The tale
“As evil has been put to rest. It will sleep until it is time for it to awaken once again. Then it will gather its strength and be stronger, wiser, and more dangerous than it was before. Beware … and never turn a blind eye to it, for it will emerge once again when it is least expected.”: Isolde”- The “White Witch”-, speaking to the monarchy of the 5 kingdoms after the defeat of Abaddon.
It’s been Two thousand seasons since the final battle of the war of the 4th Age has occurred, which ended the final conflict against the Demon Abaddon and his minions. As this battle which turned the Great Plains adjoining the Dark Tower red with the blood of Tehran’s, Centaurs, Warrows and the beasts of Evil’s army. Isolde, the White Witch, through her divine magic annihilated the demon who sat on the left-hand side of Evil, ending his reign of terror, and scattering what was left of his rag tag army throughout the supercontinent.
This in turn, ended the 4th Age of Pangea.
As the 5th Age of Pangea is ushered in, peace has settled throughout the world as Galgaliel and his squad of Centaurs, along with Turak, Philo, the two Warrow warriors, and Amolo the Wiki scout, who have accompanied the behemoths. They have tracked down and extinguished many of the Malakai and Neanderthals that have fought against them in the final battle. Thus, what the Centaurs may have missed in their quest to rid the world of EVIL’S minions, many of whom who have escaped their grasp, as many were killed and eaten by the countless beasts which dominate the wilds throughout the supercontinent.
Now that the Great War has ended the three Tehran Kingdoms, along with the two Warrow tribes and a Band of Centaurs from the Centaur city of Frostford which is now been recognized as the 6th kingdom. Together they have each assigned their best and most courageous warriors, which make up a combined force to monitor the comings and goings in and around the Dark Forest. This force is based out of the Tehran fortress of Ravens Rock, which is part of King Galen’s kingdom on the border of the Dark Forest. Regular patrols monitoring the border of the Dark Forest are now part of their daily routine. This is to assure that if any part of “EVIL” stirs once again, the kingdoms can react with a much swifter response.
Heeding the words of Isolde ……. “That the Dark Forest is still, and will always be, the domain of EVIL itself. For the darkness it transcends will always dictate its will over the life forms that call this thick woodland of torment home …. So, it shall be written …
The solitude of peace in the aftermath of war
As the Season of Awakening slowly gives way to the Season of Summer. The change of periods warms the surrounding air and the ground below one’s feet. The seeds planted after the long frost of winter that is now behind them are left to germinate, sprout, and bring forth new life. All these seedlings which when ripened will feed many an inhabitant of the varied species throughout the supercontinent. As of now the Season of Awakening brings forth the gentile rains which feed the seedlings, which brings forth new births, as well as cleanses the air throughout all the realms. It has been 2000 seasons of peace. Because of this, many species have thrived and expanded their range, as well as having had the opportunity to increase their populations tenfold.
In the Warrow cities of Wildwind and Southold, many new levels of housing have been constructed upon the thick branches of the Giant Redwood Trees. As this was to accommodate the expanding population of life after the Great War. For as peace and solitude allows families to expand. While the Tehran kingdoms have concentrated on the mining of gems and gold, as the Tehran’s can direct their enslaved dwarf populations to do their bidding, as the can now mine without the distractions of a lingering war hanging over their heads.
The Guardians have slowly healed the land, sea, and air, to where they were before the 2nd Great War. But this has also led to an increase in the populations of the many predators that roam throughout the supercontinent, making it a more perilous place to survive, especially throughout the vast wilderness that encompasses much of the supercontinent. The size of the herds of the giant Tyrannosauruses have seemed to have doubled in size, as well as the giant serpents which thrive in the Wildwood, as well as the rest of the supercontinent during the Season of Summer. It appears that they have been invading both Warrow cities more frequently in their quest for food. The kings having concerns of the possibility of attacks from the predators have tripled the guards that protect the two cities, as both tribes are now on high alert throughout the warmer weather. The Plains have also become more abundant with Bison and Elk as their ranges have expanded in this time of peace. Even with multitudes of predators roaming the supercontinent the many species who have been preyed upon have increased their populations. But it is the Centaurs who have benefited the most. Now that the storm that lingered just below the peaks of the Black Mountain range since the beginning of time has dissipated after the annihilation of Abaddon. For the dwarf sun has finally brought forth its scarlet hue and warmth to the peaks of the Black mountains, thus, allowing the half horse-half man species of Frostford to feel the warmth of its scarlet rays for the first time in Pangean history. This new change allows the Centaurs to grow their own food. For that is something they have never been able to do before throughout their history. As peace as reigned for 2 millennia now, one wonders how long it will last.
for one thing is assured ……... nothing lasts forever.
