Nexo knights wall. I truly am the most sane nexo knights fan

[jaypilled]

coming back from the dead to declare What The Nexo Knights Would Dress Up As For Halloween

clay: doesn't really celebrate but just wears his armor like normal and tells people he's dressed up as a knight if they ask

aaron: something really specific like a randomly generated guitar hero character

macy: used to pull out the ol homestuck cosplay every halloween but since graduating she usually just wears a walmart devil costume

lance: britney spears

axl: either doesn't wear a costume and claims he's dressed up as himself or that one inflatable t rex costume

jestro: usual jester outfit just with a scary mask or something

ava: does her hair slightly differently

robin: skibidi toilet

[knightly-bastard]

It’s been a hot minute since I posted Nexo Swap content huh?

Since Lance is swapped with Macy, he doesn’t get his shield and proceeds to cuss out his dad

As you can see, I improved my au’s designs a little to make them more unique from their original counterparts. I also caved and swapped their family crests (still...debating, but I’ll go with it for now because I think removing the F in “Aaron Fox” for it to make sense in this au is funny af for some reason and a golden opportunity)

In the future, I plan to release some updated designs and character concepts as while I haven't really made any recent art for Nexo Swap, I’ve been working on A LOT of ideas for it. What can I say? I love me a good ol swap au-

Extra: what really happens because Lance is a god damn cry baby lol

[noblehippogriffyuri]

I keep hiding my clay/lance art here.. solely because I am being FUELED off of them.

Learning how to draw pigs just for Hamletta

[scatterbrainedgremlin-writings]

Of the multitudes of fic ideas I’ve had, one of them is for Nexo Knights and is Lance centric (mans getting development. It’s what he deserves) and when I told my friend about it they said it reminded them of HTTYD. It has one OC, her name is Aizzayd, and she’s a fucking gremlin child. I also have a head cannon that any mythical creatures mentioned in Nexo Knights (aside from unicorns) are considered endangered and under protection by order of the royal family. Dragons especially since poachers tend to go for the babies instead of adults cause they haven’t fully developed their scales yet, and the elder dragons are considered dieties to some towns. 

Basic plot goes like this (under cut cause it’s pretty long)

Aizzayd’s parents were both mayors of an island town and had a deal with the nine elder dragons (each dragon controls an element, will be explained later) where they would give some wealth and fish for safety. Sometime after Aizzayd was born, shit hit the fan and everyone had to evacuate to a coastal town they had a trade deal with and Aizzayd’s dad, named Aries, gave her to the dragons to protect her. She pair bonds with a baby sky dragon named Coisu who refuses to leave her side.

16 years later she meets Lance after he accidentally gets mistaken for just another shiny object by one of the elder dragons and after some banter he brings her back to the Fortrex where she becomes absolutely chatoic. Season 2 happens, she gets kidnapped by Jestro, but she’s so rambunctious that he gives her back (she still scares him even after season 2 ends).

During this time the dragons reveal that Aizzyad wasn’t actually found orphaned and was given to them by her father who is still alive and in his 30′s or 40′s. She has an identity crisis where she lays on the floor in the holo training room listening to the Nexo Knights equivalent to MCR. The knights all agree that’d be best to try and find her dad, and they do, and he’s happy to see that she has died in some ridiculous fashion.

After season 2 when everything settles down and before the knights start up their side hustles, Aizzyad and Coisu get shot down just outside the town her dad is now mayor of and she gets kidnapped by poachers (they didn’t kill Coisu because they didn’t have the means with them). Aries finds Coisu injured and without Aizzyad and immediately assumes the worst, and contacts the knights.

Knights arrive to a panicked Aries and he explains what’s going on. Lance, who tried very hard not to get attached to the tiny gremlin but is now attached to said tiny gremlin, is the first one to say they need to get her back (the elder dragons approve).

This is all I’m putting cause I’m tired, but I will post a part 2 with the characters involved and some memes that my brain has decided to make up before posting this.

[soragawanaeru]

Uhh... Sorry for not posting NEXOCEMBER again, I... Have some mental block that I don't know what to do AAAAAAA!!!

.

But I have something for youu ✨✨✨

Do you know CapCut right? That app for video editing? You know CapCut has template feature right?

