[quote=Alchemistic] In the end, everyone has their own valiant tale of how the war ended, but in truth, it was a combination of knowledge and collaboration between what little of the world's races survived. Advanced Dwarven Metallurgy, Elvish Magic, and The last Mankind's Technology combined together to create The Angel's Fist, a weapon of immense power. In fact, it was a big, magical cannon, the force of which tore a massive trench up the middle of the continent, the blue white beam of light smashing into the gateway the demon hordes used to crossover. The force of just emitting the beam sent the cannon tearing through the city behind it, and into the ocean where it is assumed it broke apart. Even though the war had technically ended, the next few years would remain just as difficult with plague, disease, and the loss of great libraries of knowledge, and the few remaining bands of demons, all of which lead into a worldwide dark age. [/quote] Sorry, for some reason that part got cut out .-. Thanks for noticing it. [quote=Alchemistic] Approximately five hundred years from the last Repelling, the title associated with the war itself, because evil can never truly be killed [/quote] it's stated in the background, The Repelling was the War with the demons, though I moved it and edited it to make it a little clearer and more noticeable. The last one pretty much speaks for itself. The nomads are (were) nomads. Wandering peoples of the desert never truly settling down, until now.
