| + | |||
| + | Th e history of the nation of | ||
| + | Tir-Nâ-Bor begins with the Winter | ||
| + | of Battles. Only the dwarves | ||
| + | had taken measures to stock food | ||
| + | stuff . Th us, they did not suff er shortage. But their famished neighbors | ||
| + | attacked them relentlessly as they dwarven granaries greedily. | ||
| + | Th e famine was taking its toll across the land. Th e | ||
| + | children of the gods, the giants, were dying. Th e gods came to | ||
| + | the dwarves off ering a deal: they were inviting them to settle in | ||
| + | the gods’ domain of the Ægis, where they would be safe from the | ||
| + | greed of other peoples. In exchange the dwarves were to feed the | ||
| + | giants and ensure their survival. Th e dwarves gladly accepted. | ||
| + | Tir-Nâ-Bor – the Land of the Pact in their tongue – was born. | ||
| + | In their sheltered domain, the dwarves discovered the art | ||
| + | of the forge and, later, the wonders of steam. For a time, they | ||
| + | even harbored the off spring of a marginal civilization, goblins. | ||
| + | But the latter revolted and ran away in a demonstration of | ||
| + | gross ingratitude, leaving only the dwarves and the giants of | ||
| + | Tir-Nâ-Bor who kept developing peacefully…until the appearance | ||
| + | of the demons of the Abyss. Th ese creatures, neither dead | ||
| + | nor alive, invaded the depths of the Ægis. Despite centuries of | ||
| + | war, the dwarves of Tir-Nâ-Bor never managed to defeat them | ||
| + | completely. | ||
| + | However, as the Rag’narok dawned, the most powerful heroes | ||
| + | of Tir-Nâ-Bor decided to put an end to all this. Th ey bravely | ||
| + | cast all their forces into the battle and ventured deep into the | ||
| + | caverns controlled by their foe. Th ey eventually scored a major | ||
| + | victory, but it cost them dearly: another people, the Syhar, took | ||
| + | the opportunity to attack the fortresses of Tir-Nâ-Bor as they | ||
| + | stood defenseless. Several of these fortresses have fallen into | ||
| + | the hands of the aggressor. But the people of Tir-Nâ-Bor are | ||
| + | obstinate by nature. With the help of the Akkylannians, their | ||
| + | historical allies, the dwarves, elves, humans and the giants of | ||
| + | Tir-Nâ-Bor have stopped the Syhars’s advance and have begun | ||
| + | taking back their homes. | ||
| + | Nowadays, the people of Tir-Nâ-Bor are allied to the Ways | ||
| + | of Light. | ||
