I am wanting to start a project making lore for the great fantasy maps that have been made for this game, starting with the Realms of Valara, my favorite map (Link: https://www.warzone.com/Map/34366-Realms-Valara) I tried to start this before, but then I kind of gave up. Any input would be great! I would like the whole lore-building project for the maps to be a community-based thing. I already spoke to the map creator and there is no official lore, though I did bounce ideas off of him. Anyways, here is a quick summary of the history of Valara since the last Everday by Trevalus of Lyre, written seventy years after the unification of the Scor 1: The Elves know that the realms of Valara are governed by a cycle of days and nights which are commonly divided into twenty-four hours, and these days are governed by the cycle of seasons, four together making a year, and these years are governed by cycles of ages which, themselves, are governed by the dark nights and the everdays. 2: Roughly every one-hundred thousand years the son will slow on it’s course, and slow, and slow, until it comes to a stall, and standing over the world, it destroys all the life that lives upon it, and it sends its monsters to scour the survivors. At this time, the servants of the moon will gain great strength in opposing the great sun, and if they succeed in drawing it’s power away, the sun will be pushed along its course and the normal course of days, and of seasons, and of years will continue, but the calamities will not come to an end, for after the sun has turned the earth into a desert, and after the moon has pushed it along its course, the waters of the flood rush in and cover the earth once again, and in covering the earth, no man knows how it shall be divided again. But, after this age of great floods, men will worship and serve the moon, and they shall give it power, and the night shall grow in strength until it has sent its evils upon the earth and men grow agitated against it because of the slaughter of the night, and words shall be spoken in the midst of the shadows, and the will of the sun will again be made known, and the prophets and the power will come, and the night will fade away until, again, the earth shall be brought unto it’s everday. This is the course of the ages of the world. 3: The elves alone, who inhabit the lands of Antellar and Vaelland, Immortal as they are, understand the course of this world, and they guide it along its path, but men are of a short memory and do not understand the things that shall come to pass, which shall be caused by their forgetfulness. So it has always been, so it shall always be, until the end of time, until the last everday. 4: Now there are four races of Valara: the elves, men, dragons, and dwarves. Dragons once inhabited all the lands of Valara and it is said that, in they beginning, they formed the lands after their image and they named their lands after their names, but for many ages the dragons have been slain and greatly reduced in number and they have disappeared in all the land, save for the land of Varion where the dragons still rule, though they be allied with men, whom they give their powers. 5: Now the elves have lived for many ages, and rarely do they give birth or go to war with their hands, but they were also once greater, for at first they ruled over the lands of Vizapur under the great king of Xoria, but in ancient times their empire was destroyed and the greater part of the elven race fled to Antellar, and they waged war against men for many generations, until they were also invaded, and magic was used against them. Then they created the great cyclone of Antellar which encircles the great isle and which draws all the magic from the lands all around and brings them into the great city. For this reason, the lands of Eurion and Vizapur are quite lacking in magic in the modern day, but this great cyclone does not draw power awy from the eastern lands of Estavar. 6: Now the cycle of everdays has come and passed since that time, and elves have reclaimed many other kingdoms since the last everday, though Antellar has remained their true home for three-hundred thousand years. Since the last everday, after the shattering of Antellar, colonists from the many cities established themselves on the coasts of Verdialliare, and they governed themselves after the fashion of the city states of Antellar, but their cities were quickly overwhelmed by men and by the great Xorian empire. Now this fact is not commonly known, but it is the case that, even though Xoria is dominated by men, it is, in truth, and elven empire, for it was elven from the beginning, but it was, in ancient times, destroyed. Yet, a certain elve, Nebocodtza` wishing to reclaim the glory for his own, and wishing to gather it all in for himself, deceived the ignorant tribesmen of the jungle who did not know the elven race and, through his magical arts, convinced them that he was a god, and, having made them his devotees, he gave them a good land, and he persuaded them to slay all other elves within the land if he did not approve of them, and he approves of none. So Xoria is an elven empire, though the number of its elven residents is equivalent to one elven man, its god-king and ruler. 7: Now there is yet another elven realm, this realm being the land of Vaelland, though little is known about it save for the fact that it is formerly a dwarven land, but the elves, finding their great halls uninhabited, settled there, and their gold and their silver comes to us. It is not known to us if dwarves dwell in any other place, but they may yet dwell in the whispering wilderness.

