Recent History
since 2001, 2000, the year the game began, and if your character is more than 10 years old and Unitarian, very likely lived through these events. These are the most important events that have occurred since the beginning of the game. Many royals have come and gone, and so they are absent from this summary unless completely necessary to explain events.
Year One (2000)
As the kingdom continued out of the Age of Darkness, a mysterious call from afar caused the air dragons to desert Shadow Star, and the bond creatures that returned and replaced then were ryuuki.

The following covers a few thousand years of history of the world of the Shadow Star RPG. The attempt has been made to make summaries of all the important points of history relevant to the game.
Ancient History
The ancient history of the world of Shadow Star begins with understanding the creationmyth. In summary, the mother goddess, Irotana, created Calacia, and then birthed five children in this order: Tyrea (goddess of Earth), Aeryon (god of Air), Laugar (god of Water), Claeryn (god of Fire), and TheNamelessOne (goddess of Chaos). These gods created species for each of their own realm, and in the very beginnings, each realm warred against the other in the Realm Wars, though the specifics of such an ancient event have been forgotten.

The creations made by the goddess of Chaos were seen as abominations, and the gods of earth, air, fire, and water banded together against the forces of their youngest sibling Chaos. A great war broke out against the forces of Chaos, and in the struggle the gods of earth, air, fire, and water created the druids and bondcreatures to aid in the fight, and the goddess of Chaos made her own bond creatures to answer those of her siblings. The battle between the forces of Chaos and the rest of Irotana's children has continued for an entire age, and the battle continues even today, most often between the isle of Shadow Star and the isle of Chaos.

First offenses against any of the rules results in a public warning. Further infractions within a reasonable period of time will be dealt with as the mods see fit.
Don't post before having your character approved. We require character approval of all PCs by the mods. NPCs do not generally require approval. Any characters being altered or updated are subject to review by the mods, who may ask for modification.
Many plots go on at one time in Shadow Star; sometimes several taking place in the past while others take place a few days or weeks later. Characters are allowed to be in multiple threads at once.
This is not a chat room RPG; so please don't write like you would in a chat room. Write in proper story format. Third person past tense! If you're looking to get power characters such as royals, guildmasters, or powerful mages and knights, be creative, write well, and be detailed.

# The first and most important rule is: be creative and have fun!
# Many plots go on at one time in Shadow Star; sometimes several taking place in the past while others take place a few days or weeks later. Characters are allowed to be in multiple threads at once.
# The main list is PG-13; anything which goes beyond that needs to be taken to Shadow Star Adult. If you\'re not sure if what you\'re writing is over PG-13, contact the mods.
# Shadow Star is not D&D. Nor is it Middle Earth. Please do not confuse it with either of those, or any other random fandom. Read the Guide instead.
# No controlling another\'s character without permission. This includes auto-hits or auto-kills. You can swing at the other character all you want, but give the other player a chance to react. That in mind...
# No playing invincible. This is also called god-moding. Be realistic! Don\'t have your character be fired at five times and not get hit once. Also don\'t have spells that there are no way out of.

Because the Dispassionate Man disappeared from existence (following another long, complicated storyline which totally created a time paradox -_-), Water King Jerry became crazed for revenge and tracking the former Thieves Guildmaster down.
The Water King threw the underground in turmoil as he ordered the Water Knights and Water Guards to round up thieves, and the Wolfpack, a freelancer gang, helped to find and torture these Guilders. Because the Dispassionate Man was nowhere to be found, the Thieves Guild disbanded among extreme infighting and arrests made by Water realm knights.
