Ladies, gentlemen, men and women of all ages, this is a tale of the time before time, the primordial ages. In the beginning there were seven humans, each assigned a portion of the world to take patronage of. In the south was King Max of Africa, in the east was King Adam of Babylon, in the north were King James of the Assyrian hordes, Queen Grace of Asia and Queen Kirby of Thrace, in the west was Emperor Connor of Italia, and in the center was King Quillin of the Isle of Crete. And this was the Beginning.
In the years after the beginning the world leaders began propagating their lands and expanding so as to increase their land. Of particular note in this age was King James' migration towards The Levant in his desire to take Crete, which in his Envy he believed belonged to him. This caused much unease for the neighboring leaders, especially Queen Grace and King Adam, who believed that King James was intruding upon lands that rightfully belonged to them. Once King James reached the coast he ordered his men to cut down entire forests to provide the boats needed to sail to Crete. Once he landed upon the island King James suffered massive losses still managed to drive the Cretans from their homeland. However, despite his victory, King James was struck by enlightenment and realized that he had given into the devil by indulging his negative inclinations. It was after this enlightenment that King James realized the only way to appease God was to kill ALL of his men, which he then promptly did, after which he committed suicide himself. This is where most theologians agree that The First Age ended
The second age of this world is what we call The Age of Terrors, a thousand years of death and destruction wrought by God upon the cities of the world. It all started with the earthquake that destroyed the ancient and holy Thracian city of Byzantium, after this was the civil war in Babylon, where Italian defectors took many of the cities of the Babylonian heartland and proclaimed them their own. After many years of war between the two factions, there was a great flood and all of the Italian rebels were wiped out,a blessing sent to Babylon seemingly by god. At nearly the same time there was another great civil war, this time in the kingdom of Africa, where much of the eastern African kingdom declared themselves Assyrians and declared war on the African King. After many years of this fighting, there was a great famine in both Assyria and Africa, wiping out many of the armies on both sides. Also at this time was another flood in the Babylonian heartlands, though this time the effect was less severe to due to clever Babylonian building techniques. After this the great tide of calamities finally subsided, and most historians consider this the end of The Age of Terror. Despite it's rather ominous name, this age did see the development of many new technologies by all of the kingdoms, particularly the Africans and Babylonians, whose capitals were cultural and technological marvels at the end of the Age.
The beginning of the third and current age is marked by a great vote amongst the nations, a vote on who would be the one civilization to rule them all. There was much intrigue between the nations leading up to this vote and many unexpected decisions were made. The two leading nations were Babylon and Africa, and nearly all expected that one of these two would win this vote. However, the Cretans unexpectedly gave their vote to the Assyrians due to a favor owed to by the Cretan King to the Assyrian King. The Italians also gave their vote to Assyria due to an alliance with the Italians. The Babylonians voted for themselves, obviously, and also secured the Assyrian vote due to some slightly less than legal trades. However, the ultimate winner was Asia due to comparatively undeveloped country receiving both the Thracian and African votes for reasons that this historian simply cannot figure out. Dissatisfied with the result of the vote the Babylonians vowed to lead themselves and never be lead by the Asians, a decision which will likely have severe repercussions in the years to come.
