Light, Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Ice.\u0026nbsp; From these six elements were made the materials for the world.\u0026nbsp; The Father made a place for the oceans, and made a place for the Land.\u0026nbsp; And Father was grateful.\n\nSoon, the world was ejected from the sun it was made in.\u0026nbsp; And soon, Terra Syn was given life.\u0026nbsp; While in the plasma sheath of the red dwarf, the first living things were the Eukaryotes.\u0026nbsp; And after the Eukaryotes, were the prokaryotes. Then came algae and other dimunitive organisms.\u0026nbsp; After they, came the other forms of life.\u0026nbsp; After that, the Father initiated the Precambrian Explosion.\u0026nbsp; And when the world was ready, plants came upon Dry Land and spread through out the whole land. Then came the animals.\u0026nbsp; After that, the other forms of life was introduced on dry ground.\u0026nbsp; All in all, the world of Terra Syn took five billion years to complete.\n\n**Races**\n\nThe following races lived upon Terra Syn.\u0026nbsp; First where the ancient lizard men.\u0026nbsp; Descended from the dinosaurs, the lizard men included a number of different forms.\u0026nbsp; The most cunning of these were the raptors, followed by the tyrannosaurs who had a penchant for violence, and then others came. \u0026nbsp; And thus these forms were given life and multiplied on the land and they built ancient cities.\n\nNext were the Beastmen, which descended from the mammals.\u0026nbsp; Chief of these were the Lion men.\u0026nbsp; Then second were the wolf men and the fox men.\u0026nbsp; Third were the sheep men, goat men, and the cattle men.\u0026nbsp; And soon they multiplied on the Earth, as the realms of the Dinosaurs declined and returned to savagery.\u0026nbsp; The Beastmen became ascendent, and they built many cities.\n\nAfter the beastmen came the birds. The anthrobirds included the Archaeopteryx, the eagle, the swan, the ibis, and the peacock.\u0026nbsp; But they formed their societies on islands.\n\nAfter the birds came the apes of the mammals.\u0026nbsp; The apes were made thus: First the elves, then the orcs, and finally Man.\n\n**War of the Sexes**\n\nAfter Man was fully established, Father was pleased.\u0026nbsp; But soon woman and man were contentious with each other.\u0026nbsp; Then the Sex War began.\u0026nbsp; There were many battles.\u0026nbsp; Both sides claimed that God was on their side.\u0026nbsp; However, the men were more pious than the women, and soon God came on the side of men.\u0026nbsp; During five decisive battles, things turned the tide on the side of the males and the war was won and the women were taken captive .\u0026nbsp; Patriarchal order was established among Men, orcs, and elves that day.\u0026nbsp; However, a few free women escaped to a few remote islands where they proclaimed that God was a woman and enslaved the men.\u0026nbsp; And this happened when men had no culture and during the stone age.\n\n**The Ascendency of the Elves**\n\nWhile man still worked with stone, the elves designed bronze weapons of cunning manufacture.\u0026nbsp; During this time the elves took orcs captive and enslaved them.\u0026nbsp; And forced them to work in the mines.\u0026nbsp; This allowed the elves to become very rich.\u0026nbsp; However, the elves only became numerous on the land, they also became very proud, and soon had wars amongst themselves.\u0026nbsp; After the Crown War, between two kingdoms of elves the orcs revolted and threw off their chains.\u0026nbsp; Then, forced to fight a two front war, both Elf nations were destroyed and the remaining elves retreated to the forests while the orcs took the mountains to be their home.\n\n**The Orcs return to the Stone Age.**\n\nWhen the orcs retreated to the mountains, they renounced most technology and returned to a stone age existence.\u0026nbsp; They formed a peaceful religion where they would worship Nature itself.\u0026nbsp; A Shamanistic culture developed among the orcs.\u0026nbsp; Where they regarded all things as having a spirit and worshiped nature. The orcs also developed ancestor worship, and built no cities of technology in the mountains.\n\n**The Ascendency of Man**\n\nMan started working with bronze after their Agricultural Revolution. And during the Crown War of the elves, some men participated in the battle.\u0026nbsp; However, everything changed when Man discovered iron.\u0026nbsp; Now working with iron weapons, Man spread on the land.\u0026nbsp; It was Man that forced the elves into the forests.\u0026nbsp; It was Man that forced the orcs to the mountains.\u0026nbsp; It is man that conquered woman.\u0026nbsp; Now with weapons of iron, Man began to build cities and kingdoms.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
