The world of Kaelsaern was a wonderful place, the entire world resembling much of the landscape of New Zealand. Most of the land had mountains with snow-capped tops, reflecting the beauty and hidden dangers that they perceive. With most of the land being built of mountains, the rest of the land was divided by vast forests, expansive plains and arid deserts, with each place having habitats to both beings and creatures alike, striving for survival in the world. The world was, like Earth, encased by vast bodies of water, divided into three oceans, the Karlea Ocean, Articia Ocean and Tropacia Ocean.

It was a home to both the mortal races, such as the humans and the longer living dwarves, and the immortal races, like the elves and the Elcaar. All of the races knew about the existence of the Elcaar, the humanoids that resembled reptilian deer. During their time together, their trust amongst each other had started to divide, with everyone hating each other for various reasons. Finally, in the year 1470, an Elcaar had accidentally killed a member of each of the races, with the sparking several disputes between who had killed them. In the end, diplomacy crumbled, and war began. For years, the war between the four mighty races have raged on, the butcher's list has been growing at an exponential rate. The elves, dwarves and the Elcaar were the most hit races, with the human's gestation and aging period being shorter than the others. The Elcaar had been hit the hardest, with the duration of their pregnancies to last about 5-6 years.

However, during the years 1500-1520, the three races that we knew of formed an uneasy truce, with the human race at the head of the alliance. As soon as they formed an alliance, they soon realized that it was the Elcaar that had started the war that had claimed so many lives, killing a member of each race. Together, they had fought the threat that had taken the form of the Elcaar. With their numbers dwindling, the entire race turned to their closest cousins, the dragons, and asked for help. At first, they had denied aid to the dying race. With nowhere to turn, the Elcaar simply ran into the deepest regions of the Everance Mountains. With the paths across the region being treacherous, some of the Elcaar had perished. Unlike the other races, they can withstand the harsh elements of the mountains.

When they received the news of the dying race's daring trek across the mountains, the 'allied' races took pursuit of them. Out of all of the armies that had been sent to finish off the job, none had ever returned. For now, the Elcaar had secured a place that they now named 'Eldæren', meaning home in Elcaarian. With no enemies that can get to them, they began to spread out across the region, gathering their dwindling numbers. Unknown to them, their cousins watched from the highest peaks, protecting them from further harm against the dangerous alliance, who tried everything to get to the elusive Elcaar.

It wasn't until 3015 when the alliance finally reached to the outskirts of Eldæren, killing all that was reptilian. When news reached his ears, the king of the Elcaar, Elduvarien, started a longing retreat into the heart of the realm, where the temperatures of the caverns was so hot, anything that wasn't resistant to the heat would be vaporized. Unfortunately, scouts from the Alliance had intercepted one of the messengers, and began their march on the heart of the Elcaar . When they thought that they were safe from the alliance, the Elcaar were ambushed, with their numbers cut down until there were less than 100 of them left. However, the onslaught was witnessed by the ancient reptiles, and decided to act.

With the outcome of the Elcaar lost in the sands of time and the dragon's interference of the battle, this had started the 3 Millennium War. Just as everyone thought that the butcher's bill was going to halt, it grew dramatically, with dragons added to it. With the war going on around them, the Elves numbers were depleted to near nothing, causing them to retreat from the war. It was the same thing with the dwarves, who rarely leave their mountainous homes. In the end, both the elves and the dwarves went into hiding, never to be seen on the world again. Soon, it was just the humans vs. dragons, both of them able to fight each other with vast amounts of numbers.

During the three millenniums that the war lasted, the dragons had an upper advantage over the humans, with the ability to breath fire and have hardened scales. During the dark times, the humans have tried everything to fight back the reptiles, but to no avail. Eventually, one man had found a way to fight them back and allow them to have the advantage. In the year 5320, the plan was executed, sending thousands of troops to the nesting ground of the dragons. Even though the armies were destroyed by the mothers of the dragons, the damage was done. Over 30,000 eggs were destroyed and nearly all of the mothers in each nesting ground was slain. During the years after the cowardly attack, the number of dragons that were alive declined rapidly, with most of them mourning for the loss of their unborn children.

However, a new hope was emerging…

When the new millennium turned for the war, a small band of humans, led by the noble Galcian Kyte, marched into the heart of the dragon kingdom, where there were a few challenges by the dwindling dragons. At the centre of the dragon homeland, Galcian had met the Dragon King, Wrothgart. Unlike the many men that had challenged the ancient lizard, the human simply asked for peace, with his king allowing a truce to be made between the two battle-worn races. Unlike the kings that had ruled before him, who just simply ate the human diplomats, Wrothgart had accepted the truce, bringing an era of peace for the future. Before Galcian left to tell the news of the truce being accepted, the Dragon King told him that, unlike the heartless men that had killed the unborn so many years ago, he had a rare courage that no man could ever own. In offering for the truce, the lizard offered that the humans and dragons were to form an alliance, with a small, yet powerful, group that would vanquish any evil that wrought the land.

As the king of the humans agreed to this, that group was formed. In the year 6015, a band of dragon riders, known simply as The Dragon Saints, was born. They purged the evil that the 3 Millennium War left behind after the truce. For several years, the Saints had brought justice that any evil dragons and humans had left behind. Finally, peace was introduced in Kaelsaern in 6050, with the Dragon Saints going into hiding, waiting for the peace to be threatened by evil once more.

But this peace didn't last forever…

Year 7089, the peace was being disturbed. This time, the face of this evil was simply known as the Eye of the Apocalypse, lead by a vile man called the Pharaoh. For the past 3 years, the region of Eregoel was being tainted by this evil. Now, it was a desolate region, containing evil and death. As the Eye started to spread in Kaelsaern, with the Pharaoh's Pariah leading the army, the world turns towards the elusive Dragon Saints, wanting them to purge this evil once and for all.


Alright, since the background story has been done, here are the rules to the RP;

-All of the rules for Dragon RP's apply here, so no G-Mod, PPing, etc
-No cussing. It is unnecessary.
-Violence is allowed, but no detailed description. For example (and yes, I am using my name in the example);

Quote:
 
Sam cut the orc's head off, the blood gushing out of the arteries. The head rolls, giving him the dreary look of death. The blood flew into the air and slashed all over Sam's body.


I don't want any children having horrible nightmares for the rest of their lives.
-Romance is allowed, just, don't go into detail.
-The minimum sentences allowed per post is 7 detailed sentences.
-OOC chat should be double brackets, e.g.
-This is an RP based around the medieval era, so no guns, rifles, chain swords or any of that jazz of the present/future.
-The maximum amount of dragons that you can have is 3. However, I am willing to allow any dragons that you may own in your Dragon Cave scrolls
-If there are any newcomers to the RP, check to see if there is a balance between the two sides. If is unbalanced by 3 character, you have to join the other side.
-Maximum of 2 characters
