Home World: Midgard


Humans are always the first creatures to re-inhabit Midgard after each Ragnarök. Born of Líf and Lífþrasir at the close of the war, the race adapted well to the fresh world they were given. With Ragnarök over, there were fresh resources and a blank slate for the race to work with. Only Líf and Lífþrasir's word kept religion alive, since the gods were still recovering from Ragnarök and did not yet take an active role in the world. Many listened to the stories with interest; others didn't believe in "such nonsense". These individuals split from the group to found their own religion, and would later go on to form the Church of Rune. A few years after the construction of the Church of Rune the Alfar and Svartalf came over to Midgard.

Later down the road a group humans went on to play at godhood, combining life magic with modern biotechnology. The Rekenber Corporation of Schwartzvald (in this cycle of Ragnarök), managed to create the four Furred races: the Kumiho, the Nanabozho, the Ailouros and the Lupus.

The construction of these furred races were for a number of different reasons, for example, slave labor. Slaves became so popular that they became marketed to those that could afford them. Marketing of the slaves became so popular that the Schwartzvald Republic became specifically known for their trafficking of the furred races. Rune-Midgard on the other hand mostly opposed slavery (even though Morroc & Comodo have slavery). Due to Rune-Midgard being against slavery they slowly became a safe place for slaves that managed to escape Schwartzvald to flee to.

With Rune-Midgard protecting the runaway slaves from Schwartzvald Republic tension between the two nations grew. The tension being so thick that many people aren't surprised that a war will happen very soon. In fact many people have gone on to writing about their feeling about the possible war, the most noteable being Decimus Massimo, a former Professor of the Yuno Sage Academy.

Included below are excerpts from Decimus Massimo's A History of Humanity, an older history text from the Schwartzvald Republic. Once used in classrooms all across the Republic, it was recently banned by the government for what they claimed was its "antiestablishmentarian viewpoint"; a systematic countrywide book-burning has made the book very hard to come by. More excerpts will be added as they are discovered - no whole copies of Massimo's book have survived the flames.
