Continental Chronicles of Novusaes: History of Human Race

The second group of survivors who were much more fortunate than the first group, pioneered a new route. They sailed southeast and finally reached the south of Novusaes. Unlike the north, the southern area was mostly plain, with a pleasant climate, abundant resources and fertile lands. The southern survivors soon adapted to the new environment, building their first town, Gyldan, on the bank of River Polaus, known as the "River of Gold", and thus began their conquest.

The ambition of the southerners for territory and the desire of the northerners for survival led to a centuries-long tug-of-war between them along the boundary. This was the inescapable doom of the continent with the chaos of zealots’ orgy. At the turn of spring and winter in 1096, the power of the empire passed from the emperor to the pope, and divine authority took hold of the south. In the summer of 1099, the pope set fire of war to the boundary between north and south, and the rumors of "purge of faith" was spread among beggars, commoners and nobles. The wisdom of the so-called "god" and the forbidden power twisted the bodies and souls of soldiers. The orgy of the faithful signified the end of the continent, and the war left Novusaes riddled with scars.

The four kingdoms of the northern continent of Novuseas had been at war for centuries: the oldest Kingdom of Arere, the Kingdom of Baraigne in the far north, the Kingdom of Islette surrounded by two mountains, and the relatively richest Kingdom of Nortouahe. Of these, the elves and orcs shared the rule of Nortouahe, while the remaining three kingdoms were all dominated by humans. The borders of the four kingdoms were intertwined, and there were constant conflicts and wars between them over resources and territory. But for some geographical and historical reasons, these four countries maintained a delicate balance.
