Bonus Content 1: Eradication

What was Eradication?

Many historians of the Empire ask ourselves that question and strive to further break down what is already known about the event that took place over a thousand years ago. The short and simple answer is that Eradication was the complete erasure of humanity on this continent that we call Nia. Complete erasure in history, culture, and any and everything that pointed to our people once existing upon this bountiful land. The long answer?

The long answer is that humanity had finally grown in strength and the magic density within our bodies allowed us to cultivate and use the Paths that were laid out in front of us to gather strength and resist our so called ‘masters’. Thus, the Great or Human Rebellion took place. The greenskins did not take kindly to what they had always considered a lesser people revolting against them and forming their own separate communities while killing their former masters who tried to stop them.

This led to a slow build up as more and more humanity followed the first Empress footsteps and established a base far from the reach of the greenskins deep in what was once beast territory. Of course, this isn’t as easy as we make it sound. Hundreds if not thousands gave their lives for humanity to establish themselves.

This led to excursions into the land of the greenskins to free more of humanity from their captives not only to replenish our dwindling numbers from the constant war on beast but also for the raw manpower provided. Enabling us to build this Empire. Until the orc high command finally decided to act. Several battles were fought and several times they were repelled by the budding forces of the now Empire. This shocked the high command of the orcs and greenskins in general. The once slave not only struck back but also fought back and won a few decisive battles.

If only we could warn our brothers and sisters of what was to come. If only… we could warn them of Eradication. Little did humanity know that the greenskins we fought were the younger generation sent to test themselves and wet their blades for the first time. Harden true orc warriors were sent next and this time they decided that if we didn’t know our place as one beneath and to serve, then we wouldn’t be needed at all. The humans that had yet to escape into the free land were never given a chance again. Every single human, child, woman, man, were Eradicated. Every single culture identity or establishment was burned so thoroughly one could not tell what once stood from the ashes. The moment the greenskin homeland was clear of humans they turned their eyes outward towards the budding territories of humanity. That is Eradication.
