With Thanksgiving coming up, I'm just gonna continue to post the History of the World I've created. I think it is really cool just to sit back and realize that I did make this, and to see if it will ever go anywhere in the future. I think what is awesome about this is it isn't very in depth, but eventually I'll go back and make it so there are actually stories to along with these broad history summaries. You'll have to forgive me if some of my thoughts while writing are jumbled.
Also - my story writing is going great. I've gotten past the first four chapters and chugging along beautifully!! Once Illum basically gets chased out of the Palace - Enochi Tower - the story will be easier to write - at least until the climatic ending. 😃
Don't forget to read the other ones - Part I, Part II, Part III,and Part IV.
This post has even more of a story to it than the last one. Hope you enjoy.
The Fifth Aidis
The Fifth Aidis was an Okred named Jehoiada. Jehoiada was trained by his parents in the way of the Aidis, and told him stories of the previous Aidis. Jehoiada eventually was able to enter into the Vikken State and was the first Aidis to communicate with their previous lives. All four of them counseled and trained Jehoiada. They made him into a powerful and wise leader. Jehoiada became a more recognizable figure after he started making a difference for the Okred people.
They were highly impoverished. Jehoiada was given the words of Viius to help the poor. So Jehoiada used all his wisdom to bring the Okreds out of their poverty. He created jobs – mostly commercial. What was considered the King of the Okreds eventually decided to make Jehoiada the prime minister of the Okreds.
Jehoiada began requesting trade with the Dwarfish Kingdom, the Saphid Kingdom, and the Elvish Kingdom. He attempted to commence trade with humanity, but humanity treated him with great contempt. Humanity still remembered that the Okreds had once invaded their lands, and they refused to let such a thing happen again.
Jehoiada eventually saw the Okred Kingdom grow in power. The people of his kingdom became very supportive of him. They even planned to oust the King of the Okreds and replace him with Jehoiada. However, Jehoiada intervened – saving the Okred Kings life. He announced that he was leaving political life at a time when the Okred Kingdom was prospering. He opened up a Library – later called the Library of Jehoiada – and filled it with knowledge that he gained from the kingdoms that the Okreds traded with. Jehoiada wrote many books of wisdom, and guidelines for his people. The Okred King constantly sought his advice, to which Jehoiada wrote a book specifically for the Okred King, instructing him on how to rule properly.
Eventually Jehoiada received the words of Viius to go to human lands. Viius wanted Jehoiada to bring balance back to humanity. To stop his most loved creation from constantly fighting and killing each other. He left Dokel and traveled to the lands of Man.
Mankind despised him. They refused to listen to him and often tried to fight him, to which he would simply leave, only using magic to knock those who attacked him off their feet. The hatred in mankind was so much that Jehoiada left the Lands of Man and traveled to Shilvé, the capital of the Elvish Kingdom. He sought the wisdom of the Elves. The Elvish council brought Jehoiada to the Viius Sanctum, hoping that he would receive a vision from Viius.
After weeks of meditation, Jehoiada finally received words of wisdom from all the previous Aidis’ and from Viius. He saw Viius in a vision as he touched the giant Kide Crystal in the Viius Sanctum. Viius showed him that mankind would be united one day – by an Aidis; however, it would not be him who united mankind. Viius told Jehoiada that he must not give up however; because the seeds that he plants now will grow fruitful eventually. Humanity needs to know that not all of the Okreds are trying to kill them.
Jehoiada then prepared to leave the Elvish Kingdom, when Lord Jehoiakim of the Elves stopped him. He warned Jehoiada that war was coming, and that the world was in grave danger. He asked who would start this war, to which Jehoiakim sadly said it would be the Okreds. Jehoiada acknowledged this and left, to fulfill the words of Viius.
After many years of failure, he finally was accepted by some humans. These humans were unlike the others. They were devout followers of Viius and sought to keep in balance with him. Jehoiada stayed with these humans for a while, until one day he received the words of Viius. Viius told him it was time to pass the Spirit of Lumir to someone new. The new holder of the spirit would be the soon to be born child of the family who took him in.
During the following months, Jehoiada began writing instructions about the Aidis. He gave it to the family who took him in, and explained it to them to the best of his abilities. The family accepted this responsibility. When the child was born – a daughter named Hilkiah – Jehoiada took the child and said the words as he passed on the Spirit of Lumir. Jehoiada was greatly weakened as almost all of his powers left his body. As soon as the Spirit of Lumir was safely embedded inside of Hilkiah, Jehoiada began to return to Dokel.
When he reached the nearest harbor, he noticed that an Okred army camp was set up. The Okred commander walked out and greeted Jehoiada. Jehoiada questioned why a small Okred army was on human lands. The commander explained that the war with the humans was about to begin. Jehoiada questioned this. The commander then apologized and ordered his men to arrest Jehoiada. Jehoiada being weak, could do nothing to stop this. He was loaded on a boat, and shipped back to Dokel.
