People of the Minus Years

"The people of the Minus Years (that is, the years before Arburg started counting in AY - arburg years - and when chaos reigned) were an extremely different people to the peaceful and happy ones that we know today, my son. They were barbaric and cruel, and all they sought was war and destruction. The brave Joseph the Conqueror led many other brave men in the conquest to conquer the chaotic lands and bring lasting peace. You can be glad, so glad, that you don't and never will know the people of the Minus Years"
— King Ronan, to his son William

Tendentious Behaviour

The people of the Minus Years (let's just call them the Minus People, or MPs, for short) were a disruptive group of people, by nature. There was not leader or any sort of government to watch over their activities and enforce some kind of peace or rules, so chaos reigned. Everyone did what they pleased, and no one bothered to think about anyone but themselves. People stole, lied, betrayed, stabbed in the back and hated each other. Joseph (the Conqueror) saw what problems this disorder caused, and set about a plan to put a stop to it. That's when he undertook the Great Conquering. It was a massive time period of bloodshed, but eventually it succeeded.

Ha! Art? As if! Could you picture an MP taking time to create something beautiful?

Coming of Age Rites

You had to prove yourself by doing an act of courage to officially be seen as an adult. This always included killing and/or stealing.
