Races and Lore

Since i am using the skyrim creation kit i will have access to the different races in skyrim so this provide a good history and lore about why these battles are happening. so i have written up some basin initial lore pieces for each race i have chosen to include. The races i have chose are Humans, Orcs and elves and these are the first lore pieces.

Kingdom of Engias

(Humans)

Humans are the youngest of the 3 races in Midgard. They were originally in small nomadic people who relied on farming and hunting to survive on the outskirts of the orcish lands but a rapid increase in population forced them to take more land and they slowly began taking more and more orcish land. Years past and the humans had converted from a simple people into an army and people of brave fighters loyal to there leader. Eventually the orcs and humans descended into war but from pure numbers the orcs were continually pushed further and further back and eventually into the sea and away from there homeland forcing them to inhabit a small group of islands off the coast. Which are now known as the Orc Islands. Now the humans were more advanced it wasn't long until they turned the orc lands into a glorious capital after they did this humans continued to spread across the all the land and quickly all orc influenced land was human. The orcs still have a bitter resentment towards humans and this often results in small conflicts between the races as the orcs still want to reclaim there lands but the the human empire has almost unmatched might.

Kingdom Of Aquano

(orcs)

Orcs are of of the 2 elder races in Midgard. Before there lands were taken from the humans they had a prosperous land full of good farm land and plenty of animals for hunting. But orcs were not a civil people. Outbursts of violence was common. Orcs lived in tribes and the leader was often chosen by trials of strength the stronger the leader the larger and more powerful the tribe was in turn allowing them to gain more land for themselves. When the humans invaded the tribes had no chance against a fully trained human army even though one on one humans would lose against an orc but with such overwhelming numbers orcs could not win and this is when all orcs began to flee to the orc islands. After much dispute and fighting there is now only one ruler for the orcs allowing the orcs to be lead like an army with more effectiveness which isn't good for the empire.

Kingdom Of Afrina

(Elves)

Elves are the oldest of all the races. Elves are a very cultural people who have great knowledge about the world. but this does not mean they cannot fight as every elf must train with one weapon from a young age. There are 2 types of elves in Afrina the Light and Dark elves who worship the natural life cycle of life and death the Light Elves wordhip life and the growth of everything living and the Dark Elves worship the end of life and worship the natural death of all living things they worship this because Elves believe that the world will fall into chaos without the natural cycle of life and death. Light and Dark elves both live together in there capital and can almost be classed as the upper class of all the elves. Then there are the woodland Elves who live in the Forests all around there lands who don't have a great belief in the natural cycle they prefer to just live in nature and keep to themselves. Woodland elves are very close with there camps and often the only way to join is to be born in it is very rare an outsider has joined a camp. There is no anger or tension between woodland and Light and Dark elves they can trade and in times of need help each other they just prefer different lifestyles.
