The Great Reclamation

The great reclamation is a historical event that took place 150 years ago. It was when the Linked Kings had amassed an army of Annihilators and sent them to the mainland to fight the Fiends and retake as much territory as humanely possible. All 900 Annihilators gave their lives along with an army of human soldiers in the most bloody war humankind has ever fought. They managed to reclaim 5 territories, but failed to reclaim the final 3. Those are now known as the lost kingdoms. The Fiends still roam the vast expanses between the reclaimed territories, and traveling between them is dangerous and totally demands that one stays close to the roads.

This is the first positive chapter in history for a long time, and humanity rediscovered the ways in which they are unique. Most of the victory is attributed to the heroism of the Annihilators, but the truth is that it was cooperation, ingenuity, unity and belief that won humanity back their lost homes in the mainland. Every decent person played their part, even the crippled and the weak where determined to contribute in the reclamation of the homelands. This was a new dawn for humanity, and they quickly set about retaking their lost treasures and rebuilding their homes.

"The Fiends are far from defeated, but our sacrifice at least established us as rightful inhabitants of the homelands. Now we are at constant conflict with the Fiends, each day hearing about another village torn down and another one being rebuilt. Our city walls are guarded by veteran Annihilators, and they are the only source of security we have in these lands. But we fear them almost the same, because they are overgrown freaks with demented minds who would kill us all if they were not trained so strictly, back in Muiryn."
