WOrlD Of ArOkA

Age of War

As the Awoken continued to rise to power and take up the mantle of leadership among the numerous tribes of the Aroka during the Age of Tribulation, the focus shifted from surviving the natural hazards and monsters of world to competing for the scare natural resources vital for the survival of their growing populations. Tribes that had once cooperated for survival turned on each other. The Awoken led their followers in small skirmishes, slaying all that stood against them and subduing those that surrendered. Soon, numerous tribes were assimilated under the same banner, led by a single Awoken or council of Awoken. What started out as skirmishes for survival quickly escalated to battles for dominance, officially leaving the Age of Trials and entering the Age of War.

Historians also believe that these large communities allowed for the rapid development of weapons of war with the Awoken serving as the catalysts. Those skilled with Magic quickly learned how to maximize its destructive potential, gifted warriors perfected the art of laying waste to opposing armies with all manner of martial weaponry, and intellectuals applied their knowledge to push the limits of their primitive Technologies and allowed millennia of military Technologies to be developed in just a few years. The results were truly devastating as new horrors of war were developed on a daily basis. Thankfully, the gravity of this conflict began to weigh on those waging it and the Age of Healing began before the world could be destroyed.
