Editing Banestorm (section)

==General History==
Long ago, the [[Elves]] and [[Dwarves]] were at war with the [[Orcs]]. Eventually a subsect of the elves got sick of all the [[Waaagh|Waaaghs]], and decided that they would create a magical mega-storm to wipe the orcs out or teleport them to a different world. 

Unfortunately, the elves were [[elves|arrogant and overconfident]], and so they fucked up the spell. Instead of wiping out the orcs, they wiped out [[FAIL|half of the elven settlements]] and summoned various races from across the universe. [[Humans]] came from Earth, in varieties of Christianity, Islam and even Judaism, Paganism, and Buddhism. Predictably, [[skub|the different religions didn't get along,]] and soon began to war with each other. 

But they were not the only ones to come to Yrth. From a world known as Gabrook, there came [[Goblins]], [[Hobgoblin|Hobgoblins]], [[Kobolds]] and [[Lizardfolk|Reptile Men]]. From a world known as Loren'dil came [[Centaurs]], [[Giant|Giants]], [[Halflings]], and [[Minotaurs]]. And from yet another world known as Olokun came [[Merfolk]], Octo-folk, and Shark Men.

Naturally, chaos reigned for a little while as the elves fought for their survival, the dwarves holed up in their mountains, the orcs were pushed back into a small corner of the world, and everyone else was desperate to figure out what the hell was going on and finding places to live. The various human civilizations took control quickly however, and Muslim and Christian empires alike quickly spread throughout Yrth.

Humans are now the dominant species on Yrth, and have several empires and kingdoms scattered across the world. Most races have conformed to their beliefs and empires, but many more live outside of human civilization.
