Introduction

Our world is not like that of old, we do not travel freely between our lands. As one used to ride from Greece to Rome, we cannot ride from Solaris to Urich. Our children do not face the issue whether to frolic with another race of human, but rather to mingle with another from a different species. The planets of nine have become one since the others arrived. Earth was no longer left to only harbor its own species, now she host for those from planets no longer stable. Some came to us seeking salvation, while others sought after conquest. Things went well with all except for the Marxians, they were the beginning of the end. The Marxians were of enormous stature and strength, and all they spoke of was war and conquest. A meeting was held between the kings or worlds and all were in favor of a peaceful division except the Marxian leader. His opposition was taken lightly and the others began to claim their territories. The Urichs and Mecanes were to live along the Equator, Neptanians and Plunes take the North and South Poles. Due to their vast number the Venochs were given what was the Asian continent. Those from Jutanis were given the Americas, they seemed very fond of the Hawaiian territories. To Satisfy the Marxian greed they were allowed to mangle Europe as the saw fit and comfortable. To stay within out Earthly roots we the Humans claimed Africa as our homeland as it is the origin of our existence. The divisions all seemed well for a decade until we received a distress vessel from the Urich Territories. The messengers were blood soaked and weary, and their boat seemed to be floating on a miracle. They begged us for help as the Marxian Nation had declared war on the Urichs and ravaged their lands. We sent two warrior ships to investigate and what we saw no only betrayed the treaty, but it went against all that was right in our world. The proud Urich people had become ravenous flesh hungry beings devoid of cognitive thought. They had been stripped of all resources and forced to feed upon the animals and eventually each other. In anticipation of the Marxian Conquest the capital of Solaris was created as a safe haven for those under attack. Over the years Solaris has grown strong from its diverse population ranging from Humans to anti-war Marxians. The years have also led way to alliances between the lands. Solaris now bands with Mercanus and Plune to face the Marxian alliance with Urich, Venoch, and Sate. The lands of Jutanis, Neptain, and Lunaria stay neutral to the war, but our king makes haste to convince them to join us. Tomorrow we set out to sign with Lunaria, and I only hope we can ease the minds of Juntanis and Neptain before the Marxians.
