[center][color=SlateBlue][h2]Galbarian History[/h2][/color] [b]Chapter 3: Evolution of the Cimex Part 1[/b][/center] Since the beginning of Galbar, many races have come into existence. First the humans, the Dyun, Uri, and Dragons, but one race has remained a hallmark of horror since the beginning of this planet, and that, is the Cimex. A vicious humanoid bug race, armed with reactive evolution, an intellect on par with that of a human, an adrenaline like ability that can be used at will, and have Hive mentality. Over the past few years though, the Cimex have not been heard from, the jungles of the Cimexian Realm have not been traversed by humans nor Uri, for fear of their power, and the Cimex only grow stronger. Over the past 80 or so years, the Cimex have been transforming psychologically and physically. The greatest of these psychological changes are Morals and Conscience, The Common Good, Civic Virtue, and definable Emotions. These psychological changes have began to show more and more in Second Generation Cimex, better known as the Singular Generation. As the Hive Generation died off, the Singular Generation have began to stray from the path that the first Cimex did. As for physical changes, the Cimex keep their humanoid bug archetype, but lose to huge wrist claws, the Reactive Evolution has become less reactive, taking months or years to adapt. But the Cimex make up for some of their loses with the slowly forming governmental system. As was mentioned before, some of the physical and physiological traits have changed, some switching places. Their Hive Mentality, which literary allowed them to become one mind, has become a greater form of Civic Virtue. This concept is a hall mark in this newly formed Cimexian society, so much so thag the word 'I' has almost completely dissaperaed, now replaced with 'we'. Brotherhood and working for the good of society has even inculcated itself into rising Cimexian Rule. Now no longer a monarchy, but a for of government where the Cimex are divided into 5 clans, each rulled by 5 councilmen, who in turn, look to 5 high councilmen, who enforce the laws and rules. The 5 clans each represent and are made to do specific jobs. Mining and Smithing, Warriors, Guides(Leaders), Builders and Civil Servants(cleaners), and a newly emerging clan, working on Alchemic Magic. With the emergence of the Singular Generation, their Void energy can be used in a different way. With the discovery of their ability to use Alchemy, tests of shown that void energy can be used to as a payment for Equivalent Exchange, depending of what is wanted, a set amount of void energy must be taken, but Cimex only have a set amount, once depleted, they must wait a few days before the producing organ to make more. These changes has served as a huge distraction for the Cimex, but slowly but surely, the Cimex are showing the same traits as humans. Capable of showing emotions, working for the good of society, a government based on that concept, and a new magic exclusive to them and their abilities. But worry not, the Cimex have not lost their Warrior roots, all Cimex who are born in this era, are first being trained as warriors before being sent off to another clan to be trained in that. With the sudden appearance of of volcanos in Orabakhian land in between Gorilla land and Ruigh, Cimex have been utilizing Chimera to colonize these lands, specifically avoiding the realm of the dead. These volcanos are not active, but a large population of Cimex and already createing city's in the craters of said volcanos, the Cimex are quickly becoming conformable in the land, but no relations with humans or the dead have been made, but any human who walks into Cimexian lands have been tortured and sent back, mind shattered. [center][b]Chapter 4: Ascension of the Uri Part 1[/b][/center] Uri, a species of plant like people who rule the eastern half of Arguilla, and have colonized all land in between The Dead realm and Brightwood. Although they have not experienced any psychological or physical changes like the Cimex have been undergoing, the Uri have been making many technological advances, such as large boats, under the rule of the celestial blessed King Duisis II, the Uri have prospered. After successfully annexing Garakai and the freeing of the souls held their with the utilization of Soul Weaving. As was planned, a huge Soulwoven Iron Wall was raised, dividing the border between them and the human realm on Arguilla. This Iron Wall was not just meant for defensive reasons, but for energy also. Inside the great wall, are large enchanted copper blocks. The enchanted iron is made to take the scalding heat that it takes from the sun on its surface, and have the copper blocks inside absorb it and store it. Making the blocks extremely hot, and the iron cool. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. The Uri created batistas, huge crossbows mounted on top of Wall, armed with a lifting hitch and pivot, allowing it to be lifted up over the base and aimed without moving the whole contraption, capable of shorts 15 bolts in 10 seconds. On the inside of the batista, is a plethora of gears allowing it to be semi automatic, also know as a repeating batista. This whole contraption can be maned by 2 Uri, one to reload once the magazine was finished, and another to fire. But this whole thing was powered by what is called Solar thermal energy. The heat absorbing enchanted cooper blocks, are placed inside and object, which now releases and transforms the heat into work or energy to power the object, such as in this case, the gears inside the batista. This whole process is a complicated one, created by the Uri who follow the path of Knowledge. The Uri have created many weapon prototyoes with the Temple of Soul Weaving, and are now looking to create household items powered my STE. Despite this whole concept still in it's infant stages, the King has funded this project, and the Temple, wanting to create more technology, and slowly gaining a better understanding over both the magical, and scientific properties of Soul Weaving. This has not been the only discover over the past 80 years. After the Demigod Ull'yang blessed the Uri with Hyperphotosyntisis, a new path has been created called the of Solari. Uri who wish to follow this path worship this demigod and train this ability from childhood, studying and understanding the limits of this skill. The Solarian Monks of Uri who follow this path and have mastered this ability. They are revered and looked up to just as much as Soul Weavers are. The Uri have colonized all lands that have not been claimed to the eest in between The Dead Realm and Brightwood the land named Duisis, after the name of the capital back on Arguilla, which is being moved. Relations with humans have been well received. The Uri help humans in anyway they can, but keep this magic and technology secret, at least for the time being.
