Prehistory (Northeros)

History of the ’human’ minifigs before the founding of the Empire

In the beginning, humanity was the same as dungan or beastmen, only with less fur. They lived in tribes, scattered, and weak. During these times, many things threatened the minifigs, natural, unnatural, and supernatural alike. Humanity almost faced extinction. Then, a hero emerged. His name was Zahru.

Zahru’s origins fade to the past. One thing’s for sure: with his emergence, humanity could survive his early years. Zahru wandered around the world, helping always who needed aid. Many tales tell about his great deeds. In one, he saved a village from a dungan warband, by teaching them how to use bow and arrows, so the villagers could cover him while fighting. In another, he fought against a dozen of trolls, slaying them all by himself. During the fight, he bathed in their blood, and gained troll strength and the ability to regenerate. His left arm was warped and became troll-like as well. Apart from these stories he slowly began to elevate from a warrior hero to a divine being in public consciousness. His most greatest deed was the legend of vanquishing the evil spirit known as Warhead; for this he gathered the best warriors from everywhere and forged an army. With their aid, Zahru could defeat the dark hordes and severely wounding Warhead; he sealed him in a mountain which he then hidden underground. The survivors of the battle were given demigod-like powers by Zahru, who left Medivo behind afterwards. Zahru’s existence is still a matter of debate, but many hope that when humanity will face great danger that would threaten its existence, Zahru would return from the past and kick ass.

After the tribal ages, humans reached medieval tek, and thus began the Age of Factions. Many different houses and clans ruled in these days, loose alliances were made and broken every day. It was a time of strife and confusion. Humanity's new foe was itself. Many houses became powerful nobility later, such as the Lionmanes, the Wolfbanes, and the Crowclaws.

This age of strife ended with the coming of the Majistik. They were mighty wizards, all of them masters of different domains. They gathered some of the lesser houses, and reformed them as their own army: the Dragontalons. Asides from men, Majistiks had dragons; mighty green firedrakes. With an army of their own, the Majistik declared war on all factions: thus began the War of Unification.

While the war was raging, the Majistik did many things. They created ley lines of power, with which they could tame and channel the streams of magic; they also built countless monoliths throughout the world to serve as focus points where magic energies could be stored. Also, they left behind many laboratories; most places haven't been discovered so far.

The War of Unification ended with Dragontalon victory. However, instead of making everyone their vassals, the Majistik united the houses and established the united human kingdom, which would be known as the Empire of Northeros. After that, the Majistik mysteriously left, giving the reins of fate into Imperial hands.