8: Now as for the race of men which, like a plague, has spread over the whole earth, they rule over great parts of all the continents. The westernmost continent of Eurion is completely overspread by them and at the present time they are divided into three realms in this land: the kingdom of Fornost in the north, Mitrad in the midst, and Calthura in the south. Mitrad is the newest of these realms, and they are little more than barbarians who have put on knightly vesture. They arise from the mountains which run through the spine of the land and are, in truth, people of Vemna, the eastern part of Fornost, but they destroyed the cities of Janus and Maris which they now call Hira and Crona respectively, and Crona they have made their capital. Then when their cousins, the Vemnans, sought to dwell in the land, they did not wish for anything to do with them, but in their love for spoil they considered such requests to be robbery and invaded them with all force, and their general Evance, having overcome them with glory, was given the lands to the east of the mountains. Now Evance received these lands, his house waged war against the Vemnans apart from the will of the king and he gathered more and more lands unto himself until the kings envied and feared him, but he was not able to wage war against the house because it was loved by the people and because the house paid their due honors to him, so out of envy and fear, he waged war against the southerners and the Calmirans and robbed from them the lands of Riveron and the Mitrad plains, which only obtain this name because Mitrad rules them, and not because of the people who live there. Having obtained these victories, the king then waged war against Altengrad, hoping to gain glory by overcoming the people there. But, the people of Alten had discovered again the great powers of industrial technology and, with these advanced weapons of war, they and their allies Auris slew the imperial fools with guns and pikes. The horsemen of Mitrad were pushed back, and the king of Crona achieved nothin except the union of Altengrad and Auris, and their subsequent union with the people of Vemna, and these lands, having gathered together in the union of Forston, gathered the whole white north into their fold.
9: Now Calmira is the most ancient empire of Eurion that survives to this day, though their are empires more ancient than it. Calmira was once elven land, but as the men that lived there grew in number, the elves chose to abandon the land and allow the men to settle around the lake of Calmir because of their need. The Calmirans ruled over all the land around the lake which is divided into four provinces in the Calmiran tongue: Calhora in the north, which covers much of Riveron and the Calmiran plains, which are now called the Mitrad plains, Alcahor, in the east, Telahor, in the west, and Elkahora in the south. These people also traded with the elven cities on the coast of Trical because of the great wealth of that region, and the land between the lake and trical was called Methura. 10: Now the lands of Methura would eventually spawn an empire which was ruled by a conqueror named Perathor, and he conquered the cities of Trical and destroyed them, and the lands of Calmir and ravaged them. But his lands were themselves ravaged by a new Calmiran empire a century later, which was again overcome by a Methuran empire. After this empire was again overcome by a Vemnan invasion, the Calmirans established a new city in the south on an island on the coast of the Emerald sea, and from this island they pushed back against the barbarians and, having reconquered the whole of Calmira, established a new empire, though their capital remained on the island of Calthur. However, the Calmiran empire was still opposed by a great Methuran force which, after it conquered the Calmiran isle, was itself overwhelmed by a sheriff from Ethura. This Ethuran sheriff established a new Calmiran dynasty which conquered the lands of Methura and Riveron and the Mitrad plains, uniting them into one new empire of Calmira, but after the northern provinces were taken by Mitrad this new empire would also collapse and, being divided into many states, it was united by a Methuran ruler, but after five generations his dynasty was overthrown by a Calmiran ruler who officially established the state of Calthura, and his dynasty also conquered Trical. But his dynasty was also destroyed when it failed to retake the lands of Calmir, and the new and the current dynasty is the one which added the Emerald Isle to the realm.
