History

Known History of the World
The Elves would have you believe that theirs was the first culture to come together to form something grand. The Dwarves dispute this, saying it’s impossible to compare timelines between the two of them. Humans say theirs is the oldest but everybody knows that’s not actually true.

Dotting the landscape—outside of Volanil—lie remnants of truly ancient cultures. Most of them are mysteries now, but each race has legends about theirs.

Ereleisi and the Kingdom of Dolenyion
Thought to be a grand kingdom and host to a type of magic far more powerful than any that exist today, Dolenyion collapsed when, supposedly, the head of what is now known as the Vysolra family line cursed the throne. Because the respect and worship for the throne was the seed of Dolenyion’s magic, the entire kingdom fell to ruin, and to this day all Vysolras are cast out of Elven society on sight.

The Taming of Volanil
The Kingdom of Fire, as it had once been known, had burned all throughout living memory, casting thick black plumes of smoke at the gods' whims. Ships could never approach without being attacked by storms of hot ash. Tales as old as those of Dolenyion tell of creatures beyond even the Fire Plane being sighed on the hellish shores of Volanil.

Two hundred years ago, the First King Molstegrov famously tamed the Fire Mountain Volanil, turning the entire continent into not only a habitable place, but an almost supernaturally lush one which is near-covered in gemstones and minerals. No one knows how Molstegrov tamed Volanil, but it is common knowledge that to dethrone the Royal Family and crown someone unrelated to the First King Molstegrov is to bring back the Volanil Kingdom of Fire.