On his way, Viius spoke to Jehoiada. Jehoiada had believed that Viius had forsaken him, but listened willfully to his words. Viius told him not to be afraid. He said that he had done his duty as the Aidis well, and has prepared the way for the future. Viius then explained that death was upon Jehoiada, but that he should not fear death. Viius explained that his body would be destroyed, but his spirit would live on.
Jehoiada listened and was not afraid. When he was brought to Dokel, he was deeply saddened. The Library of Jehoiada had been burned. The Temple of Viius was destroyed – it was replaced with a Temple of Kyyja. Jehoiada was brought before the new King of the Okreds – Nahashnabal – the son of the previous king, who had passed away under odd circumstances.
Nahashnabal accused Jehoiada as a traitor. He was the only one who knew Jehoiada had returned to Dokel, besides the soldiers who brought him there and the commander. Nahashnabal then told Jehoiada his plans to invade the mainland and to show the world that the Okreds were a force not to be trifled with. Jehoiada demanded to know why the king had turned his back on his people.
Nahashnabal explained that he fell under the teachings of Kyyja. He explained that she promised the Okreds a chance to rule. He also said that the people needed to rally behind a strong leader. He told Jehoiada that he killed his father one night, and blamed it on a group of rebels. He then claimed that the rebels were the followers of Viius, and that it was Viius who had ordered the attack on his father. He then explained that Kyyja had luckily protected him from the attack. Then Kyyja appeared before the people and explained what had happened. She told them that Viius was to blame; as were the humans who he loved so much. Kyyja then demanded that the Temple of Viius be destroyed, and the priests killed as well. Then a new temple be made in her honor.
Then one night, Kyyja set fire to the Library of Jehoiada. Nahashnabal explained that he told his people that it was humans who had done this. The people believed him and wanted to have revenge on the humans. Nahashnabal then said that he and Kyyja hatched a plan to invade the human lands – a plan that would rally all of the Okreds against the humans.
Nahashnabal then explained that Jehoiada himself would be the scape goat. That once Jehoiada was killed and his body was desecrated, that the Okreds would be told that the humans did this and that his body was recovered by soldiers who were requested by Jehoiada to come help him flee the human lands. Nahashnabal was proud about this plan.
At this moment Jehoiada was given the words of Viius – to tell Nahashnabal that his dynasty, his line, would end when he was old in age. And that he would be driven into madness, and would eventually would be burned by fire, from his foolishness by attacking Viius’ chosen people. Jehoiada told Nahashnabal these words, and Nahashnabal became furious. He grabbed a spear and threw it at Jehoiada, fatally injuring him. Jehoiada however, pulled the spear out and stood back up. He then said that Viius was with him, and that Nahashnabal had doomed the Okred race. That he was to blame for the destruction of his own people. And that in the end, he would burn in the fires of his failure. Nahashnabal then began beating Jehoiada. But Jehoiada refused to give Nahashnabal any leverage. He just stared at the King, with the greatest amount of disappointment and sadness. Then Nahashnabal took his sword and slayed Jehoiada. He then desecrated Jehoiada’s body.
The following day, Nahashnabal brought Jehoiada’s body out of the palace, and into the courtyard. The people gathered around their king and fallen Aidis. The King then claimed that his body was recovered by his forces that were sent to rescue Jehoiada from the humans, and that the humans had killed Jehoiada and desecrated his body. He blamed his people for not allowing him to act soon enough. He claimed that the humans would be destroyed for this outrage or enslaved. The people agreed and the Okreds prepared for invasion.
In the years that followed, the Okreds began invading the Dwarfish Kingdom – and succeeded. Their goal was to secure the Forge from the Dwarves and use it to fuel their armies. However, the Dwarves managed to hide the Naphtali’s Staff deep inside of a cave guarded by a Forest Dragon Lord. The Forge was placed under heavy guard and the Dwarves were subjugated to Okred rule. The Okreds forced the Dwarves to work for them and to gather resources for their growing empire. Then Nahashnabal prepared to invade the Saphid controlled Aona Islands. He used the resources he gained from the Northern forest – harvested by his Dwarfish slaves – to create a massive and heavily armored fleet of ships.
He then sent an invasion fleet to the Aona Islands and began to take it over, crushing the Saphid Naval Fleet, despite the Saphid superior naval tactics. Once the Saphid fleet was destroyed, the Aona Islands slowly began to fall under the growing Okred Empire. Once the Saphids were enslaved, they were forced into cruel submission. Their temples were destroyed and the Okreds dealt with Saphid dissenters by public execution.
