History
Assington developed much like many nations of Europe. Ever since man became civilised and began organising themselves into settlements and governments, there has been a rather strong unity. The first major settlement was in the central region known as Amethyst. This region contains the first and still remaining capital city of the nation. From that city, man spread throughout the nation, creating more settlements and growing in numbers. No matter the problems they had, the centre of the nation had always been Amethyst City.
After almost a thousand years, Assington had progressed immensely. The people had dropped an oligarchy system for a monarchy and so began a long line of Kings. It was around this time that the humans noticed they were not the only sentient beings inhabbiting the surrounding land. Elves existed within many forests of Assington and had been hiding their presence all this time, only revealing themselves when they chose to.
Many of the humans were wary of the elves, yet the magic using community were quick to embrace the wise beings and eager to learn from them. And so for many more decades, peace continued throughout the land. Unfortunately this was not to last.
The First War
In 1385, a terrible war broke out between humans and elves. No one knew how or why it had started, but the war was bloody and the lives of many lost upon either side. It was soon discovered by the mages that those responsible for causing the war were not of this world, but a demonic species known as the Barklor.
Acting upon counsel of the mages, the human armies ceased fighting and allowed the elves to sort out what was going on. This heralded the second stage of the war. Demons began entering their world in an attempt to wipe the elves from existence. Despite the wise words of the mages, the human King decided to stay out of such business and left the elves to fend for themselves. It took almost five years bu finally the demons were banished from Assington. Unfortunately this came at a terrible price. Thousands of elves were lost and almost all the mages died in the war, taking many of their secrets with them. Assington would never be the same.
