Calyara: Cloak and Dagger
1568 years ago, a band of heroes defeated an arch-magi named Farieth Zaren. He was a mad man that was attempting to commit genocide on all inhuman races. Ironically his dream came true hundreds of years after his death. The newly formed Calyaran government made great scientific progress. Using Zaren’s flying machine, the Dwarves created planes. The Orcs discovered explosives, the Humans automobiles and the Aivons started to research psychic abilities, it was considered a Golden Age. Until, one summer at the uninhabited island of Kael, the Dark Elves tested the first Atomic Bomb. The sheer destructive force of this new weapon sent the world leaders into a state of fear, a state of fear. Scientists were ordered to begin constructing their own A-Bombs and the more bombs that were built the more fear spread, until fear became paranoia and nuclear war began. War eventually escalated to a holocaust, one that plagued the world of Calyara for two years. The world lost the Fellion, the Dwarves, the Dark Elves and most breeds of Lizard Men during this short time. Eventually the world leaders realised there was no victory if the war continued the very planet would die and no one would survive. On January 1st 1AH, a treaty was signed and all nuclear weapons were destroyed never to be used again. Afterwards the Humans, High Elves and Wood Elves started project ROGER or Research Of Genetically Engineered Races. ROGER’s sole purpose was to bring back the races that the holocaust took away. The date is January 4th 87 AH, the Calyaran government has just completed their new division of special operations to protect it’s citizens from new threats, when it is actually a very old threat waiting on the horizon.
While this is the second installment in my Calyara Series you didn't have to have played the first to play this one. However it might be easier if you to at least read the first section of the opening post of the original thread found here (http://www.warboards.org/showthread.php?t=8885).
If you are interested please say so, if you have any questions and/or would like a summary of the first Calyara's ending ask away and I'll either post an answer or PM you with it.
