Two decades ago, a vile demon threatened the land of linaymena, annihlating, enslaving, and decaying those it passed over... A godess saved her people in one final battle with the demon, but it embodied itself in the worst foe she and her fox like kin ever encountered, a tyrant of humanity that enslaved her and her kind under its boot, but the tyrant fought back against the demon, becoming it himself in turn.

It was when a "traitor" among the humans who helped most of the peoples escape.. But in turn it led to the death of the oldest race in all of Linaymena as they tried to distract the tyrant.

races: 

'human : the primary race of the island, having migrated there from years prior. they are seperated out from the munarvi by tan skin, and their eye color.'

pokiha : fox like humanoids who live in the southern beaches part of the island, much like the ngahere humans, they love war and strength, but are more about strength and agility than tanking out pain.

tribes:

ngahere : a warlike tribe of humans that lives in the northern forests of the island, they are the strongest, most durable people of the island, but they are less experienced, dumber, and less agile than the other tribes.

repo : the tribe of the central swamp, made up of both munarvi, pokiha, and humans, they are the second oldest of all three tribes, older than the ngahere, and are much smarter. but they arent nearly as strong as the northern forest brutes.

mohaho : the wildmen of the island, they arent a tribe, but more displaced people who either love seclusion or because they lost their homes in raids... they live all over the island.

pokiha: the tribe of foxes on the southern beaches of the island, they are agile and just as strong and warlike as the ngahere, and thus they go to war often. they prefer agile combat and hit and run tactics.

the ostoran empire :  An Empire that was founded on unity and equality, but grew on corruption, greed. And the thirst for aggressive expansion. The Ostoran Empire was once ruled by a benevolent King. Who cared for his people, and in turn was loved by then. But the King Hynthar was struck by illness. And was left to decide which of his three sons he would select as his heir. Jyir the Eversteel, a kind-hearted metal-loving man. Who would forge the hardest steel, but hat our the softest heart. People were skeptical of his rule, if he had the mettle to be king. But one thing was certain, if he was chosen, then the Ostorans would have the greatest steel mills that have ever graced the planet. Then, they had Berthus the Valiant. A fearsome warrior in battle, he served as his father's commander of armies. And his tactical knowledge knows no boundaries, however, he is very inept when it comes to social interaction. And discussions which don't require much logic.

And then, there was Danus the Abolished son. Danus was the eldest son, he was the first Commander of Armies in the history of the Ostoran Empire. But, soon after he gained this power, he committed unspeakable atrocities. Which were so unfathomable that his father decided to renounce his heirship and disown him as a son. But Danus was fueled by rage, and raised an army of unflinchingly loyal Knights and mercenaries. And attacked the core of the Ostoran Empore, killing his father, and his brothers. Which left him as the only possible heir to the throne. Forcing the Council to instill him as King. Shortly after he was placed upon his mantle, he disbanded the Council. Instead using a collection of his chosen military, and economic advisors. Those composed the new Ostoran Council. Which was often accused of being corrupt, but any who would dare say such a thing was hung, burnt alive... Or maybe even worse.

Hefty taxes, obligatory conscription. The tyrannical Danus wrapped his greedy Fingers around his empire and milked it of its worth. But instead of shrivels and dying. This prompted the empire to expand aggressively. Taking over new lands. And now Danus controlled his empire, with his trusted first and only son leading his elite force of Inquisitorial Knights.

But, arguably the worst atrocity that was committed by far was the Danus Decree. Which claimed that humanity was the superior species, and all others were inferior to its might. Animals and even savage tribesmen were the property of humanity. Who would use them as mere tools to aid their expansion. And so, massive Slave roads were constructed, shipping slaves all around to be bought, sold, to be forced to work. Or to fall in the hands of a cruel master.

Danus nearly had his day when he enslaved the Pokahia and their nine tailed godess, during this time he had gone under posession from the plague demon, but managed to conquer the demon and harness his power... But thankfully the munarvi sacrificed themselves to provide time for the pokahia to escape.
