===The Haumic Exodus=== After the Goblin Cataclysm, Humanity used to be a fragmented number of Kingdoms and Republics mostly north of the current city of UR. The Watery Moor also belonged to humans. This ''Land of Haumics'' was vast buffer territories between Elves, Dwarves and Trolls. It was like Principalities of past - many loosely tied duchies, petty kingdoms, republics and tribes with several power players and none telling everyone how to live or play. In part, this lead to the Exodus as humanity had no unified Lord or King - which led to a fractured defense. The Land of Haumics was mostly uncontested because Elves were separated and bickered with each other and dwarves were not the powerhouse that they are now - they simply did not have numbers to overwhelm the humans. It all changed when Dwarves met the most powerful Elven princes and princesses at the meeting place later named UR. It was a long, long discussion, full of backstabbing and betrayal, but in the end an "Alliance" was formed, and with it, the fate of Humanity sealed, and their soon to be conquered territories divided between the Alliance. The exact details of why the Elves and Dwarves united against Humans have been forgotten. The fear that the warlike Humans would eventually reach and surpass the magical ability of the other Races, whether true or not, is often cited as one reason, as is that Elves, Dwarves and Humans were in competition for good lands after the Goblin Cataclysm had destroyed their old lands. During the long, bloody war, the Elves and Dwarves fought as a unified front: Elves provided troops while Dwarves provided weapons and mages. The human nobles were still relying on the power of their individual kingdoms. Their lack of cohesion cost them greatly, suffering heavy losses. One of the worst battles of the war was the ''Carnage on Cain'' (known to Elves as "Battle at river Cain" "Cain's miracle" and "That battle when several important human idiots betrayed their kin for one whore", depends who you ask) where several human princes betrayed their kin for Elves (but in the end, they got what they deserved - genocide). After that battle the individual human realms ceased to exist. Names of Human Traitors were erased from both Human and Dwarven history. One of the most prominent human leaders was '''King Leoric''' (latter known as "King Leoric the Doomed") who decided to unify all human forces after Cain and the one who commanded the remaining Humans during ''the Last Battle'' at rolling hills of now Samcin Kingdom. The excess of magic used by Dwarves drove Leoric to madness. After the battle was lost he ordered a retreat through Troll Lands and legends say that seeing weakness in human nature, Leoric started to feast upon the bodies of trolls he slew himself. After the human exodites broke through to the Northern Wastes, Leoric and his closest allies disappeared in a snowstorm, never to be seen again. The Exodus to the Northern Wastes through the Troll Tribes was the source of many a dark deed and even darker legends. Upon reaching the far North, the exodites built the the Valkery Cathedral to house their knowledge and separated (once more) to various tribes.
