(* It was only a matter of time before you were Captivated
In a land of great fame and fortune, Ardaris stood tall and united. The great continent was inhabited and ruled by a tetrarchy, or ruled by four separate kingdoms. And in inside those kingdoms, the races lived in harmony with each other. From fairies to dragons, there virtually no racism, no crime… no hate… no pain. Everyone was calm and at peace. There was no need for much security as the kingdoms all got along pretty well and everyone seemed to prosper, even those who had nothing became something after a while.
That was until the wind kingdom’s queen died.
It all changed suddenly. The inhabitants of the wind kingdom suddenly became aggressive and destructive. They invaded the earth kingdom and pillaged the villages. This in turn made the earth kingdom fill itself with hatred and spite and began discriminating any outsiders. The water and fire kingdom remained in alliance with each other, and desperately tried to quell the other two kingdoms aggression but to no avail. Soon the conflict began to spread to all kingdoms and then the continent of Ardaris fell into a dark age.
There was no more trust with in individuals. Everyone suspected everyone… soon discrimination escalated racism and racism escalated to genocide. Dragon and other mythical creatures began to become endangered but many still remained hidden and well guarded. Humans became a dominating and submissive race… and soon slavery became dominant. With it a new era of captivated creatures from nekos and dragons and fairies and even the powerful vampires became slaves and masters.
The kingdoms now had no ties with each other and each fended for itself. At the heart of Ardaris lay Mirror Villa, a town that remained neutral. It became a central hub for all trading, from food to slaves, and from maid service to fulfillment of sexual desires. There was no end to this trade. Though it was a dark age, people did prosper and live comfortably but with pure hate to wards the other races. Years became decades, and decades became centuries. With no two kingdoms working together, the continent remained underdeveloped and it didn’t seem like anything was going to progress at all.
Now… what path will you choose… Will you embrace the dark ages are try to relinquish Ardaris from them?
