22 *Tarlesa sits next to Tirax and room is made for you. They tell stories of ancient times, from before all the creatures existed that exists today.
How they had to leave the forests because of the elves that came later. How they couldn't move to the mountains because of goblins that got created directly after the elves.How they eventually found a place to live on open fields.
Then humans got created, all went well for a while. The two species traded a lot, although there was never much that Tirax's species needed. This resulted in the humans becoming the strongest species on the world.
The trade with Tirax's species stopped and they got changed to slaves, needing to work so hard that many died from it. The humans needed more and more room thus they burned down more and more forests and all the creatures that lived in them. Even the goblins and merfolk had to face the humans with dire consequences.
Thus the gods made a new species, vampires. They would be more dangerous then the humans ever could. They would fight against them as humans would be their food. But the gods didn't make the same mistakes as they did with the humans. The free will of the vampires was limited, they were more or less a slave of the gods.
For a good while the vampires did their work, but humans where smart and figured out how to fight back. Eventually the gods saw no other way to keep humans from destroying the world. They created disaster after disaster for the humans.
Sometimes some at the same time. Only one god, the strongest of the three never saw it as a good way to do so. The more humans died a horrible death the more she felt bad for them. She decided to stop the other 2 and did something they never did before. She changed the humans, she removed their magic and got rid their technology. The humans had to start again but this time they had an very dangerous enemy, the vampires and they also had no species that would make easy trades.
The vampires eventually got changed so they could eat other species as well. This resulted in the vampires gaining more free will. From that day the vampires hate the gods, they think they where enslaved by them rather then created by them.
