The Age of Chaos

Gracia finally disappeared from the eastern horizon and sank into the depths of the distant sea like the setting sun. []

In the beginning, people also tried to sail ships back and forth between the two separate continents, bringing about a connection with each other. But as the sea continued to expand, the raging waves of the sea of confusion played with the human ships like leaves, and the wind blew the sails without difficulty.

Before the forces of nature, human beings seem so small. Finally, at the dawn of the new millennium, the humans on the continent of Atlantus finally completely defeated the elves and took the domination of the continent, but Glesia was gone forever.

In the history of mankind, only the memory of Atlantus remains.

All sorts of problems followed. Although humans have become the rulers of the continent, they obviously do not know how to govern the continent. First of all, they were unable to form a powerful center of power like the orcs and dwarves or a society as free as the elves, and their short life made them gradually yearn for power, and greed grew wildly, and everyone wanted to be the ruler of others, not to be ruled by others - and so the war broke out again within the human race.

It was a chaotic era, the horn of war filled every corner of the continent, countless lords and kings for money and land, constantly conquest each other, killing and plundering were repeated every day, and the continent of Atlantus became a bloody hell.

This era of chaos lasted for a thousand years. In this thousand years, in addition to war, it is still war, and it seems that human beings live for war, and die in war.

Since the day man became the ruler of the land, war has not ceased for a moment.

This period of history is obviously too boring and boring, and the only noteworthy event in these two millennia is the establishment of the Holy See.

The near-barbaric suicide of humanity has caused unease among many people who believe in peace, who feel that the end of humanity seems to be at hand. The believers of light have united, and under the pretext of God's will, they have tried to persuade the lords and kings everywhere, hoping that they will follow the teachings of the God of Light, lay down their swords, and work together to create a peaceful and beautiful world.

The doctrine of light created by the believers was supported by some rulers and many people in dire straits, and the lord of Odin City also joined the ranks of the believers, who dedicated his city to the god of light, and in 1658 the Astral Age, the believers established a base in Odin, established the Holy See, and jointly elected Ernst, the initiator of the doctrine of light, as the first pope, to promote their light faith to the entire continent. As a result, the city of Odin became the holy city of Atlantis.

The greed and madness of the rulers finally ignited a fierce revolt among the people, and at the call of the Holy See, the people launched a massive uprising that swept across Atlantus, and they took up arms one after another, killed the tyrannical rulers, and re-elected the peaceful and tolerant lords who believed in the light. The Holy See, on the other hand, crowned the new kings who had converted to the doctrine of light, recognizing their legitimate dominance.

The rulers were afraid, and in order to maintain their rule, they joined the banner of the Holy See one after another, and carried out some corresponding political reforms, abolishing some harsh and brutal ways of ruling in order to meet the requirements of the Holy See, hoping to be recognized by the Holy See.

The doctrine of light spread rapidly throughout the human race, and those tyrannical rulers and rulers who refused to convert to the doctrine of light were declared infidels by the Holy See, and the countries that believed in the doctrine of light were given the legal right to attack these infidels.

By the time of 1986, the Holy See and its affiliated Doctrine of Light had ruled over more than 95% of the human land in Atlantis, and the Doctrine of Light had become the only legitimate religion of mankind on the continent, with kings each governing their own territory, and the Pope becoming the spiritual leader of all mankind.

But it is clear that war does not end with the birth of a religion, and that war does not end a day until the greed and desire of mankind disappear. But the current rulers no longer dare to start wars at will, they will look for some beautiful and moving excuses, and of course, using various religious excuses to accuse the other side of being a heretic, because then not only will there be no interference from the Holy See, but also moral support.

Of course, the Holy See cannot prohibit all wars, and religion is not yet capable of competing with human nature. Therefore, for those wars that are doctrinal, the Holy See usually appears as a conciliator and a neutral. Although wars are still frequent, it is clear to the suffering people that they can tolerate war. After all, the people also have desires, and under the bewitchment of the lords, if war can bring them wealth and fame, why should they refuse?

The third millennium has arrived, and the age of religion has begun.
