The Fall of Portell and the union of the peninsula:
The Peninsula of Havilund and surrounding nations often were separated and usually at arms. A war was brewing and many didn't know to even look at the horizon. Caellyra lead the first assault, few nations agreed with Caellyra and many accepted their rule and bowed to mining and taxation to fund the war effort. The war hit full and was officially named "The Caellyra War" when the nations under Caellyra's rule made a full offensive attack, overtaking Celedon and killing their king, Ryhs Sasori Yarrow. A pact was made between the remaining divided nations to retaliate and stop Caellyra at the Nartoule/Celedon border. Nearly 500 years have passed and struggles between the United Peninsula and Caellyra only escalated.
As technology advanced, so did the war. Much of the land was scorched along the peninsula of Spyridon, so many took to the sky, then the sky soon was overtaken by space.
Colonies of the poor and weak soon were made to take hold on the moons to try and mine for fuels and metals to feed the war efforts of both sides of the ongoing fight on the planet's surface. Many of those that were taken to be given colonies and made to mine were the Elemental tribes, ignorance often lead to separation of different elemental groups between different settlements, not thinking to keep a proper balance of elements. Many elemental tribes died out, those that survived grew strong and often carry tribal markings to identify themselves toward their proud Elemental heritage
The Aftermath of the Caellyra war:
10 years have passed since the last conflict and the success of the united peninsula against the Caellyra Nation. A permanent base has been set, neutral ground where no nation has rule and trade can be set up freely, a space station named New Portell, often lovingly referred to as the "Port'."
Though tensions are still on high, trade has become a way of life between the nations remaining on the planets surface, the colonies on the three moons that surround spyridon, and the neutral space station. This has lead many of the individual ship owners from the war to turn to transporting people or cargo, or even falling into a life of piracy.
Due to the ravaging of Spyridon, most races other than human have died into near extinction. Humans are aware of the past races, but hold nearly no tolerance for elves, demons, or elementals.
