Elpis, long ago, was a simple land ruled by two mighty empires. The Dwarves, proud and kind, skilled with hammer and ax, ruled the West half of the land. The Elves, selfish and arrogant, skilled with bow and blade, ruled the Eastern half. There was uneasy peace, and mainly tranquility. Until the humans came. They landed on the western shores, in the dwarven empire. The dwarven people welcomed them with open arms and kindness. They cared for and pitied the humans, for they seemed to have a lack of skill. However, the dwarves soon discovered that the humans had many talents. The humans were fairer than elves, and more potent with bow and blade, and faster growing in population. This threatened the elves. They hated the humans, and gathered their forces and threatened the dwarves with war. The only way out would be the the death of every last human within the lands. The dwarves were outraged, and attacked all nearby elven forces, forcing them out of Western Elpis. The elven armies pushed back, and began the bloody war that ravaged the lands. The humans felt terrible and grieved for the destruction they had caused, and armed themselves. They marched on Ceris, the elven capital, and used their efficiency in combat to take the city, andforce the Elf King to submit. The years that followed were filled with peace. The dwarves, thankful for the humans' assistance, built a human city, known as Philos. The human kingdom prospered, and expanded beyond the normal borders of Elpis, and growing, growing, growing.

Centuries later, the human kingdom has expanded Elpis to twice its original size, and remained true to the dwarves' trust. Still, though, the relationship with elves remains tense, and the bordering nations would destroy each other at the first chance.

RACES:
Humans- Kind and the most skilled of the races, these tall, fair people have been friends with the dwarves for centuries. They treat the races living under them with fairness and respect.
Dwarves: The kind and proud, most skilled smiths and architects of the land, these short, stocky, yet varying people have many lands, and are the brothers of the humans. The females, however, are tall, fair, and have no facial hair, other than thin brows. They are commonly mistaken for humans, save for their purple or yellow eyes.
Elves- These are the proud and selfish hunters and huntresses of the East, and hate the humans with all of their hearts.

SUB-RACES (minor, less populated races controlled by one of the 3 empires.):

Human Kingdom Sub-Races:
Hobbits- Peaceful and hard-working, these quaint and short people are hard-working, and are fast friends with the humans, building roads, outposts, and some small villages for the humans and themselves.
Kopinians- These are the tall, short-haired trainers and teachers of humans. They are scholars and tutors of human tacticians. They are small in population, but long-living. They are meant to sharpen the already-acute tactical brains of human future tactic geniuses.

Dwarven Empire Sub-Races:
Goblins- These are the hard-working & loyal Dwarven front-liners, and are the first sent in to fight in wars. They look much like dwarves, but have bald heads and are shorter, with big eyes, and grey-ish skin.
Golems- The giants of dwarven mountains, they are solely made for serving dwarves. They guard the cities, and protect the nobles, and rarely see real combat.

Elven Dominion Sub-Races:
Orcs- Strong, burly, dark-skinned, and tall warriors, these are the main smiths and royal guard in the elven lands.
Dark Elves- A race of elven descendants, these elves blend with shadows, and are the spies, thieves, and assassins in the elven empire.
Wood Elves- Like the dark elves, these are the descendants of elves. But, they are the hunters and guards of smaller villages.

PLAYABLE RACES- (FOR NOW)
Humans
Dwarves
Hobbits

Prologue-

Captain James of clan Worn-Blade sighed. It was another peaceful, boring day. It was noon and not even a thief had turned up. Even the sun seemed to be bored as it slowly, dully slithered across the sky. One of his scouts entered the East Guard Tower of the walled city of Teros. "Sir, we found a bloody man half-dead along the road about a mile away from here. Said he came from Polemistis. Babbling somethin' 'bout elves. I thought you might want to come." the young scout said. "Very well," said the guard captain, "Bring me to him."
The man wore a ripped white and brown tunic, with torn black leather boots, and holed pants. His eyes were a dark green, and his hair was golden-blonde, shining brightly in the dimly lit room. Captain James recognized this man at once as his cousin Jonathan, a farmer in Polemistis. "Jon, what happened?" the captan asked urgently. "Th... elves..." he replied tiredly. "The elves? The elves what?" the captain nervously inquired. Suddenly, his head came up, and his pained, gashed, burned face showed. "They destroyed the city. All of it. It's just a stone ruin by now. Catapults, soldiers, magic.... it was overwhelming. I ran as fast as I could, but a few elves caught up with me. I broke my sword killin' 'em... about 3 of them, from what I reca-" he stopped and his head slumped back down. Captain James stood, and pointed to one of his men. "You. Get him to the infirmary, and feed him, treat his wounds, and get him better." He stopped and looked at another. "You, call for an evacuation of woman and child alike, and prepare the defenses. Call upon all guards, tell them to get to defensive positions. We're killin' elves tonight." he finished, then ran off to his original post, watching the citizens hurriedly evacuating. They would probably head to Philos. Safest city he could imagine. He looked out on the horizen, seeing an army approaching. "We'll give 'em hell." he said with a grin.

Prologue, Extended-

The city of Philos was bustling and loud, as shoppers and business men alike hurried about, attempting to get to their destinations on the mountain city. Up on the top, guarded by a hundred men, sat the palace, Caelum. Inside, guarded by a hundred more men whose armor reflected clearly on the granite floor, sat King Konig on his large gold throne, speaking to his steward about the bordering land to the north, known as Bahaya, a strange and alien land. Its forces had been spotted near the border, threatening to attack. The steward, as always, wanted to send a diplomat to them, while Konig wanted to place a few of his own forces near the border, discouraging the enemy from attack.

