"when forging the hearts, the divine smith Hephaestus used all the excess mana from converting the hearts and all the mana gather by the newly created Tartarus to reforge the land ma.s.ses of the world into one continent surrounded by the endless ocean, he deliberately left out some islands and archipelago for those who would brave the seas" leader continued."After the hearts were forged into items, the races lost the powers they relied upon from the hearts and a most absurd idea surfaced in the world, feed the hearts each other to strengthen their power, they are divine items and they like all other divine items can feed upon other items. As for the hosts of the hearts they were immersed in meditation and trying to restore their old powers do much that they did not pay any attention to their races and a new idea was formed, the hearts have become so weak they need to be fed to survive, reinforcing the former idea and starting a global scale racial war that encapsulated all the races even those who had no hearts."
"The hearts themselves were trying to restore their powers for the sake of those who disobeyed their order of keeping peace in the world. The orcs as a race that relished in the war and loved to seek for a most honourable death finally found the courage to renounce the oracles of the heart of prophecy, as they no longer could fortel death, but only life, some humans were drawn to the power of prophecy and created the church of light,"
"The church of light was built based on the prophecy of life, they would spread the teaching of light but they never sought peace and compa.s.sion, and as the only faction with a heart humans can rally to, the church become the representative of the human race"
"The war of the races kept raging until one man Adun the twilight star came out of the dungeon and decimated all armies that dared engage in battle no matter their race or affiliations, he declared he would slaughter all those that waged war between the races, that he would ruin any country that dared to discriminate, and he declared that all those who step inside Tartarus will uphold the peace of the world and insure that all the races are treated equally in punishment and reward."
"Adun then with the help of the strongest adventurers at the time created the guild of adventurers, an organisation with the sole purpose of rallying all adventurers under the same banner to destroy who ever wanted to ruin the world. And thus the guild was born, first it was only a union for adventurers, but later turned onto the organisation it is now for the sake of letting adventurers focus on the dungeon. As for those that sought enough power to protect in the surface world, they were contracted to become guards and soldiers, under the guild but paid by whoever is in need of them, the guild also managed to fully control Tartarus city a place where the whole world would converge."
"After stopping the war and insuring that the peace would last long enough for the guild of adventurers to gain power, Adun the twilight star met the hearts and used his own mana as food for them to return to their peak power and rule over their respective races. The heart of the forest took residence in the eternal forest and turned the elves back into the nature loving race they were before."
"The heart of the mountain took the dwarves back under the mountains and lead them to become the epitome of engineering and technological innovation, the heart of the beast found refuge in a the eternal forest with heart of the forest and led the half beasts into the path of discarding the b.e.a.s.t.i.a.l instinct and protection of mother nature, he turned the race into the proud rangers"
"As for the heart of prophecy it left the church of light after it had seen its own death, the last death that prophecy would ever predict, it never returned to the orcish people but roamed the world. the orcs had grown into an honorable race, although they abhorred the prophecy of life and rejected oracles from their midst, only orcs can become prophets or seers or oracles,thus they would roam the world spreading the prophecy of life to all who needed it rejected by their own tribes and kin. Although the orcs had immense list for battle, they only fought among themselves in duels and tournaments between tribes, and their proudest achievements were to die in the most amazing and awe inspiring battles. The orcs had only one law, never kill outside battle, and never kill an oracle who has not told you a prophecy. Anything else can be disputed in an arena, therefore they had customs but never rules to follow, even the eternal law can be challenged in a way, for example when Dustan did not kill the oracle when she told us that d.a.m.nable prophecy. Although no orc would be faulted for mercy no orc was applauded for brutality, especially those who slaughtered in the name of battle, those are destroyed when found"
"As for the church it changed it"s path after the arrival of Adun the twilight star, they turned righteous and strived for the betterment of mankind, and for them the heart of Tartarus created the light magic, the magic that heals all, under the influence of the church, the humans delved into the dungeon to create a better future for humanity and as you can see thanks to that humans finally had a place in this world"
"Isn"t Adun the twilight star the first adventurer?" Asked Reina while scratching her head. Sometime during the lecture she found her hair being braided and a certain dwarf was grooming her tails as she sat on the knee of an orc
"No answered leader, he was named the first adventurer because he is still the strongest adventurer in the dungeon"