So what I'm going to give you is... A compilation video of NEXO KNIGHTS in CapCut template, except this is Indonesian-based because yeah, you can later guess which country I'm from. Audios are Indonesian but I put English subs that maybe not suits but hey, I want to give you guys some 🤡✨ C O M E D Y ✨🤡

I just put Google Drive link here so you can watch in one compilations:

.

1. Lance: No, Aaron, that's... Not how you do it... (Anybody got the reference?)

•

2. Morale of the video: Good kids don't try this. Aaron soon will regret his choice to sit in that position. Macy lost the bet so she sits in the back, while Clay... He's needed. No Axl because if you add him then thing turned worse.

•

3. Don't worry Aaron, everyone feel that with their mom too (Including me, hahaha) And if you find typos, please ignore it.

•

4. Aaron when Cloud of Monstrox exists out of nowhere be like:

•

5. Poor Clay can't take a rest. (A/N: The last song is actually Javanese. And though I'm partly half-Javanese, no, I can't speak at all. I betrayed my dad's ethnic, even I need Google translate for that)

•

6. Thank god Clay follows the right way, the way of justice, honesty, and chivalry.

Lego Nexo Knights x Hatsune Miku Colourful Stage

Originally inspired by @soragawanaeru

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5

Knightonia (Richmond's mansion)

"Papa, mama, c'mon! Please!"

From the sound of shouting, you can clearly tell it belongs to none other than Lance Richmond, the son of Cuthbert Richmond, former knight.

And as you can see, after the announcement of his graduation for tomorrow, Lance took this chance to convince his parents again to let him being actor. And his parents refuses, again.

"No, under any no circumstances you're going to be an actor. You stay as a knight, you be a knight!"

"Listen to you father, Lance. Do you even know how many money we have to spend on your study at Knight's Academy?"

"You were forcing me to join in–" before Lance could finish his sentence, his parents interrupt him.

"And we have to keep an image for our family legacy to keep going!" His father said.

"Now, as a reward, you can go up ahead to your room to rest, dear! Tomorrow is going to be a big day after all!" His mother said, sweetly to him...

"...Yes, papa, mama..." And just like that, Lance give up on trying to convince them. Lance walk out of the room and goes to his room.

Just as he walk down the hallway, he passing his sister's room, her door didn't close. Now as a good brother, of course his going to close it for her to give her privacy until he heard one of her play.

"And now, everyone is safe thanks for Izzy Richmond! The bravest knight of Knightonia!"

Lance saw how much energetic her sister is and her being excited to be a knight... Unlike him, who wants to be an actor, Izzy has suddenly have an interest on being a knight. He doesn't know where that enthusiasm of her came from but he does remember that one time.

She visited the Knight's Academy, on behalf of their parents, Lance have to give Izzy a tour. And when he have to train with his friends, one of them is Princess Macy Halbert, Izzy had to watch the training. After the end of it, Izzy announcing her passion to their parents and him that she wants to be a knight.

Their parents, of course, have no objection or questioning their daughter's sudden passion but when Lance ask her, she said she finally found something that can make her feel like herself and to escape their parents' grip and to be free from them. She wants to become a knight to protect her home and also after seeing Macy, she even believes if the Princess of Knightonia can be a knight, then so can she.

His sister got her passion and proud of it. But he, he has none when how much his parents is controlling and neglectful to him...

After arriving at his room, he goes inside and grab a copy script of an old show. He was ready to call Dennis to help him with his acting practice when suddenly he heard a noise from his Nexo Phone.

He looks over and saw notification bar, feeling confused with it, he looks over the title of that notification.

"Untitled? What, what is this?" Just as Lance said that, he press the notification.

——SEGA——

???

Lance uncover his eyes to look around. What the heck was that?!

First there was a bright light suddenly lighten up on his phone screen, only for him to be sucked inside his phone?! That's it! He is going to sue whoever try to kidnap the Lance Richmond!

Just before Lance could thought of anything else, he suddenly hear a loud noise. He look over at the bright light from outside. He walk towards the light and stop at hat he currently witnessing.

A big stage show, it seems to be perfect for acting performance but that's not the use of the stage for this one. In the middle of the stage appear to be two figure dancing together.

