Why don't we create a background story for Dwilight based on our collective hero Characters? We each throw in our characters' bios as well as some story elements then when its all done we can conbine and edit it in the background story suggestion page [1] Throw in your character bios and try to tie it in with the national orgin of the contry that you made the banner for. Later on I will compile them into a single cohesive background story. The ones I'm giveing for all but Morek are just suggestion.Here are my elements:

(History)The Guntor Kings; Apathetic Masters The Guntors are the indigudous people of Dwilight. They are known for the grey skin tones aswell as their distrust and disloyalty. Before the people from the eastern continants came, they lived disunified in non-familial, despotic tribes constantly battleing each other. In later centuries, kingdoms emerged all over Dwilight and the Age of Apathy began, lasting for a mellinia, the Guntors got on with thier lives with little concern. Migrants from many of the contanants trickled in and were seen by the guntor as inferior. The Easterners led many rebelions due to the exploitation of the Guntor.

(Nation)Springdale; Icy resolve:( left vague) of the 4 nations of Dwilight, Springdale is known for its resistance of Guntar overlordship during the Age of Apathy. Although it was a constant strugle to keep itself Eastern from both inside and out, It's prolific fields remained apart from tight fisted Guntor hands.

(Nation)Pian en Luries; The Ignored Ones: (left vague) Pian is a harsh land, protected by mountain, sand, and unfriendly neighbor from the clutches of the Guntor. The Guntor have made a place for themselves in Pian but it was by merit, not hostile force. The Guntor here are so in name only, as most are so interbred with the Easterners.

(Nation)Morek; Celestial Rise: Morek was ruled harshly by the Guntor and rebellion was commonplace. The guntor treated the foregners as filth and cheap labour. During one rebellion an omen was sighted, 3 red stars shown bright in the western sky. The major faction of the rebels placed these on their banner, and defeted the Guntor at the village of Armstock. The story spread quickly and soon the whole region was in rebellion. after many victories the state of Morek was established, and the bloodstars evolved into a psuedo-religion, made holy and consitered good luck. now that Morek is on its feet, it seeks to make its way west, twards the Bloodstars, to some yet unknown holyland. Moreker knights are known to wear long-skirted surcoats with waist high slits up the sides rather than the front and back. Even those that afford to wear plate harnesses wear mid-calf legnth skirt over thier flaud.

(Nation)Medina; Glorius West: Medina was established after the Guntor had fallen from power for the wayward migrants from the east that continued to flood into Dwilight. It now seeks more liveing space for its people by opening up the west to Colonization.

(History)The BloodStars; Fall of the Guntar: THe age of Apathy came to a close as a strange constellation appeared in the sky. 3 red stars peirced through the night sky. THese stars did not move across the sky like the others, but stayed over the western lands of Dwilight. Due to their static nature they are not vissable from the other parts of the world. The Bloodstars as they came to be known wax and wane unpredictably, usually appearing twice a year. Some while after their apperance, many Guntor went mad for unknown reasons. Some became so insane that the ones inpower could not contain them and the Guntor kingdoms collapsed into many minor factions. Those in the eastern island were absorbed or repelled by the Easterners. Most of the mad Guntor are now dead and the Guntor are slowly comming back to power in the west, soon to feast on the vacuum of power.

(Hero)Deverka "the cloudly" Cryfdwr: Deverka of the Cryfdwr family was a migrant from Atamara. Born an albino he has become known as "the cloudly" among the people of Morek. During the great rebellions he held the village of Armstock agenst a greater Guntor host, rallying the local villagers with the image of the Bloodstars apon his coat of arms. He professed that the Bloodstars were an omen that he claims to be a devine sign that Moreks time to rise had come. He is now hailed a national hero by the people of Morek. Deverka's Black and gray coat of arms has been adapted by the people of Morek to green and red, and made the national colors.

(Religion)Sanguisastroism Sanguisastroism is the religion surrounding the Bloodstars, a static constelation the in sync over the western island of Dwilight and is the official religion of Morek. Sanguisastroism does not contain a creation myth, or god. However the Bloodstars are reviered as a source of luck, purity, and devine retribution on oppressors. Among others they are an ill omen of pestilance, famine, and degeneration. It is widely beleived, even outside Sanguisastroism, that the stars cause insanity amoung the Guntor and the stars are detested by them.--Devercia 01:56, 5 October 2007 (CEST)

Well, I have the RP of Madina worked quite out, the Realm founders i wish to RP have built the city them selves after 'acidently' bumping up against this new land.

They are mutinies caught up in a storm which led them to Madina. --Vlad 09:09, 5 October 2007 (CEST)

Ha, good idea, Devercia. Let me have a go.

(Nation)Pian en Luries: Pian en Luries is a realm of great pain and the power has constantly switched between the Guntor and the Easterners. The peasants constantly latch on to whoever is currently winning in a desperate hope the Pien en Luries will become a stable kingdom, however movement for a different type of stability grows stronger. The people of the Pien of Luries favour light armour and people tend to be very skilled with knives and bows. The people there love art and pottery and it is something of great value. Because of the hills and rough lands. Guerrilla tactics are often used and face to face combat is a rare sight.

(Hero)Kaennji Shenron: Kenji grew up through hard times. He was constantly watching men die of the Sanctum of Casshern as his father, Kazuma, who did all he could to defend. Because of this Kazuma sent him away to a safe place in Greater Aenilia. Here, Kenji was tutored by one of the founders of Greater Aenilia. Lord Luyten, Arch-Priest of Greater Aenilia, Duke of Nahad. Lord Luyten and his father were on very bad grounds with each other and Kenji learned from both men quite a lot, this turned him into a very diverse person. He found himself able to see many sides of things, however Kenij grew tired of being constantly rejected when his father didn't let him come back every year, and Luyten's ideas were stressing his teenage feelings, so he decided to explore Idapur, the capital of Greater Aenilia, a bit. During this, he found himself wondering on the far beaches of Idapur. Here he saw a ship anchored not far off shore. Shortly after, he saw men approaching him... and everything went black.

Next thing he knew he was on a boat to a place the men called Dwilight. Apparently these men were rebels in a realm called the Pien en Luries. These men brought him to Dwilight and gave him a briefing of the situation. Kenji, being one of the few nobles with the rebels, took leadership of them, he renamed himself as Kaennji to make a statement of his dedication, and they were introduced as a new force. Not the Guntors or the Easterners, they became the Freedom Fighters and promised stability to the Pien of Luries.
