A prologue to which we're the horrible years of The Great War of Minraya, the war between foxes and rabbits


Life was never easy in Minraya, at least for the rabbits, treated as slaves for food in the nation of foxes to the east, even thought when these united themselves in the Rabbit Empire, the raids from the foxes of east where a common thing, the brave warriors from the Rabbit Empire try every time to stop the foxes from the Vupini Kingdom to advance to their great green plains and snowy forests, but it was nonetheless it was useless, foxes where more tall, skilled and had better weaponry, being a specie generally dedicated to honor and warfare, with their clothes made of bunny fur and their iron spikes and swords and their bloodthirstiness. To be honest, foxes never considered their raids more like natures true course to their own words, never forced to take interest in technology or diplomacy they where also great artist, architects and strategists, a small nation with a passionate flame. the Bunny Empire was quite different, it was hard, foxes never had a truly interest in colonizing the lands that we're far from home, they only had three cities, Velim, Kunzii and Fazwe, the bunnys and many cities that were striked with poverty, crime and decadence, losing his way to be a home where Rabbits could be saved from the hardships of being hunted by foxes, it became a great nation with a potential to defeat the foxes and liberated from their paws, but things never live to your expectations, the empire slowly decayed becoming a corrupt bureaucratic dream, every day the real family become decadent. Things seemed to never change, always maintaining this cycle of foxes hunting rabbits and rabbits just managing to back them off some meters from the land.

Both the Vulpini Kingdom and Rabbit Empire where a monarchy, so...one day the Emperor Nicholas of the Rabbit Empire had enough.

Foxes never make a interest in technological progress in the theme of warfare, battles we're always easy to them even when they get overcome 1 to 12, that changed with the invention of gunpowder in the Rabbit Empire, the change of battles started to be on the side of bunnies to make the first pushover after the very own existence of this nation, bunnies then managed which seemed impossible, making their way to Velim the first city that we're in the border with the rabbits, all under the command of the Emperor Nicholas that seemed to have the ambition of liberating the rabbits slaves of the Vulpini Kingdom, the golden city felled after 18 days of battle, the siege of Velim was a bloodshed for two species, the foxes used every energy they had to stop the advance but in the end the bunnies won and occupied the city shooting many foxes and liberating every rabbit, on the slave houses, after the raid of the city made more for rage from long years of oppression that for resources these armed rabbits marched to Kunzil which with the initial shock we're more prepared but anyways felled after a long fight of 2 months, the last one Fazwe decided to do something that was not normal for foxes, try diplomacy.

The reunion of Kunzil was a total change the way the world worked, Foxes where forced in exchange for freed every rabbit in their city's, the only main source of the foxes food, with the empire surrendering itself and the humiliating victory of bunnies, accompanied with the scarcity of food managed to make the once proud empire to the ashes of degeneracy, foxes resorted to murder and cannibalism, the last sorts of bunny meat are priceless at this point, starvation drowns the only city foxes hold on.

Nicholas say this phrase when asked about simply genocide the foxes

"Waste of bullets, let them suffer like their victims did"

That was a mistake.

Thanks to the help of a unknown collaborator, these foxes have come back in shape under their constructed government and the guide of Charles II, the war is see in the distant for the rabbits when these apparent starved waste comeback asking for a reconquest of the lost cities, the rabbits take this as a joke in the beginning making caricatures of Charles II and making fun in general of foxes, the problem is that rabbits don't know that they get the secrets of gunpowder.
