Dykrius

     As the server name indicates, we are in a Mythical World called Dykruis, beasts of all sorts exist here. Dragons, Phoenixes, Hellhounds, Vampires, Werewolves, Mermaids, Krakens, Ghosts, Ghouls, Angels, Demons. They all exist here. (This list is just examples, you are not limited to these specific species)

     In the past, the beasts and the supernatural were separated. The beasts had control of Essaros and The Never Forest while the supernatural and the humans had control of Igracia and The Vision Territories. Slavery was highly present in Igracia, though now it is much less popular, there are still a few underground places where slaves can be purchased. 

     Beasts and supernaturals now live amongst each other, for the most part. Once the slavery was abolished, the 4 cities became one as to try to make sure that everyone would live in harmony. They have named the city Victora...

~~~~~Dykrius~~~~~

     The world came into existence nearly 5 billion years ago. As the world was forming, two celestial beings were created. One of peace and one of chaos. Pax, representing peace, helped raise mountains, creating water sources, creating small creatures of all sorts. Basa, representing chaos, created parasites and predators to go after the other creations. As time grew, the world developed into something magnificent, Covered by the wondrous and beautiful creations that Pax had manifested. For nearly 90,000 years, things went on smoothly as everything fell into place, one after the other, perfecting itself, complimenting itself. Eventually, with the help of larger predators, some of the small creatures evolved from simple creatures to something extraordinary, phoenixes, dragons, angels, demons, hellhounds and many others came into existence, however, it took an extra 550,000 years for this evolution to come into place.

     As 95,000 years went by, Basa grew bored, inciting creatures to act out violently, eventually war took over the world, creatures of all kinds would fight for dominance, of course, many of them would die, one day while the war raged on, a being larger than any others came down from the tallest mountain, this being Pax, and forced everyone to stop, disappointed in how his creations were acting, it made them all understand that this senseless war did nothing, other than reduce each race's population. As the war stopped, the populations increased again. Pax vanished once everything was in order.

     350,000 years after the first war, humans came to exist. Pax had created them, as to add more creatures to the world. From them, came were-beasts, vampires, Nephilim, other hybrids and supernatural beings. As they were created, more animals came into existence too. With that, Basa created weapons, stronger than those that the humanoid creatures could make, whispering into their minds, pushing them to hurt and kill others.

     For 25,000 years, tension grew between the creatures and the supernatural, as Basa kept pushing each of the groups to get more land for themselves, forcing the weak into exile, an all out war started between them and eventually, Pax, who had stopped the fighting in the past came down and ordered that a peace treaty be signed. The losses were great on both sides. Countless deaths for no logical reason, no one had won. Reluctantly, both sides agreed and signed the treaty. They each got the same amount of land to live off of. 5,000 years had gone by with this new conflict.

    While this was going on, Basa came down and encouraged the creations to enslave each other for their own benefits. And with that, slavery started, it was so discreet that no one had really noticed people missing, but as the demand started getting bigger for slaves, it got more daring, taking anyone who was weak enough, including the creatures who were forced into exile in the second war, no matter their social stature. This did not sit well with Pax, who kept watch over the world. As it kept happening, he watched, quietly. 

     The slavery went on for nearly 650,000 years, until people started going after each other for the other's slaves or even to try and enslave masters. This, again sparked a new war, a war to cease the slavery. As death tolls rose, Pax rose once again from his throne, coming down and stopping the war, once again. Those who did not agree with ceasing the fighting met an unfortunate end. Slavery was forced to stop and everyone went their own way.

     Pax disappeared shortly after the war had ended. Contrary to the last time, no one has heard of him since.. Slavery has hit it's all time low, though there are still masters, mistresses and slaves out there, it is kept quiet as it is frowned upon.

     200,000 years have gone by. Everyone who was alive during the war is now dead or gone. Technology is an odd thing here. There is next to no pollution, vehicles exist though when not in use, they seem to disappear. Electricity is mostly wind, solar and hydro powered. Guns are non-existent. New masters and mistresses are starting to surface, some people are starting to disappear again. A group supporting the slavery has come forth, calling themselves “The Order.” They are ran by the son of Basa, Sephiran. They push to get the slave trade running like it was before the third war. On the side to keep slavery from coming back, the daughter of Pax, Haziel, holds her group of abolishinists who call themselves “The Unity” on her side, fighting against The Order.

     Will slavery make a comeback? Will it get completely wiped out? Find out as the story progresses. 

     As the days grew further, it was no secret that The Order was plotting something. With Sephiran at the head of the organization, his followers didn't question the God's orders and decisions. 

     It wasn't long before his first plans were put into action. Grabbing unsuspecting people, throwing them into cages and breaking them before selling them to people who had proven their worth to the cause. Quickly, the popularity of slavery grew further. In Victora, slavery became spoken of more often, almost normalized as The Unity attempted to control the spread of The Order's grips. 

     For a brief time, it appeared as though The Unity was successfully putting a stop to it. Unknowingst to them, this was exactly what The Order wanted. As the quiet fight went on, members of The Unity started to go missing. No one seemed to know where they had gone, until one by one, they started to pop up in slave markets. Completely oblivious as to who they once were. 

     As months went by, The Unity retreated. Hoping that by doing so, they'd somehow manage to get their strength back. But quickly, The Order found them and fought them. Sephiran, going for Haziel as they were evenly matched. As members tried to retreat to their own sides, one person did not emerge from the battle. 

      A year has gone by since slavery has become popular, The Unity is now run to almost nothing. The organization, now without a leader, is struggling to build numbers again, fighting from their small numbers and attempting to free their brainwashed members. 

      Haziel has yet to be seen since the fight.. No one knows where she has gone, or perhaps some do. Sephiran now runs Victora and the slave trade.

      800 years have gone by. Haziel has not been seen since Sephiran took over the surface. Crime and slavery is now rampant. 

      All statues, places of worship or pertaining to any of the two Gods of creation have been destroyed though few remain untouched, saved by the remaining Unity members. Members who, when discovered to be such followers, are hunted until caught and then they are sent to Camp Chastity, where they get broken into submission. 

      Every now and again, a cry for help breaks the silence of night. This cry, heard by all, is even louder for those who support The Unity, and for those who are enslaved. Rumor has it that it is Haziel who's calling out for her followers to help her, to set her free. 

      No one knows of her location, clues are hardly ever found except for the occasional white feather that glows softly with holy light. As time goes by, the calls for help become louder and more frequent. 

      Sephiran has sent out more slave-seekers to snatch up any of the remaining Unity followers, intending on putting an end to the followers that Haziel once had.
