When Chaos entered Unvail after the Khar, the world had changed. It was not only revived volcanoes and Gates, who's power have been changing ground around it, turning forests and valleys of Glennytir into waste grounds powdered by ashes... the air had changed, water had changed, opening of the Gates echoed in minds and bodies of all living creatures of Aivail, leaving its trace in their blood.

Strange and alien trace.

They were called Children of Invasion... they have been bearing during all 49 years of Invasion Wars, and sometimes after it, they have been bearing in ordinary orcish, human and gnomish families. They were different, with the stamp of Chaos, so obvious, as if their parents were broods of Underworlds.

They have been bearing and dying. By hands of their parents, from white fire of Inquisitors, from hunger and cold... those who survived were doomed to always be alone. They were traveling alone, those who suffered from persecution, who killed hunters - with small groups, later with bands on the territory of Empire and in foothills at the edge of Great Steppe... they learnt how to fight, how to hide, and use power given by their curse.

Or may be their Gift?

Their unification was just a question of time. 37 years after the beginning of Invasion, two armies of demonids met at the River of Tears, in the forest, powdered with ashes. One army cut it's way from the west, through barriers of Inquisition and imperial troops; the second one, going through Great Steppe and forest left by elves. Their leaders - Holorann from Dartholm and Ragtor the Fire Axe, were looking one at another for very long before shook their hands.

They looked like brothers, as if one of them was not a human and another one was not a child of orcish family.

They were of the same blood.

Downhill Throne had seen many different things. It remembers falls and civil wars, battles in caves and in narrow tunnels, where gnome fought the gnome and runic magic smelted the stone and poisoned the mind; it remembers underground empire built by masters of dragons, who's will bended cruel fire-spitting creatures, living ones and dead ones; it remembers centuries of decline and separation of small gnomish clans, slowly dying in isolation.

Gnomish Downhill Throne is also called Second Throne. You better don't ask about the First one - gnomes don't like to talk about their past, about their old capital buried under the Moundhammer - huge mountain peak in the north of mountain ridge Karraig.

They don't like to talk - but still remember.

History of the Second Throne - is the story of Phoenix, story of how remains of once great race rise again from ashes and oblivion.

This also the story of one man... well, one gnome.

King of gnomes, Alvin the Stone-hearted, Alvin the Merciless, Alvin-With-Human-name. The king who during less than a century succeeded to unite eighteen downhill clans and give start to a new great country of gnomes.

However surprising it may seem, humans combine tolerance and intolerance - when majority of them treat other races kindly, some individuals even hate representatives of their own species, if they differ from them by color of skin or shape of eyes.

Human church hates and persecutes children of Invasion - demonids, but educated humans and representatives of other religions treat them normally.

When average human if smaller than average orc, orcs are much more susceptible to alcohol. Human can easily drink more than orc, it is harder for them to drink more than elves, and impossible to drink more than gnomes.

Majority of humans, whoever they are - townsman, students or grandees - don't like Thorns - secret service of Empire. Humans are afraid of them and hate them in the same time; their enmity with church order of All-seeing Eye became a legend.

Human culture is very diverse. It is it's key property, so it is reflected in everything - number of languages in which humans write poems and sing songs; different styles used in architecture of different human nations; thousands of various articles of trade and works of art brought from all ends of the world to Empire's markets. Human life is short, so they hurry to live and, sometimes, they during two years can do much more than representative of other race during a dozen of years. They hurry to have fun and amuse themselves, they don't know temperance in their desires, they often make mistakes, and never learn by their own mistakes - but majority of them live full and rich life.

Humans learn easily and easily get accustomed to representatives of other races... one can meet orcs, gnomes and elves on the streets of human cities. Human culture has many adoptions from other cultures - elven language and orcish martial art, technologies of gnomes and goblins, elven poetry and magic - this is not full list of what humans studied during last one and a half thousand years.

Human cities - are boiling up kettles, great works of art and horrible crimes are born there; life adjoin death there, beauty adjoin ugliness - they are as changeable and inconstant as humans are. Arcspire - is the biggest city, capital of Empire, city of hundred gates and thousand castles - center of human world.

