[Hillan]

This story takes place in the realm of Ashnator, a world not completely unlike ours, geographically. It's lands are green with grass and it's ocean's are blue. The growth of species is different than that of Earth's for a very simple reason. There is no salt water, and the incredible amount of water on the planet have allowed uncountable variety of species in the natural kingdom. Man's existed on the realm for a very long time, thousands of years, in fact. Three Centuries years ago, The first great human kingdom, known as the kingdom of Ash named after the ash that revitalized the land after a gigantic forest fire, was founded. The three brothers that ruled the kingdom were warriors, the strongest, in fact. They protected their kingdom against all forms of evil. Dragons, Goblins, Beasts, Demons and the list goes on and on. They were the first three who understood the key to human strength in the world. The power, and importance of a soul, the spirit, in fact, the very essence of human life was what made man superior to other species in the land. The youngest brother wanted to use the power of the soul to empower the nature, to go backwards in time, to have mankind step back, and let mother nature run rampart. The oldest brother, wanted to do the opposite, he wanted to enslave nature, the animals, and make all other species bow before the might of mankind. The middle brother, was caught in the middle, for as the years passed, the conflict escalated. The two brothers made their own armies, splitting the kingdom in three parts, the two clashing for years. The middle brother knew that there was no good that could come from the fighting, and it burdened him, for both of his brothers wanted him to stand by their side, to defeat the other. The middle brother had enough. Splitting his kingdom, and giving it to his siblings, he went into exile. Deep into the caves of the world. In the caves, wandering for many years, harnessing the powers of his soul, he grew powerful. He was oblivious to the war of the outside, between his loved brothers whom now, because of years of bloodshed and tragedy had forgotten all about him, and all about the time when the three ruled together, like a family. The man found his way to a cave inside a volcano. Where he found the shimmering metal, flowing, like it'd be blood in veins. He found Bronze, naturally created from the copper veins in the caves, and combined with other ore thanks to the heat of the volcano. He began to craft the bronze over the course of years. Finding that unlike other materials, the bronze had a natural ability to channel the power of one's spirit. The man saw the possibilities in this, Bronze could be used to stop his brothers from fighting. He didn't have to shed anymore blood. He could unite the kingdom once again. He crafted a full suit of armor, and weapon for himself, before he headed back into the outside world. Hopeful. But his hopes were crushed as he arrived back home in the kingdom of ash. Seeing nothing but death and despair. His brothers had long since killed each other, their armies were destroyed, and mankind was shattered, without hope. But with the reappearance of the brother, they would constitute a new kingdom. A better one. Where people would live with nature, as it's kind masters. He taught the way of the bronze to the people, and they began rebuilding. The city of Bardum was built, and soon the excellence of the city of bronze spread all throughout the land, creating the kingdom of Amuldor, where science and magic would lead the world into a more modern age.
