Volume IV: The Ancient Period of the Sanctuary Land
Civilization Kiichi
Since the birth of the Kingdom of Kekian, the sanctuary has been exposed.
A: The Great Purge chafed Inaris, who took seriously to the current situation in the Sanctuary and decided to adjust the frequency of fluctuations of the World Stone's power source.
The power of the World Stone is omnipotent, and it is the power of the World Stone that gives all kinds of divine powers to the ancient Nai fei tian, and the fluctuation of frequency is the mystery of the ancient Nai Fei tian's divine powers and the source of power.
After the fluctuation frequency of the World Stone was adjusted, the remaining Nephilim in the Sanctuary gradually became the appearance of mortals. In the eyes of Blizzard designers, this is gradually like a realistic version of the history of human civilization development, of course, its development starting point is similar to Atlantis's civilization jump origin.
In the year 2300, the Kingdom of Kekian was born.
Through the excavation of relics, people have confirmed that in the history of human civilization in the sanctuary, writing, art and science have taken root in the life of human civilization and become an indispensable and important part.
According to scholars in the Sanctuary, Tyrell believes that around this -2300, the first civilization of mankind, the Kingdom of Kekian, was born. Unlike the temple-centered tribal settlement lifestyle of the ancient Nephilim, the birth of the kingdom was accompanied by the birth of royal power, rank-level, and living urban center.
The birth and development process of human civilization in the sanctuary has been described in many official novels, first of all, the development of agriculture and animal husbandry is accompanied by the continuous reproduction and expansion of the population of small villages and towns, and the development of transportation roads is the premise of the development of trade bases into medium and large cities.
Compared with the western continent, the eastern continent of the sanctuary did not block traffic like the Tymo Mountains, and the river traffic made up for the blind spot of land transportation, and the acceleration of trade behavior made the power of trade guilds gradually stronger.
After all, the mortals of the sanctuary are the descendants of the ancient Nephilim, and the generational inheritance of their clans and tribes has created differences in cohesion, wealth and power in a certain region, while the rich tribes have the armed forces to protect themselves and attract more others to live together, thus forming a class.
Over time, the class gradually formed tribal power, and the tribal rights of the trade guilds were also protected by the power, and under the wheel of the history of territorial conquest, they also evolved into kingdoms.
The formation of trading cities, the exercise of royal power, and the growth of trade guilds explain that the civilization of the sanctuary is a leap forward civilization.
In the Year 2200, the Mage Clan was formed.
The Kekians are descendants of the ancient Nephilim witch Aisu, because the traces of arcane magic on the land of Kekian are the most obvious, and this part of the people who have the innate ability to perceive magic are the first groups in the Kingdom of Kekian to settle in various places, and gradually form their own magical research tribes. Therefore, this part of the Kekians has been committed to the study of magic, and after the orthodoxy of systematic and formal study of occult knowledge established by their clan's cultural community, many mage clans in the Kekian Kingdom have formed and developed. Due to the different directions of magic research, there are an unknown number of mage clans, and the larger mage clans that have also appeared in the history of Zhongming include Enneid, Ammut, Vizgere, Taan, and Zam Aisu.
In the Year 2100, the Mage Clan was in power.
As a kingdom, Kekian is a ruling entity, and in the early days, the monarchs of the kingdom and the major trading guilds jointly ruled and governed the country, which shows that trade occupies a very large proportion of the Kekian Kingdom.
The Sanctuary is originally a magical creation based on the World Stone, so everywhere in the Sanctuary shines with an imperceptible legacy of magic shining.
This was the golden age of the Mage Clan, which grew with the continuous use of magic, and as the third force sat on an equal footing with the monarch of the kingdom and the major trading guilds, it was divided into powers.
The mage clan elected representative members to form the Mage Council, also known as the "Lazish" organization, as the head of the triangular force of the ruling power of the Kekian Kingdom.
At this time, the Kingdom of Kekian already had the prototype of medieval society in Europe.
In the Case-Kyrgyzstan calendar - 1992, the sanctuary was exposed.
In the history of letters, this year is the most important moment for the fate of the Sanctuary.
The Vizgere clan also stepped onto the ever-changing stage of the Sanctuary from this year, and the fate of the Sanctuary will be tied to this clan until now, and possibly forever.
Vizgere Mage Jerry Halash, a figure who went from obscurity to the annals of sanctuary history, was summoned from burning hell to sanctuary by using his immature and inexplicable summoning techniques, driven by the frustration of his talents and the loss of his family.
Since then, the Wizard Clan of Wizgere has mastered and carried forward Jerry Halash's summoning skills.