11: South of Eurion, besides the Emerald isle, there are also four golden isles which mean rule. Each of the islands are ruled by knights who call themselves noble lords, who earn their fortunes from ruling the mines and oppressing unfortunate men. To the east of these islands lies the great island of Kaizura which is ruled by an ancient people which now claims the Mitrad plains, though they never owned it.

12: Now the continent in the east of Valara is Estavar, and as has already been stated, the north of this continent is ruled by the human kingdom of Varion and the elven kingdom of Vaelland. To the south of these kingdoms there is a kingdom of wetland barbarians that adorn themselves with bones and use dark magic and often raid the lands of Vaelland for no cause except their own enrichment. These Atra barbarians are said to have come from the whispering wilderness, and by their dark arts they have expanded it far beyond its former bounds.
13: Now the whispering wilderness itself is a vast land of mystery which few men understand, but this land has often been central to the cycle of the everday, because the east almost always is. Though much of what now goes on there is unknown because of the power of the moon, it is known that that land was once ruled by the mighty power of Carath which had brought an end to the last everday, but as the magic of the moon grew stronger, the people of Carath were cut off from the civilized world by an evil nightfall which might have destroyed them, though this is not known for sure. Though, considering the fact that the lands of the Atra barbarians are vast, it is probable that they also rule over the old city and have destroyed it, along with all its glory.
14: Now the western parts of the whispering wilderness are well known to us because of the modern expeditions of Besharon of Lyre and Sting the pirate. These two companies have thoroughly explored the lands of Kinadoret and have written many lengthy accounts of their adventures which I do not wish to repeat hear, though I might wish to bring up afew interesting notes. Besharon, for example, has claimed to discover a peace of land which he calls the insane shore. Along this shore there are tree of a certain, violent and terrible type. They have, as fruit, a kind of banana which, if picked, may turn out to be a common fruit, or the fruit may grant some great power, or it may poison a man, or it may cause him to hallucinate, or it may open itself up from the bottom when touched, revealing a red mouth full of teeth, and fall on the man who picked it, tearing at his flesh, and it cannot be known what form the fruit will take when it is picked, not from the tree that is picked at, nor the color of the fruit, nor from the shape, or time, or anything easily discernable. For this reason alone the shore might be called insane, but there is also a fume which rises up from the ground which drives men mad, and there are certain fish which speak one the shore which also drag men down to the water with nets.
Beshar has also found a certain noble stronghold of night which, for a long time, has defended a certain roadway which goes from Toria into the mines of the mountains of the night. This stronghold is called the Imderal stronghold, and they claim to be the sole possessors of truth and all that is good, and they also claim that they alone defend the world from all evils of the night. They are, in truth, a noble race, though I doubt the reasonableness of their pretentions. They may believe these because they are descended from old Carath, but they do not have the glory of their fathers, though like their fathers, they also practice monogamy and friendship with all men, and they worship one God whom they call the creator of all, unlike all other people.
15: Now Sting has also found a point of interest during his expedition. He explored along the southern coast of that continent called Kinadoret, and in the eastern extremity he found a city called strongtown which was known throughout its region for its wrestling competitions and the other sports which it participated in. The people of strongtown had a truly great military which waged war against the monsters of the night. When Sting arrived in this place he and his men also participated in their contests, and because they did not despise a man of worth, when they saw his cunning and skill, they gave him and his men the southern part of their land and made an alliance with them, and with his help they fully pushed out the monsters of the light from their land. Because it is now known that Sting and the people of Strongtown defeated the monsters of the moon, it should now be seen as obvious the truth that the power of the moon is fading, and the fear which elves once had of it is no longer justified, and we must now prepare for the much more terrible spectre of the everday.