Suddenly, the large door burst open as one of the guards ran to the king's golden throne. He was sweaty and pale, more from fear than from the nervousness of standing before the king. "Sir, the women and children of Teros come to our aid, reporting that a large elven force took their city, and apparently Polemistis as well. How can we react?" said the guard urgently. The king stood and grabbed his sword. "Rally up a force of three thousand and tell them to get to the front gate. Tell all citizens to get to their homes, and lock their doors. We march tonight." Konig said confidently.

Chapter 1: The Charge on Fort Vouno, Part 1


Alatus stared at the large recruitment building. It was made from mostly stone, and even through the thick wooden door, he could hear the loud noise of the young men and women inside. He took a deep breath, and entered. After receiving and filling out the form, he waited. Hours passed, and he waited patiently, sitting on the hard wooden bench.
Finally, the time came. A tall man stepped on to the stage, calling for the attention of the people inside. "The list has been made, and all who are accepted today is on it. We begin with the A's. Please be quiet and listen closely for your name." he said, starting down the list. The procession was slow, as most were accepted. Alatus wondered why it took so long, when usually only a hundred or so showed up per week. But today, there were at least four hundred in the large mead hall. "Why are there so many people here?" he asked one of the surrounding men. He seemed about 6 feet tall, and lean & muscular. "Because today is the recruitment of general Tharrhountes Kolasee, or 'Courageous Inferno' in the old tongue."
At this, Alatus was breathless. Tharrhountes Kolasee was one of the most legendary of all humans. He, with a hundred men, fought off an elven force of two thousand, using his tactical genius and strategic prowess. However, this also took all hope from Alatus. If Tharrhountes was the one recruiting, then there was no way he could possibly be accepted.
Then, when Alatus began to think about getting up and leaving, he heard it. "Alatus of clan Storm-Blade."

Chapter 1 pt. 2: Clashing Blades.

Ivan Melkovic awoke with a start. The men outside were busily running about, picking up the large camp from the night before. He sighed and stood, walking outside. He looked around at the vast fields surrounding them. "Nothing but grass and dirt for miles," Ivan though to himself. He lazily began to pack up his and his partner's, a burly dwarf with an axe the size of Ivan's body, tent.
As soon as he finished, he gathered his things (a sword, a shield, a few simple foodstuffs and some water), and equipped his Philosian (Philosian referring to the special craftsmanship of Philos) armor, and the walked to the gathering of men. There were several map tables set up, and one could see the inevitable goal of the large force. "Ah, we're headed to Fort Dinami, then." said a hobbit next to Ivan. "Yes. I heard there's already a few hundred men who tried to take it and are still there in dwindling number. Basileian knights were doing all they could to keep from dying." said a human, about Ivan's ag.e, across the table. "Should be interesting," Ivan said.

Another three days had passed before they arrived. The sky was laden with smoke and there was a camp at the base of a stony hill. A tall Kopinian stepped out of the camp and began speaking with Tharrhountes. The Kopinian ran back to the camp. The general began calling out orders. The sword-and-shieldsmen began running up the hill. Ivan followed the large procession as other ranks formed a defensive line. The first clash was violent and quick. The humans began gaining ground, but another large group of elves came out. Ivan finally got close enough to fight, and jabbed his blade into one. Then one saw him, and attacked. Ivan barely managed to parry the attack and thrust his shield forward. He did a horizontal strike, and caught the elf's chain-mail. The elf shouted "Human scum!" then attempted to bring his sword down on Ivan's head. He raised his shield and blocked it, then thrust his steel blade into the elf just as the man at the head of the human force called out,"Retreat!", and the men began to fall back as catapults hit the fort's walls and knocked the stone almost all the way down.
The elves began firing arrows, but their hits failed to make contact as the swordsmen had already made it down the hill.
Ivan found that only a fraction of the swordsmen had gone, and most stayed back on Tharrhountes's orders. The catapults began firing full force, now, as half the berserkers charged up, shouting with fierce battle cries. They met an elven crowd and quickly made their way into the fort itself, but backed up because of the large amount of enemies inside.
The gates closed and the battle quieted. The men prepared themselves as spearmen blocked the front exit (there was a back road, but it was small and the humans didn't care if the elves retreated.) with shields and spears forward in a wall position, and the catapults ceased firing. The archers flanked the spearmen with arrows at the ready. Cavalry awaited Tharrhountes's order. Suddenly, the gates opened and a group of twenty-or-so elves came marching down with a white flag, meaning negotiations were soon to be in effect.
"General Procerus offers terms of surrender," said the head elf. "What are these terms," asked Tharrhountes. "Surrender of the fort as long as we are aloud your plans and documents." said the elf. "Garbage!" Ivan shouted out loud. "If we wanted to, we would tear every last one of you apart, and behead any elf who survives the battle, and you expect US to give you anything! Outrageous!" he finished. Shouts of approval came from many of the men. "Silence," said Tharrhountes. "Very well. War it is, then," said the general.
The battle began again, and a ram was brought up the hill. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. The gate broke apart and berserkers lead the charge in as cavalry sped past them. The hundred or so remaining elves tried to fight among the huge crowd, but could not, and were run down. Tharrhountes walked to a closed and apparently locked door. A few men walked up with a smaller ram, but he motioned for them to stop. He thrust his foot into the door and broke it down. He lead a few men in, and talking could be heard in the building. Then, the elf general from before flew out and landed on the ground. Tharrhountes exited and scowled. The elf stood and drew a sword. He charged, but Tharrhountes just slashed him down, fast and agile as lightning. "Victory!" he shouted, and the men cheered. Ivan grinned and raised his sword high. It truly was a victory.

Try to revise that a bit more, like saying "battle axe" rather than "pole axe", a few grammar revisions, and make it a bit more descriptive. Don't worry; you needn't rush as I'll be making this story for a while.
