Story
Before you join the world of 4Story, you should have a good understanding about the historical background that is fundamental to every encounter you will be facing. And to better understand the story, it can be explained in four different stages in the timeline: the Age of Creation, the Age of Settlement, the New Era and the Age of War.
<The Age of Creation: About 3000 before Queen Blid Blonead>
At the time when heaven and earth were not separated and there were no beginnings and ends, Leya the goddess with light and hope pursued the value in harmony and life while the other god, Bergelius did not. The antagonism between the two gods exploded in a form of war in which the goddess lost and brought herself into imprisonment under Bergelius. However, even in the darkness, she generated the interaction between heaven and hell which now we call day and night. Upon her creation on water, air and fire, the goddess created various continents, vegetation and diverse creatures in the world – one of the continents was given the name “Andaron” which was the beginning of Iveria.
However, even under the protection of the eight protection gods commanded by Leya, the Mu – the inhabitants – were convinced to be the part of the Reign of the Shadows by Parakelius sent by Bergelius to threaten the peace created by Leya. The major flood created by the eight protection gods swept the evil beings and at the same time, left the few survivors with no choice but to find their new habitats in the island Britron. The tragedy did not stop as Parakelius turned the survivors into beasts which later formed themselves into the Rahu – the militant tribe of the island.
<The Age of Settlement: CA. 3000 – 0 before Queen Blid Blondead>
Bergelius became the ruler of the Rahu and gained power over Andaron with the use of the dragon Kameria and black-winged demons. Countless inhabitants lost their lives under the harsh ruling of Bergelius.
In Andaron, there were several clans and they were Werebeasts, Humans, Fairies and Elves. While Parakelius was convincing the inhabitants to join the force, some did not fall for it and they gained themselves with the title of the Mu clan. The alternative title for the Elves was the Bon-Tuna clan and they were against accepting changes and valued traditions. As hundreds of years went by, the Werebeats and the Mirhur clan – the alternative title for Fairies became alliances with each other. Also with the Humans – the Parholn clan, these clans could not avoid fighting against each other over their conflicts and yet, they had the common idea that the only way to survive was to get along for the peace. And later, these clans resisted together against the Rahu. Such a peaceful period of time could not last long enough after the sword Krawendyn full of dark powers appeared and led them to battles.
The battles lasted until the sword was finally destroyed by the eight protection gods of Leya, however, once they caused another flood to wipe the regions, the result left the survivors with no choice but to live a nomadic life. And yet, the complete peace did not come to the world.
<The New Era: 0 – 85 after Queen Blid Blondead>
The world entered a new era by the foundation of the kingdom “Iveria” by Queen Blid Blonead. Overcoming the difficulties in the beginning of the foundation, the defense of the kingdom was built stronger and life had improved for the people. However, even during such a peaceful moment, there was a rise of military tension between regions of Iveria which had to be solved with, after the involvement of the Queen, dividing the kingdom into different regions. The Rahu once again invaded, threatening the peace with the power of horror. Under the dark times, a heroic warrior Arian Horus succeeded in gathering troops to fight against the dark force of Bergelius, throwing them out of the kingdom, however, the hero and the Queen dropped from sight of everyone.
<The Age of War: 85 after Queen Blid Blondead - Present>
The Age of War is the age continuing in the present time. After the mysterious missing of the two figures, the kingdom had no more royal offspring and could not avoid the division into four territories. The rulers of the four territories were Neban Maha, Ruard Lopesa, Edgar Seher and Uma Plutak. These four advisors from the missing Queen, instead of peacefully leading the regions, sought for more power and eventually resulted in Edgar Seher leaving to the southern area where he established “Broa”.
To fight against the government, the rebellious troops with Armin of Remperd as the leader occupied the city of Lezina. However, even after the challenges, the historically recorded incident occurred – “The Night of the Black Moon Massacre” where about 20,000 rebellious soldiers lost their lives to the government force. The leader survived through the massacre but for this particular incident, there is an unclarified rumor about Arian Horus, suspecting his involvement.
While Broa was under King Tristan’s rule, Ruard Lopesa – one of the rulers – ended up taking over the territory in the east “Craxion” and meanwhile, “DeFugel” was handed over to Neban Maha. These two figures differed from each other in their ideologies. To the ruler of Craxion of the eastern territory, the possession of power was more valuable over the people’s welfare, whereas, the ruler of DeFugel of the Western territory sought more value in providing needed support for the people and organizing a faithful military force with valuable discipline. These two rulers, while Broa invested more on mercenary, were unable to stop the military tension against each other as they both insisted themselves to be the emperors. An unexpected war broke out when Neban Maha killed the men who were ordered directly by Ruard Lopesa to visit the kingdom to collect taxes. Ironically, this war that broke out due to the taxes, laid a burden on the people of DeFugel as Neban Maha tried to collect more taxes from them to invest in his military force.
The long fight finally came to a pause upon the co-agreement from both sides after the military force of Craxion had failed to dominate the capital castle of DeFugel. Another military tension broke out as the ruler of DeFugel suspected that there was support provided from Broa for Craxion, and ordered to attack, however, shortly after the king of Broa confirmed his kingdom’s stance to be neutral once again, the force of Craxion retreated. However, this incident triggered Broa to build their army in the end.
Yet, Broa succeeded in protecting its stance between the two kingdoms and surviving as a trading partner for both at the same time. Despite the co-agreement to pause the war, the tension was not completely solved between the two kingdoms, creating a border and disbanding their trading relationship. However, after another ceasefire between the two kingdoms, they re-established their trade and started making profits in natural resources, tools (DeFugel), magic potions (Craxion), etc.
New military forces are being organized by the two kingdoms even at this point and no one has any clue on when this unstable peaceful moment can be broken once again.