Humans bow to different gods, but only one of them has real power and worthy to be considered intently - God of Light, whose church is official church of Empire, and - its heaviest weapon.

Unlike, for example, elven church, who rules over the state, human church serves to Emperor and his interests, supporting armies with its powerful magic.

God of Light is the most mysterious god, he's remote from everything concerned with humans, and only selected ones are able to understand his motives. To communicate with their god, human priests use special science of signs and numbers, allowing to direct his power as necessary. This science, giving great power to church members, known in other nations as Magic of Light - because it has formal similarity with other human magic schools. It's easy to explain this similarity as many hundreds of years imperial mages are under control of the Church and make their experiments and investigations only according to its instructions. The last free magic enclave of Empire - Rainbow valley - fell under pressure of undead more than two hundred years ago, in the very beginning of Great Invasion.

Human magic is one of the most flexible and powerful magic arts of Aivail. Human mages as a rule are not specialized on one magic school; they have knowledge of several school, but not so deep. For several hundreds of years Silverhill - city at the Gates of Thunder - is the magic capital the Empire. All mages in Empire must be registered by Inquisition, so they are under its private supervision. Majority of magic practices are allowed, but some types of magic art - as necromancy - are strictly prohibited by Church. Some places where human mages can study prohibited practices are called Enclaves of free mages... majority of them situated far from territories controlled by Inquisition. Of course, there are exclusions in all rules - for example court necromancer of emperor Julius 3, Holy Ortega, who lived and worked at court.

The most active wing of the Church, persecuting heretics and participating in all military conflicts, is Holy Inquisition. There are different orders in it, each of them has its own specialization. For example, Order of Moon Blade searches for necromancers and fights with undead; Order of Flaming Fist - controls teaching of mages and controls them; Order of All-seeing Eye deals with internal investigations in the Church, searching for heretics among priests.

Modern Empire of humans has three hundreds years. Eight ruling dynasties were changed during this time, and also there were lots of revolts and internal conflicts, peculiar to human race. Capital of the Empire had changed its location for three times, every time rising in new place and stating its glory as the biggest city of the Empire and the whole world.

Emperor and Emperor's Council - combined from high aristocracy, rule the biggest state of humans, and Church helps them. During all the years roles of the Council and the Emperor have been changing several times: there were Emperors-marionettes controlled by magnates and favorites; there were tyrants who always get what they want; there were wise and kind monarchs, trying to correct mistakes of their predecessors... persons have been replaced one another, but Empire stayed.

Today's policy of Empire is permanent - active trade, pipe laying, joining of new lands and word of God of Light, brought to other races on blades of imperial guard - nothing's new. But today many forces of Empire are directed to keep existing territories, and to get back territories lost after the Invasion.

Empire is composed from nine prefectures; heads are appointed and removed by the Emperor. Prefect has full authority in the region, except military authority - Imperial Generals command troops of imperial guard, there are nine of them, and they also report to the Emperor directly.

Secret service of Empire is the most numerous; it has good agents system all over the world. Sloe is the symbol of the service, so majority of empirers just call them - Thorns. In prefectures secret service is represented by Imperial Observers, overseeing Prefects and Generals, and, if necessary, removing them.

There are other human states except the Empire, slipped from its influence - Sultarim, Shin-Thao, Hai-Samira, and independent principalities of the north. Fragile balance between them and the Empire is insubstantial, ... prospering trade - today, bloody war - tomorrow.

The most widespread and simultaneously, most mysterious race... no one really knows where they come from, in the same time they look like elves, orcs and even gnomes. Humans don't stop to surprise all other races by their main feature - adaptability. Human race is very various - it has tall white-skinned northerners withstanding cold easily; swarthy dark-haired empirers - unsurpassed traders and seafarer; stumpy yellow-skinned inhabitants of east reared many great mages; and, finally, dark-skinned southerners hiding their faces with linen masks and covering their bodies with tattoos. There are suppositions that humans are different humanoid races with the same name, and these suppositions are worthy to be examined, especially, in the view of their dissociation - after all, they even surpass orcs in quantity of internal conflicts.\

Human race is divided into many states and conflicts between them are the biggest part of human history. Sometimes, one of these states succeed to get advantage over the other, expand its territory and find stability - so as to fall, break apart into many pieces and fight in inevitable fratricidal war. Human life is not long, so human empires are not long-lived too - dozen of them can replace one another during one elven era. The last of them, created by one of the southern nations, for now consolidates great human territories for three hundred years.

