 History 

In ancient days when Hallowism was first being found a group of scavengers in the mountains built a shrine to the sun and sacrificed there fallen enemies for power. This barbaric tribe was often found unstoppable in the light of day where they would use a divine strength given to them from their sacrifices to build pieces of art and great structures. By nightfall the tribe was prepared for battle and went out to kill all of the moons demons that had risen and sacrifice the bodies to the sun. During this time of barbaric tribes a group found out that by becoming empowered at night they may be able to kill far more demons, however this lead them to eventually worshiping the blood god of war an ally with the moon god. Though it did power the barbarians through the night they were also tasked with opening a portal to hell. The portal though hidden far underground was still felt by the shaman of the tribe and had an investigation done to find and kill anyone that knew about this demonic power. Eventually most of the blood god worshiping tribes members were killed and the portal was found and destroyed.

The first ruler of Tarnos Kisip II an ancestor of the current king Kipzilla one day discovered this tribe of people and began to befriend them. Though some did not agree with the new teachings of Kisip, though he was able to convince enough of the tribesmen and passing travelers to crown him king. The new king had power over the shaman and found it to be a good idea to reactivate the broken portal to hell hoping to find numerous benefits in the underworld. As the generations advanced Tarnos became more and more powerful of a town constructing more houses and shops until it became a small trade center.
