The project will propably be to big to make it on my own, well it's possible but then I would have to quit school which is not a very good idea
. But hey here it goes;I'll defenitely add my darhjiin and irashi-ru back ingame. It may sounds lame cos it's not a complete new race but this time I decided to work on their background a lot more. The idea is first to create a small housemod in a village and later if I still have the spirit to do it create the rest of the city arround it. But first some continent information;
Xenearinn, a continent about half the size of Tamriel [just a little bit bigger]. As you can see there are only two countries with detailed rivers mountains and forrest. The rest of the continent is still undecided yet. I'll add the races there which I will later create for Oblivion, I mean fresh new designs.
The Darhjiin basicly live in the upper region of the continent called Ijiihlarin, the landmass is devided in two weather regions. The upper region is the dry and hot region but the lower you get the less dry the weather will be and eventually you will end up in the tropical region. This is where the Irashi-ru live, Shi-rinai, a warm island with tropical forrests and green seas.
The island is split into two halfs, the upper half is Shi-rinai and the lower part is undecided yet. This should be a place for a race called Hûmerii.
Some background information about the continent [translated with altavista babelfish so it might be confusing sometimes
] Prepare for a long story [critics are always welcome on the story]note; the "???" stands for a certain race but I'm still not sure about the name same like *** is the name of a certain halfgod.
I'll also try to make a list with foneticaly thingies cos the names can be confusing sometimes
Hope you like itQUOTE
Origin of Xeneariin
Xeneariin existed in former days from a large island with on each side its occupants.
On the North side lived a nomad people called the Darhjiin with the bestial Chinirr, descendants of the Cathay khajiit. The Darhjiin and Chinirr lived their life from spot to spot. The Chinirr protected the caravans with their strenght and the Darhjiin for their part protected the Chinirr during an attack with magic. Both races depended on each other and lived together in harmony.
The Darhjiin and Chinirr based their life on trade and meditation. Both had no religion but on the other hand they believed in reincarnation and ancestor’s spirits. Instead of a god the Darhjiin and Chinirr had their own leader, Veriinum, half man half spirit who functioned as a connection between the differend clans in their country.
In the east the ?????, half animal half people lived. A race that had could never find statisfaction and was always looking for power. The ?? were the first which established himself in cities, carved from the hard and dark stones and mountains in their country. The ?? had a religion in contrast to the Darhjiin and Chinirr. The ?? worshipped their god??, confessed as a god of the war and power.
On the south side of the island lived the, frequently mistaken to be wood elves, Irashi-ru a half eleven race half human race together with the Hûmerii. Together these races lived in the tropical rainforrests which covered their land and used the surrounding nature in their daily life.
The Irashi-ru and Hûmerii also had their own habits and religions. Instead of a god the Hûmerii and Irashi-ru celebrate their gods, or also nature spirits; Yizura guardian of water, Da-ch-izu keeper of the ground, Aseforii guardian of the nature and Tenun-ri master of the weather. The Irashi-ru and Hûmerii lived together, all over their part of the island. Until the day came that the Darhjiin had predicts as "Shinarin", the day of shift.
The day of shift
For years the races each lived on their part of the island, each nation had its own splace and land. In contrast to the other races the ?? had a smaller part of the island because they had share the ground with nobody. The?? which were surprised against the other peoples put their development in accelerated and stamped their cities from the ground to create a powerfull empire.
Their people rapidly started grow and soon they ran out of ground for their people. In the dark shadows of their empire they made a plan to take over other parts of the island. Soon they started expanding their armies. Every single ?? who could fight were used to expand their powerful army.
In spite of the predictions of the Darhjiin the remaining races remained living in peace but were closely watching the growing darkness in the west. Untill the first ?? set foot on their land...
Shinarin
The war had started, the??, led by their god, invaded the remaining countries and slaughtered everyone on their path. The Darhjiin and Chinirr fought together side by side with Irashi-ru and Hûmerii to stop the?? who tried to take over their lands. Then the Darhjiin realised that they were losing the battle they established the Illunarim. A special guild of fighters both combining armed fighting with magic.The Illunarim excisted out of Darhjiin, Chinirr and sand guards. The sand guards had been created by their leader Veriinum. These spirits were pieces of Veriinum himself, so that he could fight with them as half god.
The Irashi-ru and Hûmerii fought against the????? in their own country. Both countries had not been prepared to this war and noticed that they were going to lose the battle agains the??. more and more country and saw its aim always approaching up to on the day that the peoples The ??? started to lose his strenght after a long period of war. The other countries defended their land with everything they could but wouldn’t last very long. So both decided to end the war in the center of the island. The Darhjiin, Chinirr, Irashi-ru and Hûmerii joined together as one army and called themselves the alliance of Aenirun, after an old legend.
The legend of Aeniru
The story goes about an acient woodnimf called Aeniru who gave her life in order to restore the destroyed forrests of the Irashi-ru during the war with ???.
End of the war
The alliance of Aenirun combined their strength and wisdom and headed to the center of the island where they would decide the end of the war. The ?? expected to win when they saw the army of their opponent but during the fight in the middle of the island the ?? were surprised by a strength which they had never experienced before, mortal against halfgods from the alliance. But till that moment the ??? didn’t released their true strength but in the middle of the fight they released **** the son of their god. Also a half god but more powerfull then ever. The alliance of Aenirun gave all they got, their only hope was to destroy the halfgod. them. This fight finished in a fighting between the aliance and the gods which led to an earthquake which would change the island forever. On this spot the alliance succeeded to destroy ****. When the halfgod hit the ground he made with his axe a crater in the ground which caused the earth to break open. This meant for both the ?? and the surviving people a great loss of a lot of fighters. Most of what was left of the ?? fled back to the outer borders of their country and never returned to the battlefield. The remaining alliance returned back to the safer parts of the island.
Time for Changes
The Darhjiin and Chinirr prereservated the Ilunarim but the exhaustion and war led to the loss of their leader Veriinum. The Darhjiin and Chinirr setteled themselves in cities along the coast and at oases where they now continued their profession as traders concerning sea.
For three years the Ilunarim were appointed to control the country. Until at last, after three years their leader returned as Ariisiss, a reïncarnation of their formal leader Veriinum. Ariisiss expanded the settlements to big cities.
The Ilunarim were now appointed as advisors or Ariisiss and as the royal guards and guards of peace in their country, which was now known as Ijiilarim.
Irashi-ru and Hûmerii split and took their own path Each claimed their half of the island but lived still in harmony with each other.
Compaired to Irashi-ru the Hûmerii established themselves just like the Darhjiin in large cities, wile the Irashi-ru remained in their small settlements. Irashi-ru kept their original existence and returned in their cities on water and in the forrests of Shi-rinai...
