Hello, everyone. Based on the answer given by the user, The WovenMantis, I decided to do my very own "World of Remnant" series for this fanfiction.
The original World of Remnant series is rightfully belong to Roosterteeth and Monty Ohm.
I do not own it, but this and any other that I thought up of are my original works and lore for my RWBY OC fanfiction. This kind of chapter will be uploaded to this fanfiction at random or unscheduled times since it is much shorter than regular chapter, and also you may imagine the narrator's voice to be a female or male, or even alien sound if you want to be weird that way, but I don't mind either way. Please leave any criticism and/or comments in the review after you read it and enjoy!
-World of Remnant OC 1-
Rise and Fall of the Round Table
Long time ago, about 500 years ago, the world of Remnant was in constant chaos. The feudal lords fought over territories and powers, hiring and using strong Huntsmen and Huntresses to fight for their cause. This resulted in shortage of food, political corruption, and shed of bloods over the lands as fear spread, not mention the onslaught by the heinous Creatures of Grimm. The people, Human and Fanus alike, were desperate when will this constant conflicts ever end. They needed a guardian. They needed hope. They needed a savior. Out of this chaos, 12 Hunters rose with unlimited and incredible powers.
The 12 Hunters, calling themselves the "Knights" fought into the conflicts, but not for power or the cause for the feudal lords, but to bring unity and peace. They demonstrated their powers, proving to other Hunters and the lords that they couldn't win and saw their conflicts to be meaningless. The 12 Knights began their work; they travelled far and wide throughout Remnant, over the lands and across the seas, spreading the message of unity, understanding of others, and peace. The feudal lords gave up their position, and eventually, the 12 Knights' ultimate goal has accomplished as they became the world's first governing body, the "Round Table."
Each Knight assigned each of them to maintain order and stability over section of lands, seas, and air throughout Remnant. Each of these sections became into the twelve kingdoms; Mistral, Vacuo, Atlas, Vale, Equinox, Polaris, Terra, Aquaria, Skyward, and others. For the next years, the Round Table maintained peace and unity over our world, becoming what will be known as "Era of Knights" in the history book and myths. However, their time of peace and unity did not last for eternity as they thought it would.
One of their fellow Knights, named "Black Knight" betrayed the Round Table. With the power over the Grimm, he launched an international campaign on each kingdom and destroyed all the kingdoms. The four remaining kingdoms; Vale, Atlas, Vacuo, and Mistral, united and led by the 4 last Knights; Red, White, Blue, and Yellow, declared war on Black Knight and his army of darkness. They succeed and defeated Black Knight, but although not killing him. They instead sealed his soul away into his own gauntlet, but before they did, the traitor said this as his last words; "You may have defeated me today, but I will be back tomorrow, in the state that we know of Remnant not same as today. My Second Coming of Darkness will fulfill where I fall."
After sealing his soul, the 4 Knights decided to hide his gauntlet, containing his soul somewhere secret where no one will find it, and only they know the location. After the war was over, they continued to maintain order, but with only 4 of them and many scars of battles left after the end of the war, instability and conflicts resumed before they fully decided to disband the Round Table and went on their separate ways. Little did they know in 500 years later, someone found the gauntlet, the very same one that Black Knight's soul sealed within it, and that person is the key to all that will happen in the future…and I am not talking about Ellix Dawn Knight. He is only part of the story...
