Imported from SF2 with no description.


There once was a great race of Homo sapiens sapiens. They rose up from the sea, flew down from the sky and built the greatest wonder this world has ever seen.

All other races fell before the might of mankind; many were driven away from their home, enslaved, imprisoned or extinct altogether. No one dares challenge humanity for theirs dominion on this earth. If any should raise his head up too high or harm any human, all their kind and many others shall suffer a great punishment like the wrath of God himself descends upon them.

Humanity was at the highest of their power in their final moment, even reaching into the star and setting foot on another planet. Seeing their ambition, many said the god sent down a star—barring gift and power for humankind. Its power grants a select few humans who can bear its power a great strength and mythical power which are still to this day referred to as magic by the human race.

The day that the star fell marked the beginning of a new era for all of us.

In the wake of this newfound power that could lead humans to an even greater height instead of sharing this power among themselves some humans start fighting each other and even start a war for those few exceptional humans which last for many decades.

In an attempt to control and harvest its power finally the star break. Its power swoop through the world and remake everything forever. All species of plant and animal start to react to its power like never before and many grew up many times its original size. Some were grant the power of magic too and share it with their own kind unlike the human in their waking moment.

The continent started to move and human found themself lost in this new world. Their superweapon of destruction and control lost when the very earth shifted beneath them, along with their government which kept bickering and distrust among themself while the world turned on them from inside their own home. Many were killed in a vengeful hunt by many species that were oppressed under humanity for centuries. The first few selected humans who were chosen by the star try to lead the remaining survival to create a new home but humans of Homo sapiens sapiens can no longer bear the air and pressure of this new world any longer. For just standing still felt like the air was pushing down on them constantly and with every breath, a sharp cut in their lung as if blackthorns were hidden in the air.

The first 2 blessed humans, Astra and Lucena, have to decide quickly on what to do or risk losing more people. Seeing their fellow men fall one by one, they decide to choose a radical path of transformation. To change into something new that can withstand this new world and win a war that they know is coming. When their attempt finally succeeds in incarnating themselves into this new beautiful form, they start to transform other selected few who they believe can survive the transformation while the rest are abandoned. A difficult choice that must be made for two of them alone cannot save millions of people who have come to them for help.

The selected human that survives and changes were later known as “Amiel", the new rebirth race of humanity. Although many other races still see them as human and hate them all the same.

Astra and Lucena are lover and fought many battles together. They were led to find each other through the power of the star and Alana, their child, was also believed by them to be a gift from God himself.

Alana, who always has a kind heart, however, disapproved of this radical path that would abandon millions of people who come to beg them for help. Instead, she gave a small part of her own power into other humans as many as she could, despite her parent begging her not to do so. With this path, although billions of humanity are still lost, humanity survives.

But because it is not a transformation change like people of Amiel these new human does not possess any power of magic nor strength. Just a regular weak old fashion human among this brave new world full of new creature that want to destroy them.

The first war come just as everyone was expected "The great cleansing" they called it. The war that all species will once again fight and find their place in this new world hierarchy. Many new races were wipe out to extinction and human have come close to the end many times but because of their alliance with Ameil and some other races, they live on.

Alana was the first who propose the idea of alliance between all races to end the cleansing while everyone is busy trying to kill each other and curve up a new world order. Even among Ameil who was just recently had been human felt the need to abandon humanity to save themselves but Astra and Lucena will never abandon their daughter so the alliance never breaks no matter what their people said.

The first alliance was only made possible simply because the Fire Ant empire started to dominate the world and everyone else was losing. Their number grew unchecks and no one really knew how to destroy their giant underground network completely. So, in desperation, all race joins in to stop the ants in unity which results in their victory and collapse of the Fire Ant Empire but as soon as the war was won and the Fire Ant Empire assumed destroyed, the alliance broke once more with more grudges to add to the list. Still, this alliance laid the groundwork for future alliances, for each race started to welcome or tolerate the sight of diplomats more, unlike the beginning phase of war where everyone killed everyone on sight.

The great cleansing lasts for many decades until the end which 6 major powers remain: Human republic of New Terra, Great People of Ameil, Fire Ant dynasty, Mountain Crow of Corvidia, The Wolf fang party of Eardwulf and The Goat church of Amalthea.

In the memory of princess Alana all races agree to build a city in the heart of this new continent and called it “City of Alana". A place where all race can come to live side by side in peace and harmony without the constraints of politic or grudge of the past. Here in the heart of this city lie the very first school for children of all race to come study, learn and live side by side together in peace and harmony.

Should the city of Alana fail to bring every races together the great cleansing may yet start anew. And with it the sin of the past shall resurface to collect it due. Still many brave spirits who believe in Alana vision of tomorrow try to live by her example in this city. For they know should this city succeed the world will finally be able to move on toward tomorrow.

This is the story of her children
