History

The first intelligent beings to exist in Hivus were the nature spirits of the Home World. The sprites lived peacefully in an ancient primordial paradise while the planet and the rest of the realm developed.

However, that peace was broken when the Darkust arrived. They came from the Dark World on a meteorite, and quickly began infesting the entire planet.

The nature spirits could do nothing but watch as their world was consumed by the parasites, they resigned themselves to their fate and slipped silently into the oblivion their world had become.

However, all was not lost, the nature spirits encountered a whole new species when they retreated deep below the planet's surface, the ancestral Changeling species. The nature spirits discovered the spark of sentience in these creatures, and realized that they had to try and take back the planet for it's future inheritors.

The spirits forged the automatons to defeat the Darkust, it was successful, but not completely, so the automatons built advanced technology to aid them in their war against the Darkust.

Eventually the automatons won by building starships and bombing the Darkust to dust. After defeating their parasitic enemy, the automatons sunk their starships into the Home World's oceans, hid all of their advanced cybernetic technology, and shut down so to await the day the Changelings discovered them.

When the Changelings finally did emerge from underground, they were still a small race of primitives, and they had no idea of the epic struggle that had ragged above them over the course of their development.

The discovery of the portals and the automatons led to the creation of the Changeling's “Elven” society, and the founding of the Home World capital.

Sometime after the construction of the capital city, the realm lord Divergus arrived in Hivus and was declared emperor.
