[b]Brief History of Argnia[/b]
[b]Creation[/b]
During this period the world was created by the gods. Not much is known about this period as the gods either disappeared, abandoned the world, or were subdued by another force. This is also when the Shiara became an actual race of divine beings who would later become the Lords.
[b]War of the Lords[/b]
The Shiara inhabited much of the known world in Argnia and would fight in countless wars for thousands of years. Little by little the Shiara were being killed off until only a few thousand remained. During this time, Vercyx and Sidonis, two of the most powerful Lords, fought a very long and brutal war. Vercyx, with the help of Solicon, was able to banish Sidonis in a large cavern known as Under Deep, where he would remain for eons. Eventually, these Lords were so drained of power that the Elves were able to rise to power.
[b]Rise of the Elven Nation[/b]
When the Shiara had used much of their power, the First Elves rose to power, crushing the armies of the Lords and bringing peace and prosperity to the land. They constructed large cities, discovered new lands, and were very advanced. The Nation would last for thousands of years.
[b]The First Invasion[/b]
The First Invasion was onset by the Wraithlord, whose power had returned. He used his power to conjure up a mighty horde of demonic beings to crush the Elves. Fortunately, the Elves were able to fight them off, but at a great cost. The Elves then spent many years writing down a 'prophecy': an approximate date for when the Wraithlord's power would return and he'd come for a second invasion.
[b]Fall of the Elven Nation, The Arcane Wars[/b]
After the First Invasion the Elven Nation was extremely weakened. Political tensions also ensued, as some of the Elves wanted to use magic freely, others wanted to police it, and some wanted to use the dark arts such as necromancy. This political tension worsened over time and the Nation folded underneath itself: one one side were the High Elves and on the other side was the Dark Elves. So devastating was the Arcane Wars that the Nation fell, the race of man usurped their lands, and both sides were changed forever. The High Elves would be forced to flee into Elaria, seeking refuge by the Wood Elves who still lived within. The Dark Elves were forced to flee as well, where they'd construct Voltunkund, a city of dark elves.
