Editing Wakfu (section)

==Dofus Era==
The Dofus era technically began when the god Xelor first made time able to be measured by converting much of his plane into a giant clock, and appointing eleven heroes to guard over the months (different events occurring involving said heroes caused the different months to have different days and holidays. December only exists because Rushu scratched the clock and demanded one of his followers, a being named Djaul and described as a "black dragon", be made a protector as well). Sadida severed his <strike>soil</strike> soul and created ten dolls to seduce the three dragons of Osamodas (creating soul dolls is something the race of Sadidas also practice as a result). The three genderless dragon spirits laid the the six Primordial Dofus from which the first video game derived its name (unrelated to the Eliatrope Dofus other than having the same name, because apparently Dofus just means "dragon egg"), resulting in a race of Dragons in the World of Twelve. The six Primordial Dofus also vanished from history although for a shorter period than the Eliatrope Dofus, eventually turning up in the belly of a slain mortal dragon where they were scattered into the world and fought over by mortals looking to become more powerful by siphoning Wakfu from them (which was more or less the point of the game; collect the Dofus). Additional lesser Dofus exist as well, laid in later ages by mortal dragons along with mock artificial Dofus made from the eggs of other species. 
The Dofus era comprises the general age of the first MMO game. An age of myth preceded it in which heroes rose and wars were fought, mainly between the city states and later kingdoms of Brakmar (city of villains and debauchery, established by Rushu for mortals to worship him after his first invasion) and Bonta (city of heroes and good alignments, established to oppose Brakmar). Bonta and Brakmar would eventually destroy each other, but thanks to the goddess Sacrier fucking up Xelor's clock by accident they kind of blinked out of time then reappeared with their war having ended [[Blood Bowl|(but Wakfu football, "Boufball", is now the battlefield).]] The main events from the age of myth however involve the rise of Goultard, immortal demigod son of Iop. 
Dofus was an anachronistic age of heroic figures plumbing ancient ruins and fighting terrible monsters that threatened to sweep civilization away as fast as it had arisen. The technology and culture of the time was something of a 1970's/1980's version of [[Shadowrun]], with magitek conveniences like televisions and stereo sound systems to amp up rap battles and classic metal music concerts existing alongside standard fantasy things like swords and sorcery, crusades, and plagues on tier with something [[Nurgle]] could whip up. 

The era ended with the rise of Ogrest, which warped the landscape and made even the positions of the very continents unpredictable. 

By the end of the era, the nations that make up the world had come to be:
*Amakna is the largest, consisting mostly of tranquil farmland (their national symbol is a Gobball (a sheep) and one of their champions looks like a massive farmer). 
*Bonta as previously mentioned is the nation of good alignments, but otherwise appears as a more civilized Amakna (or Gondor). 
*Brakmar is the nation of the darker side of the alignment spectrum, and appears rocky and volcanic. The first two humans to ever become Demons lie buried beneath its capital, women are actively barred from things like sports under penalty of death, and executioners are celebrities. 
*Frigost is an icy, frozen nation. Although originally a tranquil place not unlike Amakna and Bonta, the (good natured) meddling of Jiva ended with a Primordial Dofus in the hands of their Xelor leader Count Frigost, resulting in a cataclysmic and permanent winter. 
*Sufokia is a coastal nation of seafaring people. Founded by Foggernauts, it is the most technologically advanced nation and has non-Victorian steampunk vibes. Most of it lies on the ocean floor under a dome.
*Astrub is not a nation per say, rather a large collection of independent communities built around adventurers. 
These nations go to war with each other periodically, but rarely make meaningful gains or have substantial losses. In addition, most races of the world have their own nations separate from those above. It is known the Feca, Xelor, Sadida, Cra, and Eniripsas have their own kingdoms in addition to Ecaflip City. In Season 2 of the Wakfu cartoon a leader representing each of the races of humanity (other than Rogues and Masqueraiders) are present (along with Brakmar, but they still say that it is a council of 12). It is presumed that each class has a kingdom somewhere.

There are also large swathes of unclaimed territory in the world.

===Goultard the Barbarian===
[[Image:Cabotine and Iop.png|thumb|left|Cabotine don't take shit from NO man, not even her own god!]]
Originally detailed in a comic book series, Goultard the Barbarian was remade as Ankama's first animated feature in the Wakfu setting. However, some parts had to be edited for television broadcast (his polygamy for example) and the animation is considered embarrassing by them today so they generally want to pretend it doesn't exist. This was reinforced by the fact that the Kickstarter English dub, which supposedly will include everything, will not have it. Despite this it's quite well done and worth checking out if taken somewhat with a grain of salt.

