History of FORGOSIA

The story of the peoples and kingdoms of Forgosia

The Old Dominion

0>~6000

Marked from the birth of the Elder Races, the first mortals to exist on Wyrdos. In this time, the Dragons, or Rok, carved out a vast empire on the continent of Forgosia against the will of the Angels, or Seraphim, and started a long and bloody war, with tensions between the two race existing long after the conflict had ended. In Jorland, the Tryggavolk mastered the arts of craftsmanship while on the continent of Eldenvale the Feyfolk created their own myriad civilizations.
