Prelude
[COLOR=royal blue]
A long time ago (in about 4000BC) a wandering tribe of nomads discovered a large ruin. This ruin must have been there for thousands of years and wasn’t like anything they had ever seen before. They send out their bravest men to explore this mysterious by forest overgrown ancient city and waited both excited and afraid for their return.
10 days later their men returned, none of them were harmed, which immediately convinced them there weren’t any other tribes who lived in this ruin. The stories these brave men brought with them were even more amazing.
The ruin was even bigger then they expected, the men told it went all the way to the sea and there were even structures in the sea. They also told about buildings, which were so high that they touched clouds much higher then any bird could fly. On some places the ground between these buildings was harder then solid rock and a transparent material, which sealed perfectly square and round holes in the walls of these buildings, couldn’t be damaged with spears or even rocks thrown at it. This was truly a miraculous ruin.
After hearing all these fantastic stories the wise men of the tribe decided to go on a second expedition inside these ruins. Accompanied by the brave men they entered the ruins a few days later, to return safely to the tribe 40 days later.
When they returned they brought with them a large amount of strange objects, most of them were what we now call books, but back then these things had no name. There was only one problem, the wise men had no idea how to interpret these strange ideograms that filled most of the books, but they were deterred to figure it out.
The reason they gave was even more fantastic then the stories the brave men had told after the first mission…they spoke of a building that showed them what must have happened to the ruin before it became a ruin.
It had shown them enormous armies, of more then a 1000 times 1000 men which were fighting for some reason, strange machines hovering over the land and breathing fire. Other machines flying through the sky like birds, whose droppings caused enormous explosions.
And in the end there were images of strange looking spear like objects, that were moving through the sky over enormous distances, and were they came down they caused “a mushroom of death”, incinerating everything near the explosion. Further away where there was no fire an invisible hand crushed the birds and the machines in the sky. On the ground the soldiers just fell over and never stood up again.
All this time there had been a voice that spoke words they didn’t understand, even after the third and fourth time they entered the building and saw these images and heard the voice they didn’t know what the words meant.
The wise men were only sure about 1 thing: There must have been a very advanced civilization a long time ago and it got destroyed in a war. They called this civilization Apolytonia(because this was one word the voice had said repeatedly).
In order to be able to study the ruins and understand more about this long gone civilization the elder decided to found a village on the grasslands east of the ruins.
It was named Melfort and from now on the people would call their tribe New Apolytonia.
