Nohlaerys had seldom seen bloodshed and the storytellers had long forgotten the final quarrel between the three great kingdoms until the near-abandoned council of Maelii was slain in the very room that had declared peace generations before. Forces rose to claim the capital and as the high lords tugged at the promise of power and glory, the integrity of the treaties that governed its peoples safety withered. Two decades passed with no sight of grasping an accord; trees grew red where the blood of waged battles was spilled; children became motherless as armies swept through villages; plots and ploys were hatched.
The land was too vast for any one man to clutch to his breast, though for nineteen years many valiantly dared to try.

Realms of the Ancients: Chronicles of the Hundred Kingdoms
Title: "Realms of the Ancients: Chronicles of the Hundred Kingdoms" In a time shrouded by the mists of history, a thousand centuries before the reckoning of time as known today, the ancient kingdoms of diverse lands stood at the precipice of a tumultuous era. The world was divided into a kaleidoscope of realms, each bound by its unique climate and culture. From the scorching deserts of Auranthia to the icy tundras of Glacium, from the vibrant jungles of Sylvandor to the rolling plains of Solstaria, a hundred noble families vied for rulership, their ambitions aflame amidst the clash of seasons. In these distant times, the kingdoms were not merely divided by geography, but by the very essence of their existence. Each land spoke its own agent tongue, woven from the ancient roots of their people. The kingdoms were marked not only by their landscapes but by the seasons that held sway over them. The Summer Courts of Sunnaria, the Winter Strongholds of Frostgarde, the Harvest Dominion of Veridale, and the Monsoon Empires of Seraphal, each realm flourished in its distinct time of year. The Hundred Kingdoms forged alliances and rivalries through marriages, sealing their fates through the bonds of love and duty. But beneath the veneer of unity lay treacherous plots and hidden agendas, threatening to unravel the fragile tapestry of power.

"Goodbye Curly Head"
Through thick and thin the Law shall prevail. A new sense of purpose awaits us, children of light, in the land where it all began. The darkness in which we once cowered in fear, now curbed by the might of our endless light. Come, brothers, come, sisters. Let there be peace among the wicked, just as the Law dictates. Peace and certainty is all that you have ever longed for, little angel. A bright, stable future. A roof without holes above thy head. Acknowledgement and recognition of thy existence, feverish dreams of grandeur. Greed born from yearning, treacherous vines of rapacity taint your innocent soul. You seek a future that does not exist. Let thy fingers hold the fragile line between dream and nightmare. Let thy light navigate the path. Shall thee give in and falter, O' land of old, envelop his body in thy unending flame of chaos. Spit out nothing but an empty husk, the remnants of a smile once so bright. Shall thee prevail, O', Great Kazdel, I ask of you, the impossible - take mercy on the innocent. Don't let the radiance dim and don't let the mind turn bleak. Wake, young traveler. Bid thy farewells and burn thy bridges. It's time to say goodbye, curly head. Cross post from AO3. For a shorter and more on-point description, look no further! I had something silly written up before throwing it out in exchange for that wall of text upstairs. It's a little story "about a young, dumb sankta who's been dealt a bad hand at life, looking for his place in all this mess. The pointless search for a better future leads him far, far away from home, to a country forever ravaged by war and misery - Kazdel, the promised land where devils roam free and peace feels out of place." Anyway, it's quite lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable? Slide a comment if you want, I'll give you a tiny kiss on the forehead. Man, do I love comments. (Lastly, to point out, English is not my native language, but I don't think it'll be much of an issue ;3)Complete

Echoes of Babylon
"My name is Esharra, and though the years weigh heavily upon me, I stand as a witness to the resilience of our people. We have endured loss, abandonment, and the cruelty of kings, yet we are still here. Babylon may no longer claim us, but her memory runs through our veins like the rivers that once fed her fields. I have led my people through fire and ruin, not because I sought power or glory, but because I could not bear to see them fall. We have built anew, on land that holds no allegiance to tyrants, where our children can grow without fear. As I look upon this valley, our home, I know my time is nearing its end. But I am at peace. The stories of our past are now the foundation of our future. Let them remember not the man who led them, but the strength they found within themselves. Babylon lives, not in stone or empire, but in us. And so long as we carry her spirit, she will never be forgotten."Complete
