Appendix 5: Human Culture
In the Middle Ages, the elves called the Bright Age in 729, the ark carrying 118 passengers was carried by the ocean current to the east coast of Tur, on the beach of Fishbelly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info There are no historical materials or documents that landed with the ship, and the first humans chose not to mention the past. The only thing we know is that humanity has left the Western continent where we have lived for generations because of the great natural disaster "Great Flood".
The affluent Tours region has allowed the destitute human beings to live in peace. The population is also growing rapidly, discovering something new every day in the exploration of the East, and the elves are happy to share their culture and magic with humans. Humanity's art and scholarship, which were originally barren, flourished with the infusion of new blood.
Etallonism was quickly accepted and believed in by humans, but the elves remained skeptical. Because the consciousness of human beings is very different from that of the traditional believers, because "they love the glory before men more than before God." ”
The places where humans have traveled are becoming more and more extensive, and the cultural and architectural styles have also taken on different characteristics. Humans in the Tours region prefer plain and simple square houses with no excessive decoration on the top, except for the dripping spouts. The house has many windows, almost all the decorations are arranged around the windows, potted plants and balconies are the heart of everything, and the streets are full of vegetation and shade for drying clothes. Their towers and government buildings are also inseparable from the square and flat-roofed style, plain but magnificent.
The human beings of Tours are often immersed in and rejoicing in their simple life of being unfazed and self-sufficient. The sun shone on their doorstep every day, and the salty sea breeze blew in from the west, and looking at these things didn't seem to change everything that was good now. Some say they are content with the present and have no spirit of exploration. These people say this, and they are also envious.
Humans and elves in the Rant region communicate more, and the architecture is more whimsical. The special pointed vault structure prevents rainwater from being trapped on the roof. The sturdy and lightweight flying buttress structure makes the building even taller, allowing for the use of large areas of glass on the walls. Additional minarets and corner decorations make the building more slender.
The culmination of the Rant's architecture is the "House of the Gods" cathedral in Millworth, which is large enough to accommodate more than 30,000 people and is made of one-color marble. There are at least 6,000 statues of shrines outside the building alone. 14 flying buttresses are used, 24 large glass windows, and numerous minaret decorations. From a distance, the church looks like a marble hedgehog. Naturally, such a grand project also took a long time, and the blueprint of the church began to be developed and revised around 300 A.D., and finally lasted 244 years, and the Basilica of the House of God was finally completed in 564 A.D.
In addition to architecture, the human desires of the Rants also grew with their complex artistic style. Business and trade are changing with each passing day, but not for the better. Society is rapidly evolving and fragmented. The thirst for labor and money puts them at risk in all profitable ways.
Although mankind has built churches with the help of nations. But the lessons in the scriptures have long been forgotten. God's favor is not a transaction, and a luxurious mansion cannot bribe the Almighty. The growing ambition of humanity and the violence against the "inferior race" have forced the elves to be wary of humans.
The short life span of human beings makes them blind to their own self-interest. This is the view of the orc patriarch Triddou, when he lobbied the elves. But it's not without achievements, and everyone understands empathy and the like. It's just that human beings are the only ones who are happy to pursue power and interests. Every day, goods come in and out, gold coins jingle in the pockets of wealthy merchants, but the people at the bottom are still poor and helpless. Humanity is in pursuit of new adventures and treasures, and the footsteps of colonization have moved eastward to the not-so-pleasant Kurosawa region.
After the elves made the decision to control humans, Midangel was in a sense more peaceful.
After the Age of Empires, the core of human culture seems to be only xenophobia. He even burned down Lin Pi City in a rage, and his antipathy towards the elves has not stopped.
When the empire was founded, Periyar I added a day at the end of the week, so that the week had 7 days, known as the Day of the Holy King. And put the day of February in August, his birthday month, so that February of the human epoch has 29 days. This distinguishes it from the Elven Chronicle.
