The world is divided into four lands. The Northland, Westland, Eastland,
and Southland. The race of Man lives in the Southland. They used to live
in the Northland until their loss in the First War of the Races. 
They felt ashamed and migrated to the southland(beneath rainbow lake)
to hide from any involvementwith the other races. 
Only few humans did otherwise. Their cities were known as the border states
of Callahorn. Other humans dwell outside of the Southland in minor
villages. (These villages are ruled by the Federation for this game).
But still the bulk of the human population lives in the deep south. Most
of them have never even seen another race.

The Elves are the oldest civilization. They live in Westland and have lived
there since the begining of time. They have a powerful economy and the
strongest army in the world.They are ruled by the King Eventine 
Elessedil who all elves love.

The Dwarves and Gnomes live in the Eastland. The Gnomes in the upper half
and the Dwarves in the lower half. They are almost at constant war. The
Dwarves used to be the powerhouse of the region until they were crushed
in the Second War of The Races. Now the Gnomes populate most of the 
Eastland.
The Gnomes are tribal and warlike. They have a very weak economy and
their tribes are divided. But the Gnomes always band together when at
war with the Dwarves.

In the North are the Trolls. They used to live only in mountains but
when the humans left they moved into the area.They act much like the
Gnomes do. Tribal and agressive. The Trolls hate the Elves but are 
currently at peace with them.

*History*
After the Great wars, the world was in chaos. Then the Druids formed, led by Galaphile. Their goal was to bring back lost sciences and help develope the world. Scholars from all over the world and from every race came to join the druids. The resided at Paranor. Soon they discoverd the arts of magic. The magic perverted a druid named Brona. He gatherd his closest followers and gatherd and army of men and tried to conquer the world. Druids banded with the other races and defeated Brona. This was the first war of the Races.

Many years past. Druids now despised magic, except for Bremen. For 
this he was expelled from Paranor. But the Druids now weren't as 
active as the Druids in the past. They weren't involved with the races.
When Bremen was exiled he learned many things while traveling the world.
Brona and his followers had returned, only now Brona was a spirit called
the Warlock Lord, sustained only by magic. His druid followers had 
ben perveted into creatures called Skull Bearers. They commanded deadly
magic. With their magic, the Warlock Lord and his creature conquered
the trolls in the North by fear. The trolls were horrified of magic
so they joined Brona. So did the Gnomes, who were small at the time.
Bremen discoverd all of this and went to warn the Druids. The Druids
laughed at him and kicked him out. Only a couple of his friends believed
him and left Paranor with him. These Druids went out to warn the world
of what was to come. The Northland army struck Paranor first. All the
Druids there were slaughterd. The Elves were warned of this by Bremen.
They believed him and were about to mobilize their army when their
King was assisinated by a Skull Bearer. After Paranor, Brona marched his
army East to destroy the Dwarves. The Dwarves fought extremly well but
were completely outnumberd. And with no help from the Elves, they couldn't
win. Brona destroyed their country but couldn't destroy the Dwarven
army, when it escaped. So the WarlockLord marched West for the Elves.
By now Jerle Shannara was crowned King. Bremen made a sword for Jerle
called The Sword of Shannara. This was created with the last of the 
Druid magic. It was the only weapon powerful enough to kill the spirit
of Brona. If Brona wasn't destroyed, he would return again with and army.
The Elves, like the Dwarves, were outnumber by incredible odds. But 
Jerle being a great tactition and a great King, destroyed the Troll
army. But he failed to destroy the Warlock Lord. This was the Second
War of the Races.


The Warlock Lord has returned with an
army greater than ever. History is about to repeat itself again. The Northland
army captured Paranor and the Sword of Shannara was lost. Allanon comes to
Shady Vale and tells Shea he was the last heir to the Sword of Shannara.
He must destroy the Warlock Lord. Allanon left and Shea and his step brother
Flick thought Allanon was mad, until they saw a Skull Bearer. Allanon
sent word to some major Southland cities about the up comming invansion.
Brona had conquered the Gnomes and many troll states, which he is using to to 
try and conquer the world. But since the Southland had been excluded from
internation affairs for centuries, they thought the First and Second 
War of the Races was a myth.
