A world by the name of Euroshen. In Anciesity it means, "Provider". It's a world so dark and unexplored, not even The Ancients have walked every corner. The Ancients were the first to walk on Euroshen and discovered many things. Of Euroshen, there were six continents. Middle Euroshen, Eastern Euroshen, Western Euroshen, Anciesityland, Turnbuk, and the Christensia Euro Islands. These continents were all named by the Ancients, who set foot on every continent to behold what was long forgotten. They called the largest section of the land Euroshen, at first. After exploring it more and more for hundreds of years, they separated it into three sections, Western Euroshen, being the further west section, Middle Euroshen, being the most center of them, and Eastern Euroshen, the most east of them. Anciesityland was where the very first Ancients appeared, so they named it appropriately after their language, Anciesity. Turnbuk is a massive piece of land south of Eastern Euroshen, the Ancients sent over 200 exploring groups to try and map it. Each one died, which gave it the name Turnbuk or "Turn back". They never set foot on Turnbuk since, only knew it existed. Finally, the Christensia Euro Islands. The final place the Ancients found. Two large islands side by side that held exotic and fruitful places. Its founder, named Christensia, named it after herself and the Euro, or the "King" in Anciesity, who during the time was named Isle, thus giving it the name Island.
The Ancients lived for thousands of years, but suddenly nearly all of them died off. A single mysterious manuscript, from an unknown author, explains what happened. Now all that was left was a small band of Ancients, the Dandi, who, over hundreds of years, had repopulated Euroshen, and made three clans. Now humans only existed on Middle Euroshen, and only the Ancient's manuscripts they left behind tell of the other continents. An entire history civilization, lost.
After the death of the Ancients, the time of the world was lost and restarted. In the first century of what the Wanmei call, the "Beginning Period", Middle Euroshen belonged three clans that were called the Tri-Clans. The Sambi, the Dandi, and the Humbi. Sambi meaning "War". Dandi meaning "Truth", and Humbi meaning "Peace and Prosperity". The clans lived together as equals and only ever occasionally got caught in a conflict.
They say these were the only three human groups to exist on the planet at the time.
Each of the tribes had developed a language to their own, and only the chieftains and scholars troubled themselves with learning the other's languages.
As you know, there was a period before these three tribes, called the Anciesity. Or, the Ancient Time. The Anciesity lasted for nearly 100,000 years, and the ancients wrote in manuscripts, that would later be found and studied by scholars of the villages. The Anciesity ended when the Great Anciesity War ended. It was a war that had so much death and injury that it by far out-measured all other wars from then on, combined together. During, the Anciesity, there were a much larger number of tribes alive. The Jaguar, The Jurii, The Hawk Tribe, The Great-Gray Wolf Tribe, and the Dandi, plus many other smaller tribes. The Dandi was the only surviving tribe from the war. The rest of the survivors from the other tribes formed together and created the Humbi and the Sandi.
After the Great Anciesity War, everything was in peace for nearly 500 years. However, at the time of the 500th year, many of the people from each of the tribes found that all of their clans had weaknesses that could easily be defeated.
The Sambi only focused on aggression and war. They trained their troops as if the apocalypse was around the corner. They didn't usually war with the other tribes, unless they suspected the other tribes of theft and evilness. The Sambi could easily be destroyed by a political decision, as their political and tribe standards were declining drastically.
The Dandi only focused on their religion, Dandism. They believed that only their clan was true and their three gods; Sumree, Agathina, and Roroak, were the gods that created the Earth and the tribes and people that lived on it. If any other clan insulted them they would begin praying for the untimely destruction of the clan that did. Their beliefs made them friendly and more in-tune with the members of the tribe. Thus, making them extremely good at politics and good at combat, however if a group of them doubted the religion, a civil war could be started almost immediately.
The Humbi only focused on peace. If another clan attempted to make war with them, the Humbi would do everything in their power to try and avoid any and all conflict with them. This peace made their army extremely weak, but they never really had a fear of a civil war or uprising of any kind. This making them extremely relaxed.
The people from these clans that were meeting together all agreed on one thing, they had to do something about this weakness that all the clans possessed. Their solution was right in front of them. Disband.
They agreed to create a new clan. A fourth clan. A clan that would mix peace, religion, and aggressiveness, thus making the perfect clan. A clan that would worship the three gods, focus on war, and keep everlasting peace.
They left the clan and traveled north. A lot further than the Tri-Clans' territory and they guessed further than any human had ever been. They were finally almost 87 miles away from the Sandi, which was the furthest north of any of the Tri-Clans. The group of new clansmen finally found a suitable place for a new clan. A large open field, with grass and animals spread throughout.
Two dense and large forests both to their east and to their west and beyond the two forests, large oceans for fishing and hopeful future trade. These oceans would later be named such as The Great Puddle, and Sumree's Plain. They would have plenty of lumber, space, food, and the perfect set of rules. They would call the tribe Wanmei, or "Perfect".
When the Tri-Clans heard of this new clan they were outraged, even the Humbi. The Sambi wanted no more competition in territory. The Dandi's god Agathina prophesized that any new groups were pure darkness and would plunge the world into chaos, the Wanmei disowned this belief, which changed Dandism to Wanmei Dandism. The Humbi knew that with now four tribes, this would create more problems in the peace that was being sustained. The tribes needed to act upon it. They would create an all-powerful army and finally rid the world of this new clan.
The clan marched, but to no prevail. The site that their spy's reported the Wanmei's whereabouts, was abandoned. Only a few wooden homes that looked barely built together were left . They believed that the clan was destroyed by animals or maybe they ran to another section where they would surely die. The clan's armies marched back satisfied of the missing clan. The Wanmei would never oppress them again.
At least, that's what they thought.
