Golden Sun: Reborn
Part 1: The Age of Men
(prologue)
"If Alchemy were to be unleashed, what would we do? Would we use it to increase our further knowledge of the world, or would we use it for power, and to raise armies?"
Section1: Of Angara and the Age of Peace:
Those words still stuck with Issac over all of these years. What he believed to be the answer to that question was apparently true. Wayward had become what everyone who was told that feared: It has become a battlefield.
Issac had thought of this for a while. Even if it were to come true, Issac wouldn't have to worry about it. Or at least that was what he thought before he returned to Angara. Shortly after returning, he was chosen to be the King of Angara. Now, it is everything Issac had to worry about.
Issac had no choice but to raise an army. Soon, he created an army; millions of men were drafted into the army. Felix was elected to be the Knight Commander, Ivan elected as Strategist, and Garet as head of the Guard.
Felix found, drafted, and trained every man who he thought were worthy enough to be in the army. His attitude made him a feared general in the Angaran ranks but surprisingly, most of the Angaran men were loyal to him.
Ivan became Strategist soon after Issac was made king. Issac chose him himself. Ivan became a master at archery when he became Strategist. He leads the Angaran archers into battle.
Garet traveled South of Angara into Northern Gondowan. He found a small valley North of Suhalla during his travels. He found a group of able-bodied men who he used to drive out a group of Gondowans from the land. He claimed Northern Gondowan and it became a part of Angara. The valley where he found his men, he named it Glory Hills and that are now where he resides.
So Angara became a powerful country. The land was peaceful until power rose in the South.
Section2: Of Atteka and the Royal Family
Remmy, a man who was thought to be of Lemurian Royal Blood, became the King of Atteka three years after Jupiter Lighthouse was lit. He raised a small army of mercenaries from islands from the South and rangers from Atteka.
The strongest were made captains. These men included Raven, a spearman born and raised in Atteka, the swordsman Crout, Raven's younger brother, and Wallace, a man made for one purpose: war.
Remmy soon got married and bore a son who he named Liam. As Liam grew up, he loved hunting birds with the bow and arrow. At the age of 10, he was made heir to the throne and received his official Attekan bow. Liam himself trained a group of archers at the age of 10 and they became skilled more than any in the world.
Atteka became a country of some fame.
Section3: Of Osenia and the Dictatorship
The small country of Osenia was thought to be a small, peaceful country, until the mayor of Alhafra declared Osenia a Dictatorship. He raised a powerful army of strong, fearless men.
He brought fear to Osenia and most of the Great Eastern Sea. A man named Selm did not stand for it. He himself was a soldier of Osenia. When he was ordered to lead an attack on Atteka, he refused and was banished from Osenia.
Selm sneaked back into Osenia and got his brother, Kwindler to help him charge into the mayor's mansion. Together, they slew most of the mayor's best men and assassinated the mayor. Selm became leader of Osenia. He kept the mayor's army for himself but used his new power for good.
Selm continued to raise his army and though his idea of ruling was through Dictatorship, the people enjoyed their lives.
Section4: Of the Emperor
A man of Indra became very popular in Southern Wayward. He was voted to be a ruler of Indra but he strangely refused. Issac stepped in and after getting to know the man, he decided to give him a chance to prove himself to the world to be a leader.
The man and his son were voted to be the "leader" of Wayward. Many years in the process, he became so popular that he became Emperor. He ruled everything.
Section5: Of Indra and the Rise of the Tyrant
Indra rose in power suddenly and the economy improved rapidly, faster than any other country. Madra's mayor, Hamen, led it. An army was raised and Indra soon became as powerful as Angara. Hamen recruited many strong officers, including Atteka's Raven. Hamen threatened Remmy that if he didn't hand Raven over he would attack. As Hamen grew, he became greedier. His new power was beneficial to only him and he put fear into those who lived in South Wayward.
Hamen bore a son as soon as possible to have an heir, whom he named Iden. Iden was immediately trained as a soldier. He became famous in the Indran ranks; not from his fighting skill but from his humorous attitude towards the men. His own father feared him…
Hamen's tyranny spread fear into Wayward. The people believed that the only thing holding his attack back is Hamen's fear of the Emperor and Angara.
Section6: Of Monarchy in Gondowan
Gondowan was thought to be a savage country with no ethnic values at all. However, soon after Hamen became king of Indra, a man born and raised in Gondowan traveled to Angara and to everyone's surprise, he wanted to learn from Issac himself. Issac agreed.
After three years of being educated in Angara, the man returned to his country, Gondowan, and Issac decided to elect the man as king of Gondowan. After many arguments, it was decided, the man was the new king.
Section7: Of Hesperia and the idea of Theocracy
Hesperia was a country dedicated to their religious affairs. Many fights broke out until it was decided; Moapa became head of the shamans and was thereafter known as the Shaman King. He then elected various men to train in the arts of black magic who became shamans themselves.
Moapa came up with the idea of having Hesperia as a Theocracy government, religious rulers lead. Though the Emperor quickly refused, Moapa would not give up his dream of his.
Section8: Of Prox, the isles of Wayward, and Lumeria's Mightiest Warrior
Prox, the frozen wastelands of the North, population drastically increased after the lighthouses were lit. Around three years after Saturos and Mernardi were reportedly dead, they amazingly returned to their hometown. Saturos was made the current leader of the Proxians and soon formed an army. Most of the Proxian population was drafted into the army. Saturos soon attacked Angara without warning. He was defeated in less than a week and most of the Proxians were wiped out. Saturos still lived and is still plotting the downfall of Angara.
Now there were three islands in Wayward that controlled an army, the partnership of Apojii Islands and Izumo known as the Allied Powers in the Great Eastern Sea and Kalt Island in the Great Western Sea. The Allied Powers were long friends of Angara and Osenia and never got into any fights nor did they dare to. Osenia soon betrayed their allies and attacked, destroying both islands' leader. Kalt Island had been neutral and happy until Hesperia forced them to become "allies." Kalt began to increase their army's numbers and spread the idea of Anarchy. The people of Kalt were happy for the time being.
Lemuria was hidden away until the lighthouses were lit. The fog dispersed into the rest of Wayward and soon disappeared. Piers returned to his homeland and wanted Lemuria to be as strong as Angara. To do this he needed King Hydros permission. He denied and Piers was banished for the idea of raising an army. A couple of years later, he returned to Lemuria and assassinated King Hydros. He became the new ruler of Lemuria and raised an army. He asked Angara's Felix to "visit" him. Felix never returned from Lemuria.
