The Great Purge

A dark time that began after the Age of Harmony following the Council of the Four Kinds.

Prior to the Purge
The weeks before The Purge there was still unified peace throughout the land, the four races, Orc, Elven, Dwarven and Human met at the Tower of Luna where talks and meetings have been held since time immemorial.

These talks went on for several days before great hostilities arose over the path in which this "one" kingdom would rule their subjects, after a huge refusal of the each other's ways the parties returned home angry, proud and willing to show their claim.

And so started the time known to us now as "The Great Purge" as a fire raged out of control engulfing all it touched.

During the Purge
The Purge raged for some six decades as Elven, Orcish, Human and Dwarven forces clashed over miles of territory and settlements.

During this war the factions brutally raided and pillaged key towns and installations in attempts to gain the upper-hand, often ravaging farm and cattle land too soaked with blood to accept any sort of yield for harvest.

There was a great sadness as this ensued causing many families, officials and even soldiers having to flee south across the Sea of Anima which would become present day Banderos Alliance lands.

The Purge took many lives, lands and prestige of the races at the end leaving only a few towns, facilities  and soldiers to keep the peace in their broken lands.

The End of The Great Purge and The Years That Followed
What finally ended the Purge was the realization on both sides that they were both spent, their men dead, injured or fleeing and their homes so very worn and lost. And in the very Tower that started they war it was ended by the now weary and bitter leaders, vowing to call a ceasefire between their people and trade rights to allow the lands to grow once more.

Now it is present day Exhalodius and fifty years on from that treaty, with the realm starting to recover from the losses of war many officials and members of the factions still hold the old grudges and bitterness deep, remembering the time not too long ago of a realm alit by ideals and the methods in which to get them.
