The history of Amerouk, from creation to present day.
Note: I don't have a name for the evil prince yet, so in this history he is going by Prince Evil.
The History:
Long ago, Azéan, the God of all things, created Amerouk and everything in it, including the magic. He made it into two kingdoms, the North and the South. Zalor is a evil god, a trickster and thief. Azéan and Zalor have been fighting over control of the people since the beginning of time. Zalor tricks people into using their gifts for evil in order to assist him. When Azéan gifted the magic, he gave the power to choose which it was used for. Azéan is the god of freedom and justice, while if a gifted one gives into Zalor, he remains a slave to evil unless saved.
Azéoran is the appointed city where the king lives to keep peace over the world, and he is powerfully gifted with magic in order to keep peace in the northern and southern territories and keep the balance off the magic. A gifted magician also feels special ties with nature, as it is his duty to keep Azéan’s creation protected. With this balance in place, Amerouk remained peaceful for several hundred years. Until one king, King Dakai Aramal of Azèoran, chose to turn his magic dark. He then became the most powerful dark magician ever to live, ignoring the call of nature to rule as a tyrant. He burned villages who would not submit to him, causing forest fires, destroying the creation. Certain animals became scarce and some died out for lack of habitat.
In the sixth year of his rein, a rebellion sparked in the people. People of the North and South worked together to overthrow their king. An entire year later, they were successful. The rebellion was made of mostly commoners and good magicians. One of the King’s previous advisers led the rebellion. However, when the king died, a Curse of Zalor was cast upon the land. But before King Dakai died, he had two sons. Prince Evil and Prince Tavilon. Tav’s Mother took a fancy to him and started teaching him in the ways of the good magic before Dakai could corrupt him. Dakai did corrupt Prince Evil in order to take his place on the throne when he died. After the curse, Prince Evil arose to the throne and started a civil war, taking over his own land to gain control of the people and wipe out the good magic. He ruthlessly took his father’s place, and the magicians of Amerouk, weakened by the curse, are slowly losing. Prince Evil has been ruling for 3 years now, wiping out villages who will not submit.
