Just building a world here for the Rolemaster RPG, nothing major.

In the beginning the world was made by the hand of the Father.&nbsp; Fashioned in a red dwarf star, the world was made according to a hexagonal grid pattern.&nbsp; The reason why the world was made was simply because the Father wanted a place for his children to dwell.&nbsp; The world was made from the six elements. Light, Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Ice.&nbsp; From these six elements were made the materials for the world.&nbsp; The Father made a place for the oceans, and made a place for the Land.&nbsp; And Father was grateful.

Soon, the world was ejected from the sun it was made in.&nbsp; And soon, Terra Syn was given life.&nbsp; While in the plasma sheath of the red dwarf, the first living things were the Eukaryotes.&nbsp; And after the Eukaryotes, were the prokaryotes. Then came algae and other dimunitive organisms.&nbsp; After they, came the other forms of life.&nbsp; After that, the Father initiated the Precambrian Explosion.&nbsp; And when the world was ready, plants came upon Dry Land and spread through out the whole land. Then came the animals.&nbsp; After that, the other forms of life was introduced on dry ground.&nbsp; All in all, the world of Terra Syn took five billion years to complete.

**Races**

The following races lived upon Terra Syn.&nbsp; First where the ancient lizard men.&nbsp; Descended from the dinosaurs, the lizard men included a number of different forms.&nbsp; The most cunning of these were the raptors, followed by the tyrannosaurs who had a penchant for violence, and then others came. &nbsp; And thus these forms were given life and multiplied on the land and they built ancient cities.

Next were the Beastmen, which descended from the mammals.&nbsp; Chief of these were the Lion men.&nbsp; Then second were the wolf men and the fox men.&nbsp; Third were the sheep men, goat men, and the cattle men.&nbsp; And soon they multiplied on the Earth, as the realms of the Dinosaurs declined and returned to savagery.&nbsp; The Beastmen became ascendent, and they built many cities.

After the beastmen came the birds. The anthrobirds included the Archaeopteryx, the eagle, the swan, the ibis, and the peacock.&nbsp; But they formed their societies on islands.

After the birds came the apes of the mammals.&nbsp; The apes were made thus: First the elves, then the orcs, and finally Man.

**War of the Sexes**

After Man was fully established, Father was pleased.&nbsp; But soon woman and man were contentious with each other.&nbsp; Then the Sex War began.&nbsp; There were many battles.&nbsp; Both sides claimed that God was on their side.&nbsp; However, the men were more pious than the women, and soon God came on the side of men.&nbsp; 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 .&nbsp; Patriarchal order was established among Men, orcs, and elves that day.&nbsp; However, a few free women escaped to a few remote islands where they proclaimed that God was a woman and enslaved the men.&nbsp; And this happened when men had no culture and during the stone age.

**The Ascendency of the Elves**

While man still worked with stone, the elves designed bronze weapons of cunning manufacture.&nbsp; During this time the elves took orcs captive and enslaved them.&nbsp; And forced them to work in the mines.&nbsp; This allowed the elves to become very rich.&nbsp; However, the elves only became numerous on the land, they also became very proud, and soon had wars amongst themselves.&nbsp; After the Crown War, between two kingdoms of elves the orcs revolted and threw off their chains.&nbsp; 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.

**The Orcs return to the Stone Age.**

When the orcs retreated to the mountains, they renounced most technology and returned to a stone age existence.&nbsp; They formed a peaceful religion where they would worship Nature itself.&nbsp; A Shamanistic culture developed among the orcs.&nbsp; 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.

**The Ascendency of Man**

Man started working with bronze after their Agricultural Revolution. And during the Crown War of the elves, some men participated in the battle.&nbsp; However, everything changed when Man discovered iron.&nbsp; Now working with iron weapons, Man spread on the land.&nbsp; It was Man that forced the elves into the forests.&nbsp; It was Man that forced the orcs to the mountains.&nbsp; It is man that conquered woman.&nbsp; Now with weapons of iron, Man began to build cities and kingdoms.