Favorite elven story - about loving couple from Houses which were at enmity with each other. There are at least thirty variants of this story told by different famous bards.

Famous elven bows could be very popular, but they have several «buts»: first, such bow is a living creature grown by elves as a single whole and unable to live without its owner more than one month; second, it is restricted to sell these bows on penalty of death, and any stranger with such weapon can get arrow in his eye from the first elf he met.

Human attitude to nature is disgusting for eleves enough to provoke a lot of conflicts. It is very unpleasant for elves to look on human wooden buildings, they even can't enter those buildings... so, those who travel through human lands prefer to stay in the open air at night.


 

Elves don't like fire. They almost don't use it - well, may be for cooking, but as lights they prefer magic fires. Even in the time of war they prefer not to use it as weapon... to destroy buildings and fortifications they use magic and seeds of plants able to grow through the hardest stone and take to pieces any human fort in a few hours.

Elves don't cultivate the land. Until the humans came, they didn't know what is wheat or corn, and even knowing they don't want to grow it. Human cereals are very popular among elves and it is one of the main products exported by Empire to Glennytir.

Elves

The oldest nation of the world, elves don't like strangers to know their history. They say that there are records written on eternal silk more than fifteen thousand years ago, and kept in royal archives deep under the Holy Forest... written in times when there were no orcs, gnomes and humans in this world, when ancient elven kingdom have been occupied the most part of the continent and elven cities where now we can see orcish marquees and human cities.

Elven history tells us about Great War with Ancients - precursors race, defeated by elves and disappeared. Also history tells about the Split - war of elves against elves, for the reasons they don't like to talk about. We still don't know who was the winner, but we know results of this war - great elven kingdom ceased to exist, modern state is just a shadow of the past one.

Elves have only one god... well, at least we can't see other gods in their known history. Great Tree they bow to, formally is not eternal - approximately every two thousand years it dies leaving small sprout. Death and birth of the new Tree is the symbol of new elven era - at the moment, holy history describes nine eras.



 

It looks like elven life is very measured and composed, but only for inexperienced observer - they fall in love, they hate, made mistakes and suffer as all other intelligent creatures.

Elves are ruled by High Priestess Queen. It looks like the title of queen is a reminder of those times when church has served to elven kings; the last royal dynasty stopped suddenly more than six thousand years ago, since those times, the title of queen goes to one High priestess from another by approbation of Council of Houses.

It is possible that this way of government was accepted by elves to prevent war between Houses - ancient elven clans - basis of elven society. There are seven great Houses in country of wood elves, their heads are members of the Council, also, there are more than twenty Minor Houses, and struggle between them is the basis of elven internal policy. Humans would have bloody civil war in this situation, but enlightened elves resolve conflicts in other way - their wars are hidden from stranger's eye. History knows twelve Great Houses ceased to exist by different reasons - most of all as a result of their heads death. This way of conflicts resolving is the best for nature of ancient nation, as this nation prefers maximum outcome at minimum cost. The art of intrigue and deceive is very developed among elves, as developed the art of assassins - members of ancient order serving to Houses, and receiving the most difficult missions - murders of politicians, kidnapping and blackmail. Assassins are not numerous but ancient martial traditions and long-term training makes them really dangerous enemies.

Elves always reject war between Houses, and rare deaths of Houses heads and great warriors are explained as natural deaths.

Elven Queen is above the conflicts of Houses and sometimes serve as arbiter in their disputes. Her status of High Priestess guarantees her inviolability and immunity from jurisdiction - as elven High Priestess are selected by Great Tree itself.

Elven church contains three mutually dependent orders, each of them is charged with different aspects of elven society.

