I will tell you a tale set in the land of old, Enaurakain.
In the far northeastern corner lies the Kingdom of Traith now peaceful, but
once it was split by the petty wars between the Druid and Wiccan people. The
Wiccan tribes based their beliefs on Paganism, prayed to the Sun god, Moon
goddess and the spirit of the earth. They believed in harnessing natures power
for their own devices. They were basically human, only that they had a strange
way of influencing nature. They could cause flowers to flourish, weeds to
wither and weather to serve them, however they did not have the long life of
the Druids, who live an average lifetime of 700 years. The Druids, did not pray
to the gods as the Wiccans did. They believed in no such thing, thinking that
the earth had occurred as trick of nature. They preferred scientific reasoning,
and closely studied the art of alchemy and magic. This difference in beliefs
led to huge battles between the people, each convinced that their own power was
the greater. However when Narfaril, joined by creatures from the netherworld
unleashed its rage against the free peoples, the two clans joined forces.
Coming quickly to the aid of the Elves, who were already engaged in combat with
the evil sorcerers’ armies. The Druids/Wiccan became invincible, biding the
elven armies retreat and let them stand alone. The Elves complied, unwillingly
they stood back, allowing the two tribes to take the brunt of the attack. They
watched the two orders stand side by side at the border of the free land. As
the Elves clasped hands in fear this was the end, something amazing happened.
Channelling through their protectors was a force no being could contend with,
and the threat of Narfaril was thrown back.
As the Elves rejoiced they noticed that the Druid and the Wiccan now faced
each other stonily. All was silent. The Elves gazed upon the sight uneasily,
fearing new conflict, but it seemed a mutual agreement had been reached.
Brehaima; son of the Druid leader, bloodstained and battle worn stepped
forward. Then Maykindré fairest daughter of the Wiccan royal’s stepped forth to
clasp his hand. And so they wed, signifying a unity between the races that
would last forever more. Soon Maykindré bore Brehaima a child; Menith, from
whom Maya is a direct descendant. And so began the race of the Druicans.
Since then the Kingdom of Traith and all its people have had peace, living
in their impressive home of Sincrain. A huge impenetrable fortress, guarded by
magic. No enemy could ever hope to enter it, unless they came as a prisoner.
Sincrain consists of six forms. One central pinnacle surrounded by five other
spires. At the heart of the pentagram of buildings is the Sincrain Centrum.
This is where the followers of Maya live. Come and you will see that encased
within the stone pillar is a huge cityscape that rises to the height of the
tower covering the inner walls like a giant ant farm churning with activity. A
daunting sight indeed. Don't let this intimidating spectacle lead you to think
that Sincrain is a place of chaos. On the contrary it is quite the opposite;
the running of the city is well organized and its people are an extremely
helpful, friendly, trustworthy race. The order of the city is and never has
been broken. This is due to the leadership skills of Kelfar, a man of grand
stature and strong will and who prides himself on being precise in all
matters. Next Page Copyright © 1999, 2000, 2001 Tiffany Little, sffworld.com. All rights reserved. No part of this may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the author.
