Short Entires

This is a page for the documentation of small lore snippets that I couldn't fit into larger entries or are awaiting a larger entry.

The Ancient Cilvilization
The elves of Presia were not the first race to rule the continent, as ruins spread all around the continent speak of an ancient race that ruled the continent with ferocity and were able to bend the heavens to their will and used angels and celestials to do their bidding. Little is known about the ancient civilization, though their ruins cover the continent from large cities to small villages to hideouts, the ruins never contain any resemblance to the race or any speak about them. The civilization is believed to have fallen due to internal conflict and a slave revolt by the elves that they enslaved, those that survived the complete decimation of life that resulted in the revolts speak that the gods shielded them from being killed and helped them save escape enslavement. The race was completely wiped out by either the elven gods or the elven slaves that escaped and no one recalls what they looked like. It is believed that they had 4 arms as all magic items and technology found in ruins require the use of four arms to use.

Languages of Presia
The "Common" language all over Presia that's shared by the 5 nations (so all of them excluding the Horde) is Merchant's Tongue. Most of the higher nobility and any merchants worth their salt speak the language. Otherwise, the other nations have their own languages. Dwerelith has "Dwerian", Alalsasaria speaks "True Elvish", the fake elf nation that I forgot the name of speaks "Dark Elvish" (a name given to their language by the Alalsasarians and then embraced), the Free north speaks a mixture of the three and Whitniseria speaks "Northern".

The horde has it's own version of language named "Barbarian's tongue" by the Presian races and called "War Speak" in the native language. War Speak unified all the other languages (orcish and goblinoid) into one language.

Life Trees
A life tree is the term given to a large tree in the center of a forest. The tree is usually the oldest and largest of the forest and houses a dryad or a group of them for protection. It’s said that a life tree is houses the lifeforce of a forest and that if taken down, the entire forest would wilt and die. The life tree is usually protected fiercely.

It is also said that there's a world tree somewhere in the world, which if destroyed then the entire world would die. The humans believe that Vis protects the tree.
