm of the Vin embarked on a journey of mutual understanding, collaboration, and peace. Their combined strength ensured stability across the land, allowing each realm to thrive and prosper.

And so, the story of the Dragon Continent entered a new chapter—one of harmony, progress, and the shared pursuit of a brighter future for all its inhabitants.

"And thus, this marks the conclusion of Part 1 of our lecture, as the world stands on the precipice of a new era, where the Kinuch Empire claims the title of the supreme kingdom, shaping the destiny of the land."