They are playing with fire, constantly summoning demons to the sanctuary, interrogating them, learning about the burning hell, enslaving the demons of the burning hell as slaves to the mage tribe.
Just like a three-year-old child playing with a bomb, the result can be imagined, from the "Book of Adria" we can see that many Vizgere mages have lost their lives many times in the process of summoning demons, and many of them have been cursed by demons and turned into monsters and ghosts.
For the Vizgere tribe, demonic knowledge and spells that enslave the Minions of Hell became their source of power. This caused an imbalance in the Ruling Power of the Kingdom of Kekian in the Sanctuary.
For burning hell, and even more for the sanctuary, this is an epoch-making event, of course, for the burning of hell is a good thing, for the sanctuary, it is a big bad thing.
Maybe the patron saint Dragon Taggao found the clue, or maybe Rasma, who was hiding in the shadows, also knew, but they did not implement the relevant measures, bad reviews.
Jerry Harash's success in summoning demons allowed the Blazing Hell to know of the existence of the Sanctuary. At that moment, the three demon gods who controlled the demons learned about the potential of human beings and realized that they could use humans with demonic bloodlines to deal with the high-level heavens. End the feud between angels and demons in one fell swoop.
Thus, the demons of burning hell began to devise a cunning plot aimed at corrupting humanity.
The history of disasters in the Sanctuary began.
Sect Kiichi
From the establishment of the Tritheon Religion, to the beginning of the War of Original Sin.
Kegistan calendar - 1880, the Tritheistic Religion was established.
The human society of the Sanctuary fell from the Golden Age to the Age of Chaos.
In the process of constantly gathering information from the mouths of the demons summoned into the Sanctuary, the Three Demons of Hell developed a missionary plan to achieve the goal of corrupting the hearts of the people in the Sanctuary. They formed a sect, the Tritheon.
The three demon heads incarnate three benevolent gods—Bala (Bar), Dialon (Diablo) and Mephis (Mephisto)—who are said to have been concerned about the world like loving parents or kind teachers. Dialon is the god of firmness, so its totem is the stubborn ram. Barra represents creativity, so use green leaves to show yourself. Mephis serves with thought and love, and his followers embroider a red circle on the chest, which represents the heart in The Kaiji tradition.
The Tritheon Religion claims that by educating the world to love, determination, and creation, through selfless worship and devotion, the mighty God of the Tritheism will make the lives of the tritheans better.
As the Vizgere tribe continued to summon demons, some unknown dangerous plagues were brought to the sanctuary with the summoning of the demons, and the plagues in the sanctuary were rampant, and the people's lives suddenly fell from the golden age to the chaotic age.
In the face of people who have been taken away by the plague with most of their loved ones, believing in a god who may bring them good things seems like a good choice. Of course, people are often swayed by beautiful words and hopes.
The number of followers of the Tritheon Religion is increasing with the number of people involved in various crises in the sanctuary.
Through the seemingly noble organization of the Three Gods, the Three Demon Gods are constantly expanding their influence within the Kingdom of Kekian.
In 1820, the Church of the Holy Light was founded.
A: The influence of the Tritheon Cult in the sanctuary gradually expanded, and the founder, Inaris, finally couldn't look at it anymore and couldn't bear it anymore.
Inaris created a new identity for himself, incarnated as a masked prophet, and established a sect called the Cathedral of Light, whose main purpose was to yearn for salvation in the light, and the doctrine was tolerance, cooperation and unity.
Inaris used the Cathedral of Light sect to counter the influence of the increasingly powerful Tritheon sect.
In the chaotic times of the plague-ridden sanctuary, both sects used the weakest points in people's hearts to concoct illusions and expand their influence.
Indeed, the slightest display of spells and tricks of these two sects would make mortals without the power of Nephilim immensely worshipped.
As time passed, the Cathedral of The Holy Light and the Tritheism grew stronger than the water of the river, and both were widely supported by the people of Kekian.
But the chaos continues, the battle for the soul without smoke continues, and the fiery heat of the people's lives continues.
The contradiction between the two factions of deep water still has also been fermenting.
There are always some people who are suspicious of these sects and the forces behind them, and the mother of humanity, Lilith, who has just returned from the cage of the void and is about to make a terrifying wave in the sanctuary.
Many contradictions will eventually explode.
The tipping point is an ordinary farmer who has been robbed of his family by the plague, Udixian, the protagonist of the Battle of Original Sin, who is about to take center stage in the Diablo series of themed thought-and-think preaching and fighting.
