== Born of the Kingdoms ==
Time passed and everything began to return to normal. Monsters, which had previously lived there, were killed or banished to the cold areas near the mountains. Cities were built, and of course a war was waged between Elves and Dark Elves. At times, its a bit crowded here in Icesus you see, since survivors from all over Aegic had moved here, and the Elves (the original owners) were quite unhappy with having to share a valley with their mortal enemies, the Dark Elves. Needless to say, the Dark Elves weren't too happy either. As creatures with long lifespan however, they didn't really want to die, as each death was considered 'a horrible loss to the universe', so in the end it was really just the Humans fighting the Orcs. The Humans won and demanded the prize that was promised to them - power, but the Elves and the Dwarves weren't eager to share. After the war most of the Dark Elves were banished, kept outside the newborn kingdom of Valkor, the Orcs on the other hand were allowed to live in [[vaerlon|Vaerlon]], the capital of [[valkor|Valkor]] with some restrictions. Although, some of the more 'established' citizens weren't too happy with this arrangement. To keep things under control, the council didn't put an end to martial law, using rumors about Human Rebellion to keep the population under control.

So here we are now, Elves and Dwarves, with their constant bickering and infighting, inside Vaerlon to the west. Dark Elves with their plans for revenge, in the city of [[graemor|Graemor]] to the northeast. [[atherton|Atherton]] to the north, with all kinds of friendly, but independant, folks and Teladan in the middle of the valley, surrounded by the integral farms that feed everyone. Things seem peaceful for now; people enjoy everything from fishing and swimming, to studying the art of magic that was, at first, considered lost, when the god of Magic died. All seems well for the average people, but there's something in the air, something that makes the rulers of the new kingdoms gather armies, something that drives merchants to hire guards and raise prices. I fear the horrors of Ice will soon be forgotten, as something even more horrible descends upon the valley...
