In the West, King Tyrannus claimed the magnificent castles of Rhodania and the humble village of Leioss. He grew a lust for power in his western kingdom, eventually to be overthrown by his people. During the break of chaos enslaved Leiossians take revenge with the help of traitorous Silver Knights.
Synautius of the Royal District was crowned Queen, and from the shadows -- began her mission to finish the work of her fallen king. The son of Tyrannus was far too young to be a ruler, and the people did not trust the descendant of a barbarian to lead. The boy did not resemble his father in the slightest, and while Synautius made her advance on the rebel scum; the young Tiberius preached in the street about peace rallying the people for his cause.
Synautius failed miserably on her assault, piling casualties on both sides of the battlefield. Tiberius, the charming young son of Tyrannus was soon after crowned king, he brought peace to the land by liberating the Leiossian people, they continued working on the farms; few rich enough were able to colonize the kingdom. He also renamed the ancient Rhodania after the leader of the rebellion -- The wise Turalyon also enacts a council to ensure that no one person could have control of the masses.
Our story begins when the young king received a child by a man known simply as 'The Explorer', symbolizing the new era of peace that can be obtained in a war-plagued land. The child was named after the mountain in the center of Middle-Land; Olympius. Though young and naïve, Tiberius accepted the offer shortly before the birth of his own son. Promptly named after the wise leader of the Leiossian Rebellion.
However, as time passed Olympius could not make friends within the Royal Castle. Many of the other children believed the prophecies revolving around the new son were false after listening to their parents judgements about the outsider. They kept their distance during his childhood, and Olympius adapted to his loneliness; beginning to sneak outside of the territory at a ripe age, and making friends with the slave children on the outskirts -- which he could relate more than the children of royalty.
One fateful adventure however, Olympius and his best friend were captured and ransomed by bandits. They were both lucky to be spared. His punishment would be enlisting into the Silver Knight's; in hopes to also train the young boy to fend for himself. Surrounded by warriors Olympius truly understood the barbaric ways, and this caused him to speak out against needless violence. His captain took this as slander, and was hastily sent to the dungeons of the Royal Castle, though merely a child.
King Tiberius fought with the council many times about the fate of his prodigal son. The conflict continued with the Leiossian's who begged for equal treatment after the plague, and the words of the young Olympius would later echo into a second rebellion.
Our epoch begins with the final adventure of Olympius (age 11) as he travels into The Deotoro Forest. Meanwhile, in Turalyon's Kingdom the deadly outbreak has been temporarily solved by a mandatory quarantine of those who have been infected.

Districts of Turalyon's Kingdom:
The Common District was the residential district, and the largest of the districts. There are marketplaces, learning centers, professionals, and was located at the heart of the kingdom. The Common District has a network to each district. This is the most bustling of the kingdom.
The Labor District a lesser district with utmost importance; all manufactured goods were crafted by poorer residents who worked long hours of the day on menial tasks.
The Warrior District was the training grounds for The Silver Knights; The Ring of Gladiators finished construction and people came to the many events that were held to showcase strength -- along with brutal tournaments which always brought out large crowds and revenue for the city.
The Sacral District was the religious district with many churches and other places of offering. There were few gods that were taught by the people, the most important being Tyr -- The father of their being. They gave blessings in hope for the return of their almighty god. It was disrespectful to not worship this greater beings, those who did not offer themselves found it hard to gather resource. Any who dare speak poorly about these gods were hanged.
The Crown District or the Royal District, had wealthy residents. This was also the location of the Grand Castle/Royal Castle. Heavily guarded with elite knights, nearly impossible for a commoner to enter without blessing by the king or council.
