Rauxor (Earth-home)

The world of Rauxor exists in a universe alternate to our own. It has a recorded history of roughly 6000 years, beginning with the records of the Dalwar, or the Firstborn,and continuing on to the modern day, and the five sentient peoples of the world. These are the Feyla, the Thravic or Human Peoples, the Diniri, the Borgothi, and the Mith'anoen. The Dalwaric peoples died out long ago. This page will give you a glimpse of the complex history of Rauxor, as translated by Thravic scholars. Anything before the year 4000 by Dalwaric count comes from the great monoliths found at ruins across the range of the former Dalwaric empire. There is still a large amount of mystery concerning the fall of the Dalwar, and the Rise of the Mith'anoen, which occurred at roughly the same time.

Rauxor-A History
First segment: compiled from the Monoliths of the Dalwars. The Dalwars had a long and conveluted history. From the beginning of their recorded history, they appear to have had a system of Kings, calling one from among their number to rule over them. Should he die, or his line die out, a new king was selected from among the people. In the early periods of their history, this is how they seem to have recorded history, by the Reign of the Kings. It is uncertain when their written language came to be, but from comparison to the time that the Sajan peoples encountered the Dalwar to the begining of their records, we beleive it was roughly around 200 BRE (before recorded Era) by Dalwaric count that their culture began to evolve. All kings and rulers from this point to the year 0 BRE were filled in later. They quickly learned the skills of the sword, and of metalworking, and we have accounts as early as 12 RE of the Wars between groups of Dalwar. A monolith in the great plain tells of the first encounter with the beings we now know as the Feylan, or the Elves.

"It was in the 500th year, that we encountered the Brothers. They came from the west, coming from the trees, and from the gaps in the wood, tall and fair, though not as fair or as strong as we. They spoke our tongue, and they knew our past, and our kings. They wore for clothing fine cloth, in golds, browns, and greens, which blended them in with the woods. The Brothers offered trade, in exchange for freedom.Indeed, they came from that same part which some few of our number had left to, by reccord, some two hundred years hence."

This group, called at this time, the brothers, continued to trade extensively with the dalwaric people. Both races seemed to expand slowly at this point in time, and from the reign of the kings, we can tell that the average life span of a Dalwar landed anywhere between 3-700 years, depending on wether or not they had "sacrificed to obtain the gift". By some unknown means, however, their new brothers were recorded to live much longer, around 900 years at the longest, and the Dalwar soon came to beleive that their cousins had found the secret to immortality. Angry at their unwillingness to share it, the Dalwar began to fight against the Feylan peoples in 1087 RE. These wars lasted for roughly 600 years, and it was at this time that a new race arose on Rauxor. This race was extremely bestial, with dark skin and hair, still humanoid, with great tusks. It was in face a Fael who first encountered this new group, according to reccord. This Fael's entire tribe had been destroyed by this new group, brutally slaughtered. She was later captured by the Dalwar, for study by their sorcerers to determine what magic kept her alive for so long, and they learned of this new race. The Dalwar began to fear this new group, and forged a seccond alliance with the Elves, to combat their new threat.