Goultard was born from the union of the god Iop with one of his mortal followers, named Cabotine. She bore a son, whom she named Goultard, into the world. The two were considered outcasts and were driven from the larger cities into the boonies where Goultard would grow up. One day Goultard's mother was kidnapped by a man-eating Minotaur who had killed several villagers already, and the village simply wrote her off as not worth saving as she had been considered bad luck to begin with. Despite being only a small child at the time, Goultard ventured forth and killed the beast to save her. Rather than seeing him as the hero he was, the two were exiled. 
This set a precedent for his life; killing shit, rescuing females, being a big damn hero. He doinked a lot of random chicks (although rather then being just a pervy wanker, he's described as "being unable to say no to any woman") before finally falling for three good witches. He married them and settled down to raise his children. However, a Sacrier hero possessed by Mongrelamus, Rushu's surviving brother, kidnapped and killed them. 
Goultard fell into a violent rage, killing the Sacrier but being possessed by Mongrelamus and shattering his sword (which he continued to use regardless). His skin and hair color change to blue and white and he became a rampaging brute that could put an [[Warriors of Chaos|Everchosen]] to shame.

Eventually, heroes from Bonta (including another month guardian) managed to calm him for his primary personality to reemerge, before it then split into further personalities (including an even worse one called "Dark Vlad").  He somehow came into possession of one of the Primordial Dofus (the Emerald Dofus, which he stole from Rushu and was a boss for players in the Dofus MMO to fight and beat for it. 
He spent the ages flitting in and out of legends, with the different personalities taking control and leading him on different paths. At some point he fought and defeated Rushu himself (at LEAST once at any rate), and founded an order of Iops dedicated to protecting the world using Shushus bound to swords called Shushu Knights. 

[[Image:Goultard Rushu.JPG|thumb|right|Rushu and Goutlard meet again, for the last time (until next time)!]]
By the time of the Wakfu era, Goultard's own personality (which can best be described as a MUCH more intelligent Goku) was the dominant one again. He discovered a convention of sorts made by his own fans and, displeased by how his entire life had been turned into a way to sell crappy merchandise, he proceeded to wreck the place. 
As he was leaving, a young Iop named Tristepin Percedal ran up to him. He laughed and told the boy that he was too late to buy any Goultard merchandise, but Tristepin said he didn't know what a Goultard was and just wanted to see a fight. He claimed that he would one day be a great warrior known as "Tristepin De Percedal The Barbarian", then asked Goultard to teach him how to fight. At some point down the road, he did just that and made the boy his apprentice. During the Wakfu cartoon series, Tristepin wandered into the desert to die after nearly killing Evangelyne while under possession from his own Shushu blade named Rubilax. Here he discovered the tomb of Goultard, who was at point point killed. His grief was cut short when Goultard chose that moment to somehow simply stop being dead (don't you wish a [[God-Emperor of Mankind|certain someone]] was capable of that) claiming that he had just settled down for a power-nap and his companions had assumed he was dead. 
He arose from his crypt, gave Tristepin a pep talk and helped him reestablish dominance over Rubilax, then wandered off again. In the second season, Rushu manages to open a large portal and the realm of Demons invades the world. While the Brotherhood of Tofu (sans Adamai and Yugo who were off fighting their own battle) and the Foggernaut kingdom of Sufokia held off Rushu's forces, Rushu set forth to finally claim what he felt was his. Almost as soon as he was through the portal however, Goultard appeared and called him stupid (Rushu is sensitive about his intelligence, to the point that a dumb joke (that he gets) is equivalent to calling Marty McFly a chicken). Rushu fought Goultard, and was easily defeated. Goultard revealed that he was the new incarnation of Iop (for the record, a god passing down the title has never happened before), and watched as Rushu consumed his entire army (which consisted of all Demons and Shushus in his domain) to become powerful enough to rival Goultard. Goultard tackled him back through the portal he'd come from, which closed behind them. During the fight itself, he made a comment to Tristepin (who wanted to come with him) along the lines of "Stay here, daddy." Not long after he found out Evangelyne was pregnant (among other things). 
Goultard appeared again in the OVAs, having beat most of Shukrute into submission and re-entering the world again to be there for his apprentice.

===Dofus: The Treasures of Kerubim===
The cartoon featuring the Dofus era came after the Wakfu cartoon, but predates it by an entire era in-story. It revolves around an elderly Ecaflip gentleman named Kerubim telling stories of his youth (and romantic exploits, which mainly involve his attempts to win the love of his life; an Ouginak named Lou) to his adopted son Joris (who in a heart-melting way calls Kerub "Papycha") and his live-in Osamodas maid Simone who's arrival to the town begins the series and who's leaving the town ends it. Kerub has long since retired from being an adventurer, and instead set up shop inside a Shushu house selling his own souvenirs to adventurers.
A subplot involves Simone's lesbian relationship with an Ecaflip named Julie (meaning it'll never see daylight in the US as anything other than an Adult Swim show unless they become French-kissing cousins, pun intended) which was tastefully handled. In Kerub's shop many things are seen in the background, including a Primordial Dofus and Rubilax. 
This cartoon was generally self-contained stories, and had very little relevance to any ongoing plot other than world-building. An upcoming movie continues the story, and possibly explains how Joris seems to be an immortal being by the time of the Wakfu era. 

Although it isn't touched upon in the cartoon, the Dofus vidya had Kerub as an NPC who would provide silly flavor text when shown different items. A quest revealed that he is in fact a literal son of Ecaflip, making him a demigod similar to Goultard. Unlike Goultard however, Kerub becomes an old man physically.
