History

OK, I have missed a few days posting, I am trying to get this game planned out. For several weeks this blog will probably not get daily updates. Any how, here is the history behind my upcoming game.

The Shree were an ancient culture of unknown origin. Unlike humans who are carbon based, the shree are purely water based. They have no initial form so they usually take on a similar likeness to the creatures around them, they said it made social acceptance a much smoother process. It wasn't long until the humans and the shree forged a common bond and worked together.

As time passed, a long drought took the land, and both shree and human life were in danger. The shree needed fresh water to lay their eggs, and the humans just needed fresh water. An idea was suggested and work began. A plan to turn salt water into fresh water and channel it inland.

Much of the land near the sea had been reduced to dessert, so the first part of the plan was simple. They needed a shallow flow of water downward for several miles in order to sift out some of the salt. This area soon became known as the Dead Flats. An army of humans gave their lives in the process of digging this massive shallow river.

While the humans were working on the river, the shree were busy constructing an underground cavern. The cavern was covered in an undead organism much like coral. The coral would quite literally eat the salt out of the water. The water would then flow through various caverns until it landed in one of many hot pockets, in which the water was heated and shot to the surface. Together they had saved the land, but something did not feel right.

Things changed. Gem stones would now fuse with their wielders giving them power to manipulate matter it self. The shree had spoken of this before, but humans had lacked the capability, until now. And now that the quest for water was over, the quest for power soon began.

Mining sites cropped up all over. Huge gem stone rushes and clan wars were breaking out everywhere. The shree along with several human clans were forced to play the part of the peace keeper, but not with much success. Two civilizations were forged and immediately went into war with the powers of the gem stones before them. The Western Civilization was beginning to crumble when an unknown wizard showed up with a solution derived from some very special stones none had seen before. These stones proved powerful, and the East was soon crushed. But that was only the beginning.

The wizard had discovered that fresh water shree eggs would crystallize when salt was introduced to their water source, making powerful new gems called coral stones. He had ordered shree eggs stolen from their nests and brought to his lab for processing. This angered the shree and another war broke out. The shree fought only long enough to reclaim all of the coral stones, and with the help of a small group of people led by a young woman named Aeges, they forged a new realm and sealed themselves away from the humans. They did however leave a key, Aeges Song. Only Aeges singing this song could break the seal to the realm of the shree.

When the wizard heard of this, he devised a plan. He tricked Aeges and her husband into entering a dimension he had created for the sake of preserving their lives for all time. Upon entering Aeges was turned to evil and her husband was left trapped there for all eternity. The wizard wisped Aeges away to the sealed gate, but her song failed to open the gate. When the wizard corrupted Aeges, the song was corrupted along with her. She nor the wizard were ever heard from again.
