For centuries krypton was a peaceful culturally advanced society in all forms of art, history, science, mathematics, literature, astronomy krypton experienced great prosperity the city of Kandor, stood as the crown jewel of krypton, ruled by the great King VAR-EL and Queen Sora-JOR-ELduring this great time of peace and prosperity. The king and queen had children JOR-EL(I), KAYLA VAR-EL, ZIM-EL the citizens of Kandor were overjoyed it truly was a peaceful, time for krypton. However that joy was cut short by an invasion of people known as The Vrangs a warlike, conquering people their thirst for conquest had extended past the Jewel Mountains. They desired more… more land and more peoples loyal and subservient to them.
No people as important as the people of Kandor east of the Jewel Mountains. King VAR-EL heard stories from his father about TheVrangs how his father and other Kryptonians rose and fought against the Vrangs. Won their freedom with the use of energy crystal weapons that his grandfather had discovered Vrangs did not have any equitable resources at their disposal. The Kryptonians quickly turned the tide against them, forcing them deep within Jewel Mountains but not before the Vrangs swear to one day return and destroy all who stood in their way.
They returned so began the war Thousands died when the smoke cleared on the fourth day, of the war a group of Smalvalians Cavalry soldiers were left alive.
King Var-El, impressed by their bravery and horsemanship, requested they be incorporated into the royal military as knights to protect the Kingdom and all its citizens. And so the king alone with his knight's fight against the Vrangs as his father did before him, battle raged on for years the king and his friend and commander of his knight's sir Kent won many battles throughout the war yet lost many soldiers yet as part of a promise the king and each of his knights pledged not only indebting themselves...but also their sons, and their sons, and so on, to protect the kingdom as knights until pace was restored throughout the land and the Vrangs were vanquished or driven back from whence they came.
Therefore war continued throughout the land the Vrangs became more ruthless Bending people to their will some even believe in their cause and joined them so generation after generation the battle raged on.
Years have passed the house of EL family which now consists only of Jor-El and his wife Lara the last high king and queen of krypton. War had raged on for nearly 100 years taking families, friends and knights Jor-El and Lara and the remaining knights, fought one last battle against the Vrangs which were now lead by General Zod and his Capt. Jax-Ur. The Vrangs forces overpowered the palace which stood Kryptonopolis, after the fall of Kandor nearly a century ago. Jor-El new the kingdom would fall to Zod this night in fearing for his son's safety Jor-El asked his dearest friend commander of his knights Sir Kent to protect his son as if he were his own Sir Kent agreed. Just before leaving with the young prince Sir Kent, witnessed something remarkable the crystals, which were thought to be legend and sources of wisdom also held great power. Kent knew his friend the king was brilliant man he had found away to restore the crystals unfortunately it came too late. Jor-El placed his only son Kal-El, in the arms of Sir Kent and ordered him to run and no matter what happens protect Kal-El for the day will come when he must fulfill his destiny.
Sir Kent looked at Jor-El and Lara his two dearest friends the house of EL and the house of Kent had been friends for generations however he knew this night would be the last he ever see them again.
So in keeping with the promise that king Var-El, and his knights, made a century before they would serve the kingdom as knights until peace was restored throughout the land. One day my son you will be a night to serve the kingdom. Father what happened to the king's son? No one really knows Jim some say Sir Kent was imprisoned and released after the baby was killed. But father the young prince must be alive. (Jim's father smiles) that's enough stories for tonight it's time for bed.
