300 Bonus Adventure Planning 2 (1/2)

Truen eventually found his work tempo after spending a week in Half Moon Village. The adventuring party was nice enough to delay their set off to accompany the lost wood elf and help him settle into life on Earth.

Olaf was amused that the powerful founder of the Onion Union still struggled with some human concepts. As a Frost Dragon, he didn't take particular interest in the affairs of power-hungry monarchs. However, Truen tried to understand these fickle factions that were forever changing. His ignorance stuck out painfully like a sore thumb and the adventurer's guild almost tossed him out. If not for Vrald and Gerlad's support to vouch for the wood elf, the humans would never have accepted the weirdo to register.

After all, humans and elves were currently at war with each other over a piece of forest.

Truen didn't think that his appearance would cause such a fuss over the registration counter. He certainly didn't belong to the long-eared elves that resided in the Great Forest of Altear.

Earth was split into nine main domains and powerful factions each belonging to a different race. Truen learnt that as an elf, he should look out and avoid conflicts with humans and the supernatural. Altear was currently at war with the humans who burned down a portion of the forest without permission. The elves were also busy guarding against the necromancers of the United Nation of the Uncanny who have kidnapped many of their kin to perform rituals. These necromancers didn't just kidnap elves, they kidnapped anyone they could lay their hands on.

Nine Factions:

1. Smargdas Kingdom - Human faction and smallest faction, severely politically unstable

2. Great Forest of Altear - Elf faction and most ancient faction, rich with history

3. Derby Desert - Gnome faction and most scientifically advanced civilisation

4. Indra Seagloo - Merfolk faction and the most politically uninvolved faction who prefer to be mysterious

5. Rocket Mountains - Dwarf faction and the most economically advanced faction with great skill sets

6. Magnus Hilda - Giant faction and the most neutral faction, currently facing a huge internal crisis due to a plague breakout threatening the race's extinction

7. Lycantopia - Beastfolk faction and with the most warriors, constantly at war against humans who capture them as prisoners of war to be sold as slaves

8. United Nation of the Uncanny - Supernatural creatures faction and currently having a severe civil war

9. Mystic Meadows - Mythical folk faction and is under the protection of all other factions after a peace treaty has been signed with them, is currently the ruling faction with the greatest power over all other factions

At the same time, Truen learnt that humans had bad blood with beastfolks, elves and the surprisingly elusive sea folks. The sea people didn't bother any other factions simply because nobody attempted to travel across their territory. Humans have created ships and had many sunken during the voyage to trade goods. Unlike the other factions who either stuck to themselves and minded their own business or used magic to travel and transport items, humans were at a disadvantage without superior strength, technology or magic.
