# History

A long time ago after the so called "Extinction Wars" the middle east had turned into a conflictive place, as all the nations who once ruled over this ancient land being destroyed there was only a place that all the refugees could go, the only city still standing: Jerusalem. 

Once most the people started gathering around Jerusalem several slums started appearing nearby causing major conflicts and issues between the different tribes, when those wars started affecting Jerusalem's citizens, its goverment launched an attack onto the nearby slums but when the people living outside started opossing resistance it slowly became a massacre with only a few people from the outside surviving.

After a few years the leaders of the surviving tribes gathered around Damascus an formed an alliance to take revenge on Jerusalem. They decided to form the **Arakneths** Nomads and planned a raid onto Jerusalem. They raid was sucessful and with that the last standing city had fallen, however in the city ruins they found some manuscrits with intructions to forge a gem called "Onyx" who was recently discovered and used to forge a lot of stuff using Alchemy. 

The instructions were clear they will need to mine a rare mineral called Chalcedony that was found in the caves under the desert, and use it to forge the **Onyx.** That day the tribes signed a *Non Agression Pact* and split into 17 different tribes to adventure into the desert and find the deposits of **Chalcedony**. 

As they were constantly sieged by nearby nations they recreated the ancient Damascus steel to forge better weapons and repel any incoming raid onto their land.
