Perched on the summits of the mountains of Lanever, the Dragon watches
over Aarklash. Wise and meditative, the Cynwäll – “Exiled” in their tongue –
have been trying for centuries to unveil the secrets of the past to understand
the present. Now there is no time to lose in refl ections: the Rag’narok is setting
Aarklash ablaze. Th e Cynwäll, supported by regiments of automatons and the
majestic dragons, merge the power of the body with that of the soul to guarantee
the triumph of Light!

== History ==
Long ago all the elves
were part of a single nation,
Quithayran. Th e
Republic of Lanever was
born from a succession
confl ict, called the Serrelis,
in 558. One of the
two possible heirs to the
throne, a partisan of wisdom
and Light, chose to
leave and went into exile
in Lanever to avoid
civil war. Along with
his many followers he founded a republic. Th e elves
of this new nation adopted the
name of Cynwäll, or “Exiled”.
ey swore not to take part in
the confl icts of the continent.
e Cynwäll allied themselves
the dragons that live in the
mountains of Lanever. While exploring
territory they discovered ancient
temples, inside which slept ancient artifacts, constructs
and libraries built by a long forgotten society. Exiled
no more, the Cynwäll became the keepers of the secrets of the
Elders.
The Cynwäll broke their oath of neutrality during the fi rst
battle of Kaïber in 625. By siding with Light they prevented
the Ram from invading Aarklash. Over the following centuries,
the Dragon fought many battles against the Meanders of
Darkness.
The Cynwäll, in their great wisdom, knew that the Rag’narok
was unavoidable. After centuries of preparation they are fi ghting
with all their might, using the weapons of the Elders. Even
the prospect of Aarklash being destroyed cannot break their
concentration. Th e former guardians have become formidable
warriors. Th e Dragon is taking the fi ght into Darkness’ territory
in the western parts of Aarklash, while supporting its
allies wherever its forces are needed.

== Ragn'arok ==

<p style="float:right;width:720px">The Cynwäll see the Rag’narok as
an opportunity for all the peoples of
Aarklash: the chance to choose their
own future, between Light and Darkness.
Th ey know that the battle will be
merciless and that the consequences
will be terrible: if Darkness wins, Creation
will experience an era of corruption
and pain.
</p>
<p style="float:right;width:720px">
The certainty of these truths is supported
daily by the reality of these
confl icts. Th e Dragon is deploying its
companies from the Ynkarô to the
Syharhalna. However, there are not
enough Cynwäll fi ghters to maintain
such an army, even with the support
of the constructs and the dragons. So
it is the entire population that is at war,
risking complete extinction if they ever
were to be defeated. Only faultless concentration
can lead them to victory in
these conditions! Th is is why the Cynwäll
lock their hearts and souls away
before each battle, resembling more
and more the constructs fi ghting by
their side.
Th e time of the Rag’narok has come
and the Dragon is waking from its
meditation. Th e only uncertainty left is
the future: the victor alone shall make
History.</p>

== Army ==

The army of the Dragon is a sophisticated
war machine. Th e male and
female troopers, the specialists, the
constructs of all shapes and sizes, the
titanic dragons are all cogs that fi t into
the Cynwäll army with deadly precision.
Th e army is a lethal blade capable
of causing fatal damage when wielded
by a master of strategy.
Th e selsÿms constitute the main
body of the army; their mastery of
combat is rarely equaled by the regular
troops of the other peoples and moreover
their speed is that of the elves.
Th ey are supported by elite troops that
specialize in one or another aspect of
the Cynwäll art of war: the kestrels for
instance exchange their shield for a pistol,
to deal death with astonishing agility.
The varsÿms prefer fi ghting with aweapon in each hand, as they seemingly dance around the enemy.
At the top of the chain of command of the Dragon army,
one will fi nd the asadars and the khidarÿms. Th ese warriors
are equipped with fi ne armor that compensates for their frail
elven constitution.
Cynwäll troops are supported by distinctively shaped constructs
organized into regiments led by magicians. Th ough
the constructs might lack vivacity, it is their great resilience
and unbreakable morale that makes them indispensable. Th e
ranks of the constructs are sometimes overshadowed by the
imposing fi gures of the novas that hold a weapon in each of
their four arms, while the pulsars are hybrids with the upper
body of a nova mounted on a great war wheel.
High above the mêlée glide the dragons, the most noble and
most powerful creatures of Aarklash. Free roaming or ridden
by dragon-knights, these titans fi ll the hearts of the enemy with
terror and leave nothing but smoking ashes in their wake.
