The Val
The Val are a humanoid race of men and women who lead lives much like yours and mine. They are an intelligent people and their innate abilities are weaker than races who remain closer to nature. They are of normal build and strength.
Their history is rich and they have been pushing to shape the face of their world for hundreds of years. The oldest historical information about them dates back nearly two thousand years when the first king of men forged a great alliance with the El'Dren in order to defeat the Biel and lock them away in the depths of Mt. Halimar. King Tatroi was a mighty ruler but he was compassionate and he even tried to reason with the Biel but they'd long been driven mad. The most terrifying attribute of their reign of terror was the fact that they seemingly had no purpose for their carnage other than to destroy everything that the races of the world would come to create. we're going to go back, to a time before the alliance, when the El'Dren were being ravaged by the Biel.
The Draph'il become the El'Dren En Val
They were not the El'Dren then. They were the Draph'Il. They were towering creatures, closely related to the Inple and they were gentle, simple beings. They cared for nature. Some green-thumbs cared for gardens but the Draph'il cared for countries. The Biel Tek’in Viez would not stand for this. All they wanted to do was burn everything to the ground and build strange contraptions that no man had seen before. This angered the gentle giants and they went to war with the Biel. The war escalated when the Biel began to cut down trees in order to create their massive mechanisms but there was something more about their weapons, something more sinister. They began to firebomb the Draph'il's homes and that was the needle that tipped the scale. The Draph'il launched a massive campaign against the Biel Tek'in Viez and over hundreds of years they would meet on the battlefield.
The Drag'Konin and the El'Dren En Val.
As hundreds of years passed the Draph'il began to grow smaller and smaller. The one thing that didn't decrease was their hatred for the Biel Tek'in Viez. As the Draph'il changed in size they began to be known as the El'Dren En Val, the children of Draph'il. The Drag'Konin were descendants of powerful Dragons that once ruled the skies but they were losing the majesty and grace of their forefathers as they became more like the Val and the El'Dren. The El'Dren and the Drag were the first races to become allies in the quest to defend Regalis against the tyranny of the Bien Tek'in Viez but the El'Dren shunned the Drag for their belief in Brygaad, the Dragon King. Brygaad was a tyrannical creature, a monstrous dragon favoring mayhem over peace and prosperity. Brygaad was called upon by the Drag but would not come to their aid until they gathered food for him. This angered the El'Dren, as Brygaad proved to them that he and his followers were barbaric and hostile. The Drag lands were being ravaged by swarms of the Biel, and just as the El'Dren, the Drag were unsure of where the Biel were coming from so together, they launched a campaign to find the Biel Tek'in Viez's motherland. When the Biel attacked in full force the Drag pulled back, letting the El'Dren be slaughtered.
The Drag'Konin and the Val
The Val were still considered an up and coming race. They settled in lands to the east, far from the forests of the El'Dren and Drag'Konin. The Biel weren't even a thought in their minds as they were still attempting to carve a niche for themselves in the world. They were a flourishing race at the time, just starting the construction of their first city, Temptral. The Drag'Konin were migratory at the time, attempting to escape the sweeping prowess of the Biel Tek'in Viez as they swept over the land like a plague, readily consuming all that waited in their path. Though they'd turned their backs on the El'Dren, they saw something in the Val that was much like them and they stayed to await the approaching onslaught and when it came, it came in full force. Luckily enough, the Val, after heeding the warming of the Drag'Konin leaders, however nomadic and unruly, built their walls of stone and built them tall. The first battles were won with simple tactics; stones and arrows with crude designs that were difficult to remove. The Biel had not brought enough soldiers. The battles were mainly fought by the Val from the keep and attacks were commenced from bulwark and the parapets. The Biel quickly retreated and the Val celebrated as the Drag'Konin said their partings and departed as quickly as they'd come.
Brygaad and his two brothers, Tiamat and Lyroniz, all chose seven maidens of the earlier Val generations and these women all bore children for the Dragon Kings, and in some cases, twins and triplets. These maidens started their own settlement that would allow them to raise their children, tucked away from the prying eyes of the Val. They knew that they would be hated, understood that their way of life would be ridiculed, that their children would be burned and hung for all to see. When they reached adulthood, the twenty-seven children chose their own maidens and they beget children of their own. The grandchildren of the Dragon Kings, unrelated, mated, and from that point on, Val maidens were no longer chosen as the Drag'Konin or, dragon kin, rooted themselves as a complex race. To this day, the Drag'Konin continue to have three leaders at all times. It was believed that this connection is what made the Drag'Konin act the way that they did, fighting alongside the val. This may also be why the Drag'Konin stood beside the Val when the El'Dren attacked.
The Drag'Konin, their voracious hunger for the Punyimpa and the El'Dren En Val: The Drazyll
The El'Dren were the first race to document the existence of the Punyimpa. At first, they were documented as pests but when the El'Dren began to understand the Punyimpas' connection with nature, they became enthralled with them. The Punyimpa were very happy about this because they needed help. The El'Dren had dealt with the Biel for hundreds of years and were ready to protect the Punyimpas from them but they were wrong. The Punyimpas needed to be protected from the Drag'Konin, as they'd obtained a voracious appetite for the tiny people and there seemed to be no cease to their hunger. The El'Dren, after being betrayed by the Drag and then, needing to defend the Punyimpas, they made an effort to banish the Drag'Konin from western lands and they managed to do so.
