Gyronderian Era

Gyronderian Era
The age where humans have populated Gyronderia, the main continent of Axorath. The development of humans as a civilization occured during this time period, but the threat of a great evil still remains.

Story
After the Great Purge, the Fae hid within the Emerald Forest and left the humans as the prevalent race in the continent. Gyron, the first leader of the humans became the first king of the land. The Kingdom of Gyronderia was created soon after in honor of him, signalling the beginning of the human civilization. Year 1 started off as humans create small settlements around the continent.

Year 134, and Gyron II ruled the kingdom. It was during this time that the first of the shadow creatures called the Malekites, appeared and terrorized the human settlements in the southern region.

Malekites
These shadow creatures are beings corrupted by the essence of Malek, a powerful Shimian Mage that was sent hundred of years ago to destroy the Ancient Races. A being so strong that he cannot be killed, so he was instead imprisoned deep beneath the earth. Malek was trappend in a sphere of pure energy that has protective seals that prevented him from breaking out. Still, his essence reeked from his prison and corrupted the earth above him. Living creatures are also corrupted, twisting their forms to those akin to Shimians. These Malekites now seek to wipe out the entire human civilization in search of a way to free Malek and finish what he started.

The Battle at Viridian Plains
The humans fought against the Malekites but were severely overpowered. Finally, Gyron II decided to create an army led by his children, Davion, Ygdrasil, Medea, Azul, and Penel. Calling themselves the Imperial Army, these inexperienced solidiers somehow repelled the advancing Malekites. The children of Gyron II fought bravely and led the human army to victory at the Battle at Viridian Plains.

The Great Houses
The Imperial Army returned bringing high hopes with them, and the people of the kingdom recognized them. Gyron II was immensely happy that he created five main families, or houses, in honor of his children. It was at that moment that the whole kingdom was divided into five houses: House Davion, House Ygdrasil, House Medea, House Azul, and House Penel.

A New King
Year 172 when Gyron II passed away and his son, Davion, succeeded him.
