The farthest recollection of time was first recorded after the Great Freeze of the Continent. It is still unknown how the historical phenomenon that changed the world happened but it all started when flames of war engulfed the world causing catastrophic events to wreck the peaceful world the four pillars created and it all started when they met that day. The four pillars of the world were King Edwin of the South, King Cyrus of the West, King Christian of the North, and King Eden of the East. Each of the four King's reigned over his domain without interference of each other, but every night of the full moon the four Kings would meet inside the old stone castle in the centre of the four kingdoms. "My brothers, winter is almost-" "Edwin for God's sake please, we go over this every year and every year so many lives are lost" spoke Christian annoyance in his tone "Gentleman please let's not forget that we are not here to argue with one another" "UGGHHHH!!!!! Why do you act as though you are so high and mighty, Eden I get it you're a passive person but please just, enough." Cyrus sighs in annoyance to fellow brother. "Cyrus, Eden, please let's just remain calm and-" "And what!!! Edwin every year is the same as last, so please save us-" before Christian could finish Edwin rose from his throne with a thunderous roar "ENOUGH!! For years I have tried and failed to get us to come together but every year I have to deal with bickering and the constant tension between each one of you. Every single time we meet it's the same thing 'I did this' and 'you wish you had the same power as me' I am fed up with all of this nonsense people's lives are in danger! And all we do is argue with one another" slamming his fist on the table before him.
Silence fell on the room of powerful men, the silence fell on deaf ears as Christian rose from his throne "Listen carefully and I warn you all if you cross my borders I will not hesitate to destroy you kingdom, your home and your family. We will see who survives this winter." With a dramatic slam of the doors of the entrance Christian left never to return. War soon engulfed the world as tensions became more and more severe between North and South causing destruction in every land. King Edwin stood on the balcony of his palace overlooking the people below scrapping by with what little resources they have, "My King, Lord Silas and Ryder have arrived." Edwin turned to his loyal guard "Well then let us not keep our grand guests waiting." Down the hall past the room of where this war started, "All rise for the arrival of King Edwin" turning their heads to face the King of the South, Lord Silas bows his head in sign of peace, "So, my brother from the North sends me his ill taught son and who are you supposed to be?" Silas raised his head and spoke "Your majesty my name is Silas and I am the son of King Cyrus and I did not come here in an ill-mannered but I'm here to ask for peace-" "HAHA!!! Look at this little shy boy Silas is trying to create peace, your Kingly-ness my-" "I have heard enough out of you, GUARDS!! Remove him at once!!!" guards stormed into the room and grabbed the arrogant prince and dragged him out. "Now, please continue Silas let us hear this peace offering you have come to grace me with."
