A Brief History[edit | edit source]

The Chaktar peninsula is home to the Chaktari, a somewhat primitve, tribal people forced to migrate by the Nation of Animar. In old days, the Chaktari would roam from kingdom to kingdom, preying on those which were weak and making their home there. Yet with the unification and creation of the Nation of Animar the Chaktari could be met in open battle and defeated, forcing them to withdraw to the jungles of the peninsula.

With an ever-growing isolationist mindset the Chaktari grew fearful of the Animar, thinking that the hunter may one day become the hunted. It is out of this mindset that the Chaktari began work on The Wall, a wondrous wall of stone and bone that cut off the peninsula from the continent. Across the wall forts were built and soon developed into cities, the central fort becoming the capital of Igwatan.

This was only possible due to the Chaktari's own huge physical strength, born out of harsh jungle life and selective tribal initiation rites, as well as mastery of the Earth element. Now the Chaktari have fallen prey to disease, their numbers dwindling leading to some forts being abandoned. The Chaktari now search for a cure, not afraid of using violent methods to achieve this goal. The Nation of Animar must once again look at its southern border.
