Melkor , with his gaze set upon the vast wilderness of Nehwon, saw a place where the river met the sea, where the earth's veins pulsed with raw magic, and where the fabric of reality was thin enough to weave threads of enchantment through it. It was here, at the mouth of the River Tilth, that Melkor envisioned a city unlike any other—a haven for the Gold Elves , his most cherished creations, and a beacon of hope and wisdom for all who sought refuge or knowledge within its bounds.

Primordia - The Creation of Elf and Man
Era beginning/endThe Elves and the Humans have been present since the beginning of time. The Gold Elves, sometimes known as Sun Elves, were the only Elves in the universe and are the purist of all Elven kind. From Gold Elves, all other races of Elves have descended. Then, they were known as the “die Kinder” and they were created purely to inhabit the world of Nehwon. The Creators of all material planes are Gods known as the “Old Ones”. Two of these Gods, Melkor and Salan, created the seed of Elf and Man upon the lands of Nehwon. The Old Ones have done this before, laying the seed of life on a planet, then abandon their creations for a millennia, eventually returning to monitor the progress of their creations. Melkor and Salan have always rivaled one another. To this point, Melkor set to the task of creating the Gold Elves to rule all of Nehwon while Salan created Humans for the same purpose. As creations of the Gods are apt to do, Elves tend to see themselves made in the image of Melkor and Humans see themselves reflected in Salan. The Old Ones are of course neither and their true natures are incomprehensible to the mortal mind. As they created new worlds, the Old Ones left portals linking innumerable worlds spanning the entire multiverse. Guardians were also created to protect the integrity of these portals so that the bridges between these worlds would always remain. In Nehwon, that guardian is known as Ningauble of the Seven Eyes. He protects the portal that lies inside of an immense cave structure aptly named "Ningauble's Caverns". Ningauble is referred to as the "gossiper of the gods", for his fondness for stories of an unusual nature and his sometimes bizarre spies and informants. Ningauble is a mysterious being with a manipulative character. Some say that Ningauble had been created by the Old Ones for men to sharpen their imaginations for the purpose of solving complex riddles and solving the mysteries of life. Equally known for his ability to see into the future and his cunning mischievousness, some sages question whether he has the gift of foresight, or whether he merely sets the stage for future events with such a bewildering cunning that only an efreet or an adept could evade acting the part given him.

Founding of Horborixen
FoundingHorborixen, a city founded over six millennia ago by the mythical Gold Elves, stands along the River of the Lost, named for the legends of travelers disappearing into its mists. Its architecture reflects the ancient elven harmony with nature, with buildings that seem to emanate an ethereal light. The city's cultural tapestry is rich, centered around the Arcanum, a vast library said to contain the collective wisdom of ages past. Despite its beauty and knowledge, dark rumors of ancient curses and sealed powers hint at a hidden depth to Horborixen's serene facade.

Treatise Mythan discovered
Discovery, ScientificA team of archaeologists commissioned by the Royal Court of Horborixen made a groundbreaking discovery that would profoundly impact the arcane and medical knowledge of Nehwon. While exploring a vast underground burial catacomb located approximately 25 miles east of Mythan Belanore , the team unearthed an ancient scroll known as the Treatise Mythan. This scroll, hidden away for centuries, revealed secrets of alchemy, herbology, and the lunar cycles of Nehwon's moons, The Traveler and The Dark Lady .

The Great War
Military: WarThe thousand years leading to this event, show great prosperity for both elf and man. A marriage was arranged between an Elven princess, named Laeanna and a Quarmallian prince named Haidar . Both were considered the best of both races. Intelligence, beauty, and wisdom. It was a fairy tale wedding, but something happened on their wedding night. No one knows what was said, there is no surviving record of the details of this event. Laeanna and her personal guard left the great city, whose name is lost in time but location is in the area of the Forbidden City of the Black Idols. It is said the black idols were to mock the princess. thousands were made, lining ever road. It is a place of evil black magic. It is said that the young beautiful princess was cursed and covered here face for the remainder of her life. Haidar later became the first Overlord of the Quarmallian. He was brilliant strategist and tactician. it is said that had his sons receive half of his cunning and intelligence, the war with the elves would have ended before the end of the Millennium. But his heirs, all ten of them were barely shadows compared to him. They fought more with each other than with the elves. Haidar died at the ripe old age of 555. The last years of his life were spent trying to patch the problems with the elves. This war between the Elves and Quarmallians lasted 500 years and nearly destroyed all of Nehwon. Both claimed victory over the other, but neither could continue to fight. The Elves retreat to what was left of the forest. The Quarmallians retreated to their undercity fortresses. And so Begins the Age of Men.

Kleshian Empire Founded
FoundingSoma Inene Otimwa rallied the peoples that lived in the Jungles of Klesh and formally declared the area to be a politically soveriegn nation. This set the Kleshians apart from the war raging between the Quarmallian and the Elves as they sided with neither and defended themselves from both. That said, the Elves were not aggressive towards the Kleshian. The Quarmallian, however, would not only raid smaller settlements within the Jungles of Klesh, they would enslave its citizens and use them as a source of labor to aid the war and supply Quarmall with resources.
