Crusade Of Gods - English version

0 - Prologue, the Beginning

"The continent of Thaloria is composed of four great nations, which maintain a fragile coexistence thanks to a peace treaty. However, with each passing year, this agreement seems closer to collapsing. Even in times of peace, racism and prejudice between different races and kingdoms create constant intrigue and conflicts, threatening the stability of the continent...

"One of them is Elarion, the kingdom of the White Elves, hidden deep within the Elven Forest. This region is shrouded in a dense mist that keeps any unwanted visitors away. However, the Elves, with their heightened senses, can easily navigate through this environment, moving freely through the forest while other beings get lost..."

"Summermoon is the human kingdom, located in the northern part of the continent. Known for its grand and heavily fortified structures, it is the largest of the four kingdoms in Thaloria, both in size and power. Its robust defenses and impressive architecture make Summermoon a notable and respected nation..."

"Fittebrook is the kingdom of the dwarves, surrounded by towering mountains and deep mines, rich in minerals and precious stones. The mines are so vast that they stretch across the entire dwarven territory, forming a complex underground network that is one of the kingdom's greatest riches..."

"Duskbloom is the smallest of the kingdoms, as much of its territory was taken by Summermoon and Elarion after the Elven Wars. This kingdom is home to the Dark Elves, who once belonged to Elarion. However, deep divisions between the two races led to a separation, resulting in the creation of two distinct kingdoms. Today, Duskbloom bears the scars of that past, maintaining its independence despite being the smallest of the four kingdoms of Thaloria..."

"Although the Monster Pass is home to countless monsters and creatures, it also holds marvelous treasures of ancient and forgotten origins. These artifacts can be claimed by those brave enough to venture into such a naturally dangerous territory. There are records, written by adventurers and mercenaries, that speak of dungeons and lairs inhabited by powerful entities..."

"The kingdom of Fittebrook is the only one that maintains trade relations with Summermoon and Elarion, thanks to its excellence as blacksmiths and artisans. Their products are of utmost importance to the technological development of the continent, providing essential materials and equipment that drive the progress of other nations..."

As he rolls up the dusty and aged scroll, Martin concludes his reading on the geopolitics of the continent of Thaloria.
