Elqanah
(el-kaw-naw)
Elqanah (or God has created in Hebrew) is a magic land that I created for my fantasy characters. The world's history is split up into two eras. The first 4,000 years are before the coming of Elqanah's Savior. A time of political separation between the elves and the humans. Laws are harsh to keep morality in check. The second era is after the promised Savior comes to Elqanah to save the world from evil. It is a time of partial companionship of all the peoples. While there is no open war, the factions of beings do have some difficulties getting along.
1st Era
There is a dangerous war going on between the humanistic elves and the religious humans.
King Orthorien leads his elven people from the capital of Lostariel. He is a just king with regal leadership, but isn’t afraid to sacrifice a life for the greater good of his people. The elven prince, Aeremar, is not next in line to be heir to the throne even though he is the oldest son of Orthorien. The elves believe that KemenGûl (elvish translation is earth magic or science) dictates who can be the greatest leaders by allowing them to be born with blue eyes and blonde hair. Since Aeremar was born with brown hair and green eyes, this leaves him out of the race to be king. Political matters mean little to him though, his childhood dream has always been to be a ranger and travel Elqanah on missions defending his kingdom.
The elves practice the art of KemenGûl to perform acts of magic and science. They use what they learn from the earth to explain their origins and heritage. With Bellrauthien as the general of their army, they have a formidable force on the battlefield.
The humans are led by King Aryeh from the capital of Kevod. He is a good king but he is easy to anger and very prideful. The king’s guard has become legend as the best military force Elqanah has ever seen. Mordecai is the captain of the king’s guard and is known for his unshakable faith and sense of justice. He is the first to defend the helpless and he passes this morality on to his son, Ananias. With fierce strength and loyalty Ananias is becoming known as one of the greatest warriors in the human army.
The humans practice Christianity and can easily get caught up in the legalism of the religion. Their view of origins and morality come from the Bible. The change in opinions between the humans and elves has caused The Great War and separated the races.
With neither side willing to give any ground, the war carries on claiming many lives and destroying land. Will this war rage on forever, or can someone save it from a terrible fate?