Unicorn Order combines priestesses of the Great Tree. It is Unicorn Order from where Great and High Priestess are originating, as the most powerful elven mages. Young girls from all Houses and classes are selected to this order, it's convents and holy groves are very widespread on the territories of elven kingdom. Except healers and foretellers, the Order trains Holy Virgins, which excellence in battle is well worth human paladins. Priestesses of the Order are judges and councilors in all elven Houses.

Order of Griffin is man's order, combining all priests of Holy Tree. Their communities, as a rule, are at the distance from big elven villages, their interests lie in the area of deep studying of magic, nature and history. Some druids of the Order are able to control magic of elements, as a rule unavailable for priestesses; they also can change their physical form at their will, transforming into beasts and other powerful beings. Arch Druid represents the Order in Council of Houses, also majority of elven annalists and teachers belong to the Order of Griffin.

Third order in elven church, being formally separate from Unicorn Order, nevertheless is completely submitted to the High Priestess. Order of Keepers is her personal army, band of elite assassins defending interests of Great priestesses and queen herself. Majority of it's warriors are veterans of many battles deserved the honor to join the Order and to rule sway the destinies of all kingdom.

Elven culture is the most developed culture of the world, somehow or other, influencing any other developing culture. Elven bards, musicians and artists are known as the best in the world, and only a few humans can compare to them.

Elves never deal with agriculture; their relations with nature allow them to speak with plants directly, «persuading» them to grow in necessary direction and bear fruits. All elven cities and villages are combined from living trees, shaped in necessary form; those trees are a single whole with surrounding forest. Being born hunters and pathfinders, elves never hunt to have a good time - in environs of their cities there's always enough wild fowl to feed population of the city.

Elves trade actively, exchanging silk, works of arts and magic ingredients for weapon and precious jewels of gnomes; wine and cereals of humans; and spicery of demonids.

Some facts about orcs

 

Orcs

 

Aivail

Orcs call it Hri-Hoar, Steppe, surrounded by seas and mountains, floating in great emptiness under weariless eye of Father of Ravens.

Gnomes call it the Rock - Rham, opposite to heaven with shining stones - stars, and hot fireplace of the Sun in it.

Aivail o'Emielle - "place of forests and plains" - that's how elves call it, they were the first who set foot on this land.

Aivail - that's how first humans knowing Elder Language called it.

So many names for one world that became home for everyone.

It's sands absorbed blood of thousands of warriors. It's winds fanned fires, and rains extinguished them, races have been dying under it's skies.

Aivail - world of heroes

It is 169th year Ninth epoch, 1258th year since the Day of Advent by human calendar, and 3432th year according to holy books of gnomes.

Time of peace

Unexpected and long-awaited for many creatures.

Human empire lost more than one third of its territory in the east after the Wars of Invasion, now it is thrown back to its old borders - Gates of Thunder and the Great Wall. Many human settlements now are beyond it's bounds, on unlawful territories, in lands of elves and orcs. Raids of imperial armies called to protect the settlements often turn into large-scale armed conflicts with orcs, demonids and even elves - but these conflicts never develop into permanent warfare.

After the defeat inflicted on orcs in famous Battle on the Plain, at Ludien Emielle, elves grow roots in Glennitir again. Their country is now twice smaller that it was before - all their territories in the south, behind the River of Tears, went to demonids and became the part of Black Glennitir. However, elves, after their recent come back to Aivail, are still not numerous to carry out conquests; their forests, being empty for such a long time, require special attention.

Orcish clans live their usual way of life… today, when almost one hundred years are gone after the death of Rakgul the Destroyer, only memory remains from orcish united country. Each clan, as in ancient times, performs its own policy and looks for its own enemies. Some of them selected human settlements on the borders of Empire as their target, they trade with demonids. Some of them still make plundering raids on elves; and some of them - sell their skills to those who pays better… to gnomes and humans as a rule.

For the first time after many centuries gnomes have united kingdom. Alvin the Stonehearted united eighteen biggest gnomish clans under the power of Downhill throne, and annihilated all other clans. For the first time in many long years gnomes performed territorial expansion, they returned to their deserted settlements in Karraig mountain range. They also make armed raids to orcish steppes, to oilfields and ore deposits.
