In that ancient, primitive age, mankind did not yet exist. The ancestors of the elves were still savage trolls, Titan giants ruled the earth with thunderous might, and dragons reigned supreme in the boundless skies. At the twilight of the era, a cataclysmic war erupted- Titans and dragons clashed in a world-shaking battle, devastating the land and sky alike, leaving both sides crippled. From the ashes, the cunning goblin tribes rose, plotting to seize dominion over the shattered continent. And in this age of chaos, a soul from another world awakened- reborn into a humble tribe of hawkfolk, primitive beings with wings yet no destiny. He brought with him fire, vision, and purpose. Under his guidance, the hawkfolk took their first steps on the path of evolution- a path that would lead them, through blood and glory, to ascend as the race of angels. ⸻
