History of Marigor

"""The continent of Marigor and its history :""On the northern continent of Marigor, all kinds of races used to live together under the guidance of elves. When the elves left, the humans were the race that enslaved the elves. The other races on Marigor were far outnumbered by the humans and so they did not object to this, being happy that it wasn't them being enslaved.""However, after the big event where the majority of the elves escaped and left for Elden, the humans suddenly lost one of their biggest resources: slaves.""They looked to the other races living with them, however, those races banded together and fled to the east, behind the gigantic mountains, into unknown lands. Humans tried to follow them there, but the mountains were too big and treaterous, and found it impossible to cross these mountains. Most of the humans sent out on expeditions into the mountains, finding a way to cross, were never seen again, and so the humans retreated, and turned to the only population left to enslave. Other humans.""""The kingdom of Adura was formed about 300 years later, after these people had been at war with eachother, one of the warlords from a region in the south, was so fierce and strong, he managed to unite all the lands into the first kingdom this continent had seen since the departing of the Elves 300 years before.""""During those 300 years of war, a small part of the population, mostly traders who had no lust for battle, split off and moved to the southwest. They passed through the Ghostlands and settled near the sea, and there they founded the city of Kandra, on top of old elven ruins, an elven city which had long been abandoned. They are now known as the biggest trade hub in all of Zantar, trading any goods you can think of, and because of this it is also the wealthiest city, matched only by Dragonhead on the continent of Arevidon, who are rich not because of trade, but because magic is common there, inhabiting many wizards and mages.""""North of the ghostlands is the city of Gorkol, with it's 2 castles, Gorkol's Rocks, protecting it. The people living here are outcasts from Erdal, where the non-human races fled to. They were mostly criminals and murderers, and were sent beyond the mountains into exile. When they got past the mountains however, they had little choice where to go. Travel too far west, and they would enter  human territory and feared to be enslaved. To the south are the ghostlands, where strange magic lives, and not many venture into the ghostlands and come back alive.""""To the north, the weather keeps getting colder and colder, untill finally it is too cold to live, and to the north-west there were snowy hills, and beyond that, a dark forest where there was always rain, and according to legend, it was ruled by a dark wizard.""""So, the only option was to settle just beyond the mountains. After about a hundred years, the outcasts stopped coming from Erdal, who had decided to stop exiling their people, and either enslave them for a short period, or for repeat offenders, execute them. However, the city of Gorkol had a steady population by then, and even though it used to consist of only criminals, after a couple generations, many innocent people now live there.""""In the southwest of the continent is Thalatesh. This part of the continent is 1 enormous lake, but it is only ankle-high. There is a vast mountain range separating Thalatesh from the kingdom of Adura. The people of Thalatesh and Adura ignore eachother, because the trek over the mountains is too long, and the people of Thalatesh know these mountains by heart, and every expedition launched by Adura is swiftly killed, and 1 lone survivor gets sent back with the message to never return again. The people of Adura are a people of war, however, they have always had their war on lands, never having much need for a navy, and so they do not know much about naval warfare, which is the reason they do not try to invade Thalatesh by sea."
