What Has Happened!?

…

October 21st, 999

The skies of Sacrania filled with breezing wind. It is the continent where the great empire of Sacranopolis stands on the planet. Over one hundred million people comprised of many races and clans lived within the land. Lead by two major races: Humans and Dragonians, the empire stands unshaken by anything.

All preparations are complete, so said the Dragonians. What are they preparing?

Defenses, they said.

The humans wondrously asked again, for what purpose they do so, for the empire was in a peaceful state. Their emperor announced that he will protect everyone living within the borders of Sacranopolis Empire, but with no further information on whom were they defending against. He believed that commoners had no necessary need to know the hectic he and his officials are facing.

“They better to not know,” so said the emperor.

The emperor proudly showed his state of the art Imperial Army. His army comprised of powerful knights, warriors, mages, and elementalists. Combined altogether with his dragon allies, he’s utmost sure that he will succeed in protecting the empire. He had the greatest confidence one may find among many world leaders.

Many magical barriers were built in many points covering the continent. Defensive towers and outposts were also built to further bolster their strength. With the dragon race that can morph into humanoid-like form, they may blend alongside the human race to help each other. 

The Dragonians knew who were they fighting, but not for the humans, they were left with unanswered questions. Even so, they put a great belief in their emperor, thinking that everything shall be alright. Their trust to the emperor was so massive and dedicative, until the point that not a single spy or eavesdropper is found trying to expose the truth.

…but all of those preparations went all into waste. A loud vociferous burst of energy disarrayed them all.

The world suffered a gigantic change known as the Dimensional Impact. This phenomenon shatters the world order and merged one world with another, thus forming a new world order. The continent of Sacrania has changed, merging with another world’s continent. But instead of getting larger, it got smaller.

The people living in both worlds have changed. Some disappeared and some remained in the merged world. Civilizations in both worlds were stumbled enormously and nearly caused a major chaos throughout the world’s lands, but soon to be quelled by the existing world leaders from both worlds.

However, the Sacranopolis Emperor nearly suffered a breakdown as what he had prepared for years have gone into complete zero. The capital city has changed with a city that he had never seen before, what makes matter worse was that the capital city was filled with nothing but total emptiness. There’s not a single life form either from his world or the other world. 

Fortunately, his grieving concern was soon to be healed as there were some Dragonians who remained in the merged world being scattered far away. There were also some remains of the once readied Imperial Army and some parties from his world. They soon reformed in the ghost city of once which known as Sacranopolis’ capital city.

With the calamity going on, the emperor still greatly concerned for the incoming attack from those he didn’t mention. He knew that his preparations were gone and now he must do something about it. With limited resources and time, he made a decision to protect even the merged world.

He gathered the strongest of the strongest available: elementalists either from the humans or the dragons. He commanded them to go into kingdoms, cities, and towns so that they may help him protect the land.

To distinct the people of the original world and the other world that merged with theirs, they’ve come up with an agreement that these two worlds shall be called differently.

The world where the emperor and his remnants originated from are to be called ‘Gaia’. 

While the other world that merged with theirs now called ‘Tellus’.

Even with the naming, still causes inevitable conflicts around the distorted realms.

Among his desperation, two men suddenly appeared before him, one he had known before and another he had never met before. The emperor knew one of them had a great ability in terms of command and control, despite his bad relation with him. The two men reassured that they will help him out in this dark hour. The emperor, who can no longer keep his composure, agreed and made one of them as commander of the eastern continent.

However, many Dragonians and humans warned him about accepting strangers into his fold, especially the man he trusted as commander, but he had no other choice. He MUST defend the merged world he lives in and if possible, he wants to return to his previous world.

The emperor also found out that the explorer clan of Areda remained in this world. He then gathered them all and forced them to return back to their home island far to the south, saying that they must take shelter until further notice.

A few months later, specifically December 24th, 999

The commander that the emperor accepted made an insane action that led into a far more disastrous conflict. What makes matter worse was that the commander was also a Dragonian, which instilled the generalization of Dragonians are tyrants. 

Indeed, the people of the other world called him as a tyrannical warmonger, in spite of his façade of being the Imperial commander. This made an unsettling situation between both worlds’ civilization and thus caused a massive conflict. That conflict…

…literally ignited a war right in the New Year’s Eve.

In the 1st of January, year 1000, the war rages between the people of Gaia and the people of Tellus within the Dimensional Impact calamity merged world.