Their mouths moving, why is it moving... Oh, they're singing. Lance look over at the crowd and saw the light stick from each crowd moving, following the beat of the music.

Lance couldn't help but following he beat and lyric of the song. It sounds so perfect, so carefree and so beautiful. Of course, he is an actor, he can see the beauty of singing but just by seeing those two girls singing and dancing for everyone on stage, he can't help but felt ease and... Envy those two girls...

Finally the song has end and the two girls giving the audiences their farewell. And just after that, all the light sticks from the crowd is faded away. But the light on stage is still on.

The two girls seems to have a conversation, maybe about how their performance are? Are there any mistake on it? Did one of them do well?

Lance didn't move an inch as one of the girls, the blonde one, notice him, "Hey! You there!"

Lance finally snap out of his daze as he noticed the two girls look at him. He can't help but admire their clothes, woah, they really are an idol...

"Are you alright mister?"

Lance snap back and saw the girls are in front of him. Lance switching back to his persona, "Of course I am! I'm Lance Richmond am fine and don't need any worries from you two fine lady!" He said, giving them his acting smile.

The two girls stare at him for awhile and finally one of them laugh while the other just gives a smile. Lance, of course, taken back by the laughter.

"Woah! That was so good Mr. Richmond!" The blonde girl said, her laugh turn to a giggle, "Are you an actor?"

"...Um, yeah," Lance gives a nervous smile, "But I am still not a full fledge one yet."

"Aww... That sucks, I always want to see an actor..." The blonde girl said, sulkily.

The green hair girl noticing her friend's mood and go over to her, "Cheer up, Rin! You might find one as well. Maybe one of our hosts might be an actor?"

"Ooh! You're right!" The blonde girl, 'Rin', said.

Lance feels a bit awkward about the blonde girl mood as she suddenly back to her usual happy face. The green hair girl look back at Lance, "Hey there! It's nice to meet you Mr. Richmond. My name is Hatsune Miku!"

"And I'm Kagamine Rin!"

"Welcome to Stage Sekai!" Both of them, Kagamine Rin and Hatsune Miku, said together at the same time.

Lance was taken back by that introduction as he was held hands by Rin to come forward on the stage. Just as he expected, all the light sticks from the crowd before had faded, meaning the audiences have gone.

"Stage Sekai...?" Lance said, confusing on that word.

"Ah, right you must be confused about it!" Rin said.

"To be more specific, Sekai means "world", this Sekai is created by some certain people's feeling. And that feeling of theirs manifest and create this Sekai! Some Sekai have different type of how they can manifest their feelings to create a Sekai. There's an individual who has a strong feeling that they can create a whole Sekai and there might be a group of people who can manifest the Sekai from each of their feelings!" Miku explain.

"Imagine, your feelings have been put in the bubble, those feeling of yours in the bubble keep coming and the more you keep in the bubble, the bubble will continue on hold it in as it slowly and slowly getting bigger. But when your bubble finally reach it final point, your bubble will pop and all your feelings started to created a perfect world for you!" Rin said.

"A world, created by our feeling?" Lance said.

Both Miku and Rin hummed, confirming Lance's sentences.

Suddenly, they weren't expecting a laughter, but they gonna expected it anyway as they heard a laugh from Lance. The laugh isn't a laugh of joy not malice...

"Hahaha, this.. this must be a dream, right? Maybe too much fight with my parents finally makes me dreaming that I'm finally escaped from them!" Lance said, hysterically...

"Mr. Richmond, we can assure you, you are not dreaming—"

"No! It can't... It can't be.. then I might as well be hallucinated?"

"No, Mr Richmond. Please hear us out!" Miku try to assure Lance when Rin has failed to do it

"No! I can't.. I can't... I..."

"...Mr. Lance?"

Just hearing his name, he turn to Rin, who's has said his name. He still seems not too convince with all of this, Rin sigh, "We may not understand what you've going through but..." Rin grab a hold onto Lance's hand, "Please, we can assure you we're here and this is real. We can prove it to you more by showing you around here as well! There's other stages that haven't been used yet!"

Rin just continued speaking and keep assuring Lance that everything he sees and heard is real. Lance glance around and finally he look at Miku, the green hair girl smile warmly at him.

