The Felk Wars

Long before the founding of the Provinces of Fowlkeep, the people were on nation united under the four gods - Dyr, Aeline, Rone and Ruine. The people had suffered incursions from demons in the past, demons they had come to call the Felk; coldly beautiful people that looked almost human, save for their abnormal height and translucent blue-white skin.

There had been a total of four incursions of the Felk before the gods had come to Fowlkeep; four incursions that were characterized by the same behaviour. People vanished, entire families at times. Livestock, buildings and material belongings were never damaged, and there was no sign of blood except when a vicious struggle had happened.

The Felk were unstoppable. Then the gods came.

Coming from the heavens, the gods stepped down and walked amongst the people. The gods taught the scared and disorganized people of Fowlkeep how to use tools, how to make shelter and fire. They taught the people to speak, to read and to write, and helped raise the people to nations. At the dawning of civilization on the continent of Fowlkeep, all was going well.

Then the gods had a falling out.

Splitting the Kingdom into four provinces, the gods each took a specific interest in each. They chose their favourites and raised them to Kingship, and thus the four provinces came into existence. All went well until the 124th year after the Founding of the Provinces, for then, after hundreds of years, the Felk returned.

This time, the people of Fowlkeep united. They fought back, using weapons made of bronze and steel. They fought in neat and controlled armies, and their priests from the Temples used the magic gifted to them by the gods to drive the invading demons back across the oceans.

They say the Felk will come back...but the Felk are just bedtime stories. Aren't they?
