Kingdoms of Ashor Wiki



Welcome to the Kingdoms of Ashor Wiki
Ashor is a world divided by war, and hatred. A world that started a war over a thousand years ago, all for the sake of banishing magic forever. The first "Witch" that was burned sparked the bloodshed, and many people born with magical abilities were the victims, whole families burned or hanged, in fear of their magic tainted blood spreading to other generations. For a time the war was at a stalemate, those who supported the common rights for mages and thought that magic could only improve the abilities of man, and those against it, both unable to advance because their armies were just too equal.

After the first seven hundred years of war, a professional group of mage slayers was created, and they acted as a death squad, moving into cities and slaughtering the mages that were being protected. By the end of the war the number of mages had dwindled to near nothing, and that's when the darkness came. The darkness was like nothing they had ever faced before, a deity of overwhelming strength, and the essence of the void. The darkness took a host, a young mage boy, who was due to be hanged. That night, the town bore witness to a horrible thing. The slaughtering of the mage slayer death squad, and three cities worth of warriors that opposed the common rights for mages.

After a few months of nearly all the armies being destroyed, the Kingdom of Salem offered a choice. End the war, or see the destruction and ruination of those who stood against mages, and other magically talented people. Having no other choice, the enemy kingdoms signed a peace treaty. After the war the kingdoms broke into five huge nations, each claiming ownership of a Continent on Ashor.

It has been two hundred years since the end of the war, families are rebuilding, and countries are mending. Trade routes are being reforged, yet the people remain uneasy. Fear boils up. Mage Haven and the "Darkness" that they have allied themselves with know that the once enemy kingdoms will strike again, and with ways to defeat their protector. The king tries to offer hope to his country, by have fair laws, and jobs for the people, reducing starvation, and homelessness, but it's not enough.

Mages are forbidden in a lot of countries, however Mage Have just as the name states, welcomes them with open arms, and is the only country with a state of the art mage tower, which offers training, lodging and friendship to those seeking a new life without threat of death. The mage tower is in the capital city of Arcadia, next to the grand bone and ivory castle of King Vlex Adams IV.
