With steel and determination the Ulmish horde crushed the weak bodies of the dead. With brazen faith the Inquisition of Marignon brought holy fire upon them. And with guile and deception, the Pythians infiltrated their unholy sanctums and brought them down. The scholars of Man had decided to join them in their quest, even if their final contribution to the end of the war was limited. Indeed, they had been hit worst by the Ashen Empire of all the extant living nations, and this was not ignored by the others. And the C'tissian lizardmen had been sidelined and left to their own devices, as they posed no real threat to the union of these human nations. In the end, the Ashen Empire, which had been stronger than any one kingdom or empire in the land, could not withstand the combined might of their opposition.
But now, countless years have passed since the undead empire fell. Many generations have come and gone. Much of the barren wasteland they had left behind had recovered nigh to the state they had been in ages past, only to be changed by humanity. The great war between life and unlife had faded from memory, become a myth to the great majority of people. New kingdoms had risen and fallen in the lands the undead had once controlled, while the nations of the old times still persisted. Magic, while still practiced, gave way to technology centuries ago, and now the two walk hand in hand. The gods of the people no longer walk among them, although magical beings still are present to this day.
Would this be an age of great turmoil, or of great prosperity?
((OOC: Alright. So, in case someone remembers anything about the history of this nation, the Ashen Empire of Ermor has fallen and the human nations won the war. A lot of time has passed, and to make things easier for me, they have reached lowish future tech levels of technology which has certain magical aspects to it depending on the nation in question. But I will get deeper into that in later posts.))