16: Information about all the lands of Eurion, including the lands of Vaelland, come to us through the traders of Toria, a great colonial republic of men which rules over the lands between the Barbarians of Atra and the whispering wilderness. They are split in two by the New River. To the north of the river lies the lands of Eurion, and half of their empire lies on the southern extremity of this land. They also rule over the northern half of the Island of Kinadoret, and this makes up the southern half of the empire. The New River was created during the last flooding, and it has received this name because Toria alone, of all them empires of men, survived the destruction brought about by the last everday. In preparation for the last everday, they gathered their people together it the land that is now the island of Old Tora, and after the age of the flood, when they discovered that their refuge was now an island, they expanded into the lands around them with methodical persistence. Yet, after they were enveloped in distress by the monsters of the night, they did not despair, but with patience they overcame by the sheer force of numbers and human grit and the will of their republic. When the night faded and they were finally liberate from its fears they set walls about themselves and, setting their eyes to the west, they began to sail across the dragon-sea into the lands they now own today, even colonizing as far as the eastern shores of Vizapur. Even though they are surrounded by magic, they, simply due to their own ignorance, lack it, yet still they overcame superior and overwhelming odds until today, having, by sheer determination, become the great power of the east.

17: Now between Eurion and Estavar lies the great continent of Vizapur which we have already discussed to some extent. This continent has, for much of its history, been dominated by the great empire of Xoria, though since the destruction of the empire, it was divided into many squabbling kingdoms of men. But, since the last everday, the Xorian empire was re-eastablished by the formerly mentioned ruler, Nebocadtza`, re-established it. But this empire only rules over the south-western half of this continent to this day. The northeastern-half is ruled over by the empire of Scormag which is of concerningly recent origin. Only seventy years ago, the conqueror Litsakan, a mere man, after obtaining the kingship of the great island of Nesmag, united the many fishing tribes of Scorza, and after achieving this great goal his son Kalisoren conquered all the lands of Ghertis, Pharta, Gamrot, Stamira, and the great north. Now the people of the Scor are, to some degree, culturally related to the people of Nesmag and of Scorza, but the people of the lands now called Normag have no relation of any kind, being more closely related to the people of Varion and of Forston, so he made the land to be ruled by men from his mother’s city of Serech, and he slew many people there and gave their houses and lands over to people from Scorza and Stamira. Now after Kalisoren died, forty years after the Union of the Scor, his empire was divided between his generals, but they were all defeated by the general Azriotus who, having gathered his forces, waged war against Xoria to claim the wastelands of the Jizah desert and the Shmon desert. In order to weaken his Xorian foe, he also liberated the city of Imzora, Nagroy, and Iphelion, and Thagis only seven short years ago, and he challenged the Xorian and Torian claims in the kingdom of Shero.
18: Shero is a kingdom that, despite its ancient pedigree, has a government who’s legitimacy is not recognized and is actively being divvied up by the great powers around it, by Toria, Xoria, and Scormag. Now the ancient kingdom of Shero was never truly recognized by the empire of Xoria, whose god-king claims rule over all of Vizapur, and the Torians have, for two-hundred years, been establishing colonies and treating the people of Shero like wildmen in the northeast, but Shero was able to maintain some semblance of strength for many years until, eight years ago, it fell into civil war as there were eight claimants to the throne. Four of these claimants were slain, and one ruled, but the other three scattered to the winds and each one went to his own power, one to Scormag, one to Xoria, and one to Toria. Each of these claimants have been recognized as the rightful kings of Shero by their host powers and have obtained this recognition by signing treaties which will give, to their host kingdom, certain lands from the kingdom of Shero if only they will set them upon the throne. After these promises were given, Shero was soon invaded by the three great powers, but the forces of Xoria and Scormag converged as they marched down the western coast, and Lian, the true king of Shero, met them in battle and the 3-way conflict ended in slaughter for both the foreign parties, so the land where they fought and were chased down by the armies of Lian is now called the bloodwood, but much of north-western Shero is still under Xorian control.
19: Now the Torians used their claimant to claim as much land as they could in north-eastern Shero, but they did not desire to spend their resources putting their claimant upon the throne, but they desired to preserve his dynasty to be used at a more convenient time. But, Lian destroyed the armies of Scormag and Xoria in the bloodwood, he retook some Torian land along the eastern coast.

