Shattering Shield

HUMANUM


Advanced Ancestory

The Humanum are a race of homonids unlike the natives of Edenson. Bearing smooth, leathery skin with patches of hair and comparatively barren of featrues. As implied, the Humanum didn't always call Edenson home. They hailed from Mundus Ignis Manes.

Before the planet was plunged into a seemingly eternal age of anarchy, Mundus was a world of Technology and wonderful invention. Skyscrapers that pierced the stars, laser weaponry, personal stemcell grown replacement organs, advanced heads-up displays in their helms. Extremely light and protective armor called "Kevlar" or "Clothplate."

A pity then that such a people was lead by a shadowy cabal of "presidents." People oft disappearing when they got too close to the truth. Another problem that plauged Mundus was the illegalization of religion.

The founders of "The Ricci Dynasty" did this in an attempt to wrestle control of humanity's fate from the gods. And so, the dark gods cursed Mundus with an aura of Chaos. One that would keep Mundus disunified for eternety.

The End of Civil life on Mundus came with an event called "The Crisis of the First Century." A thermonuclear exchange that tarnished the land forever. However, there was a measure to endure humanity's survival. Transdimensional portals were built. Initally as a source of exploration, but in the face of nuclear armogeden, there were the last hope of the Humanum. They were divided into three groups.

The Humanum of Mundus, who struggled to survive in chaos.
The Humanum of EisWelt, who became enslaved by the Draekile
And The Humanum of Edenson, who continued Human Excellence.

Humanity was, at first, very hostile to it's new neighbors. Under the last of the Ricci line, Slave King Tiberius. Eventually, a Rebellion in Igytius led to the founding of a Republic called "Concilium Principale Hominis" or "Soverign Council of Man." Upon the defeat and execution of Tiberius, there was peace on Edenson for a time.

Aurelia and THE CATACLYSM

When the Draekile were first defeated by the Humanum, the were NOT treated well. When the Flandereich rose and defeated the C.P.H., the Draekile in turn did NOT treat the Humanum well either. Enslaving them, as well as eradicating their culture, for four centuries. Marca Aurelia was known as Boudica Deuscale before her rise. An Heir to the dynasty of the Reichskommisariat Deuscale, in the Red Penninsula.

However, she discovered her heiratige and rebelled reinstated Humanum self-actulization under her Deutinium. However, Aurelia's heart had been hardened by Hatred. Her newfound Humanum values perverted by ideas of revenge for four centuries of Humanum humiliation. As such, she yearned for a world were the Dragon did not exist. A world where all was right under her silver sun.

And so she began a genocidal campaign against the Großerdraekisch Reich. However, Blinded by her hatred, she did not realize that the Draekile had summoned a finger of Fa'Ran to puncture a hole into the mantle of Edenso. Using Satillite weapons reclaimed from Mundus, she repelled the finger. But the blood that finger sprayed mixed with the tons of stone that permiated the atmosphere. Blanketing Edenson in thick green smog for Centuries to come.

Many would attribute the cataclysm to Aurelia's recklessness.
