Chronicles of Randan • my pitch for a spiritual successor for shadow of series • Part.1: world building and story • [Revised]
# General overview of the story:
the story takes place in the land of Yanteiluh. Known as *“The black desert”* it was once a beautiful luscious Greenland, home it all kinds of races and animals.
But then came the event known as “*The Terrainan Dispora*”
Where millions of humans from earth that was about to be destroyed were taken to another world.
For the next century, these humans and their descendants have carved up the land and fought over territory and dominion over this land.
Some have left these lands and expanded outward meeting the other races of the continent.
Inevitably, the other kingdoms and empires of this continent had enough of this new race of humans.
And so then came the Noaian War named after prophet King Noa of Orkh.
It was a battle between the union of the warbands, marauders and clans and the United armies of the three kingdoms of elves, dwarfs, Beastmen and Fea-kin.
It lasted for 10 years. It was brutal, but at the end of the war, the United armies were victorious, and so to make sure that this kind of savagery doesn’t spread.
They sealed off the entire land with a wall that is watched by all kinds of races.
Not all humans, though were sealed behind the wall of Yanteiluh. Some war bands and clans even join the United armies.
and since then, they actually have their own small communities and kingdoms, but nothing compared to the great and ancient kingdoms like the Elven empire.
That was over 100 years ago.
Since then, there’s always been the idea of liberating this land from the savage clans.
Many kingdoms have sent prisoners and criminals that would’ve gone to the national razor to protect the wall.
Orders of prideful knights believing that they could Purge savagery from the Earth have ventured beyond the wall and outside of liberating key force. It is still impossible to liberate Yanteiluh.
Since then, it has been watched by the high guard.
We Play as captain ***Kayne of Randand*****.**
A young captain that was sent to the wall after protecting his sister from her husband and his penance he was sent to do 10 years of service on the wall.
He adapted and learned the ways of swordsmanship and archery.
But then one night.
the wall is attacked by the marauder band, but this time they’re more organized and even show very advance battle tactics like siege ladders, and hook shots
And soon he and his friends are kidnapped and being sold in the slave markets in the capital of the savage lands. **Neu Noae.**
But thanks for the help of a guard that decides to help them escape.
They are now lost in a Vile land.
**(that is about the size of the state of New York. if we’re using real world comparisons.)**
And so it’s up to Kayne
**(or “*****Randan*****” by the tribes man that saved them.)**
He will lead a rebellion against this new order of savages.
It turns out the savages are a united kingdom, comprise the various clans, following the order of a new prophet king, ***Cylar of the gula***
The Gula kingdom is comprise of Four major tribes in Yanteiluh.
-
**The Bone Men**
-
**Scarlet rippers**
-
**Sons of Neu Orkhe**
and finally, **The Iron-Kins**
They’re dangerous but no match to a knight who is actually half human / half fairy.
He’s not fighting alone.
He’s fighting with everything they don’t have.
A union born from Liberation and freedom
