The Lore and History of Fordor

THE HISTORY AND LORE OF FORDOR
Fordor was a Forest long ago. It went with the name of Bomenveld. Meaning field of Trees. The reason Fordor got this name was because it was filled with trees and life, it was the place where multiple lumberjacks came to collect wood and survive the cold nights and the unforgiving days. It was a place that everyone could go and rest. Eventually people came there to live and start families. These people would call themselfs Fordorian People, these were different races that united to survive. People started making houses. Walls and more, the forest slowly lost its identity and became a Fortress.

 The War and Warrior 

War was common in this world, because of War people devolped new weapons like fire arrows and fire bombs. This new type of warfare burned down an entire forrest in days. The wood suplies were becoming more limited as each day passed. Dark clouds that blocked the sun. As if the World was turning into a sea of fire. Multiple people realised how much wood Fordor still had, they were desperate and needed more. The Fordorian people saw that and rained down arrows on those who are considerd threats.As time is passing, breathing became harder and the atmosphere felt empty and dark. One day a wise warrior named Shion requested the people of Fordor open the gates. The people of Fordor didnt trust her, and sent multiple soldiers to fight the mysterious warrior. But it showed that she was something else, she said that she was above all races and clans. When the first soldier tried to strike her down she dodged the attack and with only one punch broke several of the Soldiers ribs. The other soldiers tried to confront the warrior but the General of the army orderd them to stop. He said that he wanted to discuss matters and wanted to know who she truely was. As they both tried to get a conversation with eachother, She said that the General has to sit down, because she doesnt like to be looked down. The general listend to her and sat down.

 The Prideful Demi-God 

She said, the reason why I am here is to help you mortal beings, she said how terrible everything around her looked around her and that has to change. She also said that they should cut down more trees so they can replant more trees and try to save more people of this world. She was very honest and said that the world was beautiful but that people who live on it are terrible, she did tell her identity. She was a Demi-God, Her mother was the God of Pride and her Father was an angel with a broken Halo. She was extremely prideful and saw herself above everyone, except her own parents. And her name is Shino, she never told her real name because she thinks us creautres dont deserve it. She would help us with the Fire if we made a religon. She wanted the name. Follower of Shion. We accepted her offer. She helped us by a lot, her powers helped us regrow trees faster and more efficient. We also became less hostile and accepted people that needed help. The god Shino did want a lot of praise, and that is kind of annoying. But we have to accept fate and move forward. Fordor became a place where people of all Kingdoms could get accepted and get a home. It was very democratic. The only one who was above everyone was ofcourse Shino. As the flames of this world died down and the light of the sun surpassed, as it seems peace came toour world again. Shino saw what we have accomplished. She said that maybe we arent the people who she tought we would be and was happy. She left us next day. A note leaving behind saying that we should fight for what we are meant to be. As vague as it sounds, I understood her. The last 5 years everything seemed normal.

The Battle of Fates

Until the Horizon showed many dark figures. We first tried a peaceful approach but as it seems they werent here for peace. They were here to take our land and slaugther our people. We hadnt fought in a war a long time, but that doesnt mean were prepared. As the hours went by. Silence remained. Until the Sun went down. They charged with everything they had and we fired everything we did. Is this what Shino meant with the note. Defending our home, or fighting this battle. As the battle continued both sides both extreme losses. As I walked, the rain was a pure shade of blood. The ground was full of dead bodies and weapons. As I tried to regain my senses. I just couldnt believe what is happening around me. As it seems, the last guy I met was a part of the enemy. I said why, what did we do to you? He didnt awnser, as we both raised our Weapons. We were both tired. And only a few strikes decided the outcome. While he fell to the ground, I lost lots of blood. I was trying to escape this nightmare as I was surrounded with Fire. I left everything. As I walked miles, I would eventually come across a village.

 A Beginning and Ending I Didnt know 

That had the same race as the ones in Fordor. I tried speaking to them but they didnt trust me so I dropped my damaged armor, sword and healing potions. They trusted me and made me awnser lots of questions. Like how I can speak their language, or why I look like that. They seem to realise what I needed. They offerd me a home, where I had to work all day long getting fish. But at least they were nice. I was accepted there, heck I even got a girlfriend named Anokishi. As it seems we had a lot of things in Common and we loved eachother a lot. Life was again peaceful, but I still felt some part of me is still not complete. After we were married I told her that I want to go back to Fordor, from where I came from. We had a heavy argument about if thats really the right choise. I told her that I will still send her letters and always love her, she said yes but as I went I realised, was this really the right thing to do. What did Shino tell me? That was more than 10 Years ago..... Sigh what have I become. I couldnt be a father because our Races cant breed with eachother. As I went back to the Fordor I saw a figure, that looked very similair.

 My Mistake and Beginning 

It was Shino, she told me why I left. I said that I came back after all this time. She said why didnt you come back for them, everything that made this place special. Species were together, all gone. This place has no importance anymore, she said that this doesnt matter anymore. I had to kneel because I couldnt look her in the eyes. As I cried, I apologized countless times and never wanted this to happen. She said that doesnt matter anymore, things are getting destroyed or rebuilt because thats what you low creatures are good at. Is this what she meant, we should fight for what were meant to be. It isnt about the fighting but about protecting the ones you care about. I see, you were right. I wont make the same mistake again. Shino said, I hope so. Or else your just like the rest of the bastards I have killed. If you can start over and show me that your just more that this, then I wont be dissapointed. Yes Shino I said, she left just like all those years ago. I slowly rebuild Fordor and it became something more. Something better, I have also send everyday letters to my Love Anokishi, and some people helped me and became citizens of Fordor. Fordor slowly began growing and gaining more people. Only time will tell if it will go back to its former Glory. As I am writing the world is rapidly changing. And together we could preventing wars and become the things were meant to be.