This marked the beginning of the Dragon Campaign.
The El'Dren were being ravaged by the Biel once again and it seemed that their only allies in the oncoming battles would be the Punyimpas. The Biel were evolving. Some would say that the matter at hand should have been considered as devolution because they were becoming more barbaric, more savage. Their savagery was unheard of and the El'Dren were on their last leg as their villages were pillaged. Their crops were destroyed and their homes were burned to the ground but when the trees began to come alive, the El'Dren and the Biel Tek'in Viez were all confused. This race of tree-like beings was the Drazyll. Towering over the battlefield, the Drazyll trampled the Biel underfoot and managed to buy some time for the El'Dren as they rallied the Punyimpas and made their way to the north in order to find a new home. All three of the races banded together to create a society where they could all live amongst nature and live long, peaceful lives amidst those that shared the same views and way of live.
The Inple
The Inple are cousins to the Draph'il, but unlike the Drag'Konin's relationship with their cousins, the Inple did not enjoy the company of the Draph'il and surely did not care for the company of the El'Dren. Unlike what was to be expected, the Inple did not fight against the El'Dren. For it was true that the Inple cared very little for the lives of the El'Dren. In fact, they stayed as far away as they could because it seemed as if the El'Dren tended to draw the attention of the Bien. The Inple would have done battle if they'd needed to but they really didn't have a reason. They swept far to the south and took their place amidst the largest mountain ranges where the felt comfortable but soon enough, the trials of the world would catch up to them, as the Bien would soon set their eyes on the mountains themselves, wanting the Halimar Mountain Range for their own. The Inple had none to call to their aid and all that they could do was wield mounds of earth and massive slabs of metal. They had no archers and they had no steeds so they were simply overrun by the smaller race. They could bring their foot down upon the head of the average Bien but their numbers were of no means as boisterous. They swept far to the east and then north and this brought them ever closer to the Val. The Drag remained close to the Val. They would not live in their cities but they were always there, trading, laughing, loving. The two races were close, as their ancient familial ties would never been torn away. When the Val finally understood the tyranny of the Biel but attacking them haphazardly was ludicrous to say the least. The Val were finally becoming more organized. Their cities were bustling and their King was becoming a great and powerful ruler but they were filling their streets with too many bodies and it was time to expand. The south was impossible to hold and though there were Val settlements, there was no facade of control, no ruler. The Halimar region was wild but its land and resources were untapped and this did not please the King. He wanted more land for his people. They needed more land. The Inple felt at home with the Val and with the Drag'Konin so they aided them in clearing forests as far to the east as they could until reaching the Brigenheim Ocean. It was said that the Brigenheim Ocean spread so far to the east that it met the western coasts of Retchval, where the Bien had come from.
But then, the Biel returned, riding their Earth Thumpers and unleashing their Crawlerpedes and Plated Slag Wyrms. They came across the lands like flames. With the El'Dren so far to the north, the eastern civilization was unready for the attack. The Inple had become lax in their watch and when the Biel finally attacked, many died. As far to the east as one could go, the Biel had, killing peasants in their huts and kings in their castles but this would not be the end. The Drag'Konin and the Inple raised arms alongside the Val and the mighty allied armies crushed the Biel and their twisted monstrosities. The Biel seemed to be fueled by unwavering hatred. Their were tales of darkness creeping into their blood, rotting away what little heart they had left, consuming their minds and replacing what had been with something twisted and broken. But none were sure. It was all speculation and conjecture when the question of their evils was arisen. They ate all that they could, killed everything they saw and raped what or whoever was left. The Val would not be pushed. They remained to the east, rebuilding their walls even stronger and their arches taller to allow entrance to the Inple. It was time to mount a true offensive. It was also time to call upon the powers of the forestfolk.
The Engineers and the Forestfolk
The Inple found the metals, the Drag'Konin Dragon Callers beckoned drakes of the wind to aid them in transporting the metals and the Val shaped them into mighty weapons. But they were imperfect weapons. What they needed was aid from the Grantz, a race of subterranean miners and blacksmiths that the Inple knew of from the west. Diplomats were sent to find a way to get the Grantz to create mighty weapons to be used against the Biel but they needed the simplest of things; andversandt. The Grantz were magnificent miners but they did not have the ability to mine the legendary andversandt. It was the easiest metal to work and shape but it needed to be heated to extraordinary temperatures. The only place where this was possible was deep under ground where men would not survive. But this was where the Grantz took their vacations. They wanted the metal and the Vals needed weapons made of it. It was a perfect example of synchronicity. These were the bindings of the eastern allies, though utilizing the abilities of people from the west. These are the Engineers.
The El'Dren could launch raids from the crests of the Drazyll and the Punyimpas' ability to bend the elements to their will made the three races a force to be reckoned with. They were an easily moved force, as the El'Dren rode the Drazyll and the small Punyimpas could fly very quickly. The El'Dren intended to be one with nature and the Punyimpas could do with nature as they pleased. These are the Forestfolk.