A Review of Trevalus’ Work, “since the last everyday” by Khresin of the Khetja clan, published in the city of Imzora, 71 years since the unification of the Scor.
1: Trevalus of Lyre’s synopsis of the realms of Valara entitled “since the last everyday” is a pitiful piece of elven propaganda. Trevalus pretends that he does not know why the people of Vizapur have united under their just lord and wage war against the elves. Everyone knows how elven and human civilizations work, and he just wants to ignore it. He wants to treat elves as the victims and humans as the monsters. He wants to butter up anyone that he doesn’t like, and pretend the the people his race offends are evil, but the elves are the ones who sin against God and nature daily by their deplorable institutions!
2: He mentions in passing the fact that Antellar has been “shattered,” but he speedily passes over the implications of this fact, but every one with an education and who has heard the epics know what this statement implies. The elves who, for many ages, were united into one civilization of Antellar have, in the most recent everdays, divided themselves into many city-states and, because of their desire for autonomy, the wage war, one upon another.
3: But, these elves are immortal cowards who love nothing except their own pleasure. They wouldn’t lift a finger against their enemies if it put their own life at risk, they do not fight their own wars. This very fact is the only reasons that we humans exist! We were made to fight their wars on their behalf! We were made their mortal slaves! Why should they complain when we rebel at our maltreatment? They should not! Not at all!
4: Of course, elves have, time and time again, learned that it is dangerous to have to many men, to many soldiers in their land who have a strong desire for children, who can multiply their numbers quickly and develop societies apart from their elven masters, so elven lords have developed another strategy to deal with these inadequacies. Rather than using men as their primary soldiers, they have developed a new half-breed, a half-elven race which, though it is long-lived, remains mortal, and though it is strong, is infertile. These half-elves are, more often then not, produced by the union of an immortal elven man with a mortal human woman, and only rarely by the joining of elven woman with human man. They train these half-elves from birth in the ways of war, and because these elves have no legacy to carry on, they entrust them with their wars, and they send armies of these drones one-after another to fight over tiny tracts of land, but they will not risk their own lives. They treat human woman as cattle who exist to produce these slaves, and they treat human men as cattle and use them to produce human women. They do all these things so that they may wage their petty wars, one-against-another, for scraps, and they do this while thinking that they are superior because of their immortal lives. But they don’t treat other persons with the dignity that they deserve! They do not consider any mortal to be their equal, but they treat them worse than a slave!
5: This is why the city states of Verdalliare exist! This is why they established their cities in Trical, in Crona, in Hira, in Altengrad and Auris, they have established cities all along the coast of their sea, and they have done this so that they might gather slaves for themselves, and these cities exist for the buying and selling of slaves! But the just king Nebracon has given us power so that we might fight this injustice and has pushed Verdailliare to the brink! What is it to us if he is immortal? He still treats mankind with dignity! What is it to us if some women decide to love him, he fights to liberate the slave!
6: Trevalus likes to ignore the fact that other nations resist him for the same cause. Why do you think Mitrad destroyed the slaving posts of Janus and Maris and made them the cities of Crona and Hira? It was because they were slave posts! Why did the Methurans destroy the cities of trical? Because it was through these cities that the elves stole their women! Why does Trevalus praise the cities of Auris and Altengrad? Certainly, it is because they are good slaves! Why did the cities of Antellar provide Alten with industrial technology so that it might resist the calvary of Mitrad? It was because they permitted the trade in human flesh!
7: It is the goal of Trevalus’ history to cover-up elven crimes and to smear their victims with lies because he is a supporter of this evil trade. He certainly views men as nothing more than beasts, and certainly he has benefited from the purchase of many enslaved partners. He is a slave to pleasure, he is a slave to lust, he is a slave to evil, and his wicked history of Valara ought to be called out for the defense of sin that it is!