When was it the last time gives him that smile before? Not his parents, of course... But, some of his friends do give him a sincere smile, no matter how much he annoyed some of them, they still sincerely nice and a bit patience with him, heck even Clay, the boy he kept on teasing and bullying.

"–Oh! And we can also let you roam around the backstage—"

"Worry not, Mrs. Kagamine!" Lance exclaimed.

"Eh?"

"I, Lance Richmond, am grateful and felt at ease with your comforting word and assuring me to be alright!" Lance said, giving one of his actor's smile but a bit of sincerely can be spot.

"Now, that I know this little world I am currently in, I might as well make a small vacation to stay here for me!" Lance continue, then suddenly turn to Miku, "If, you ever let me visit again?"

"Of course! Any person who can enter this Sekai is always a guest of this Sekai!" Miku said.

"Very well! I shall not worry any of you girls any longer. For I, Lance Richmond, bid you farewell!" Just as Lance said that, it seems like nothing happen as Lance didn't go already.

"Um, how do I um..."

Miku and Rin giggles by Lance, his great acting performance suddenly crumble when he realize he doesn't know how to leave.

"Just go back to a song "Untitled" that you have press play, and press the play button again to pause it. That way, you can leave and enter here again!" Rin said.

"Very well. Again, I bid you my female companion, a farewell!" Finally Lance said it as he press the play button and now he surrounded by the bright light. The light faded as he disappear.

"Seems like we're gonna have a fun host, right Miku?!" Rin said, excited to meet Lance again.

"Yeah, sure seems like it!" Miku said.

[knightly-bastard]

ahhh i absolutely love all your artwork — i’m so happy that there are still people in the nexo knights fandom.

i was wondering though, if you could explain more about your dark heart of knighton au? it’s so cool from what i’ve seen so far! <3

Hi!! Thank you for the kind words! And of course I can! While I did explain the Dark Heart of Knighton au before, most things have changed since the official publication of the chapters. So I wouldn’t mind giving another explanation for the main events/ main premise:

Long ago, before Knighton was ever established as an official kingdom, there was an entity that infected the lands with pure dark magic. Like an Illness, it spread, kingdom to kingdom. It consumed them, shrouded them in darkness and wiped all remaining life within till it was nothing but a lifeless wasteland. This vile entity is known as Kingdom Eater, no one knows its origin of creation, no one knows its true goal. All they knew if it ever comes across your kingdom, there was no saving it. In the end, it will be left in rot and ruin, forgotten by the endless nature we call time. People became tired of this entity's cruel rain, so they advised a plan to finally stop it. They gathered wizards from nearby kingdoms, all gathering in the center of the valley. Using all their strength, they separated the creature's power into several shards. The creature fled, trying to escape the wizards, but it ended up becoming cornered at the edge of the valley. They trapped the entity in a pit, sealing it within, never allowing it to see the light of day again. Inevitably, it was forgotten, the area it lived died with its spirit, it's grave now dead like the kingdoms it took with it. 

But unbeknownst to its capturers, the creature still holds a bit of its power. All this time it waits, waiting for the day it can be set free. Every lunar eclipse, its power is at its highest, allowing it to seep through the barrier which holds it. Every night like those ones, it called for help, trying to get anyone stupid enough to listen. And so one did…a distant member of the Richmond dynasty heard its plea, succumbing to its magic. In turn of riches and power, the Richmond sold his bloodline's soul. Ever since then, the creature finally had a voice. It became the Richmond family curse, once hitting a certain age (which usually falls on graduation day), they become one with the creature. With a life full of luxury, they promised to find a new vessel in which will grant the creatures freedom, one who is powerful enough to break the dying barrier. Every Richmond fell to this fate, all except one…Lance Due to use of nexo powers (due to, at least in this au, being a form of light magic) he never fell victim to the curse, rather he became immune. He lived in blissful ignorance of the truth behind his family that he never fell suspicious of his family's misdeeds. Though that all changed after season 4, once it was revealed to the kingdom that Clay was in fact, a wizard. The cult immediately knew that THIS would the person to free Kingdom Eater, fact in the member that is actually close to Clay in some way is…immune, so you know what they did? They poisoned him with a fragment of Kingdom Eaters' power. This made Lance fall into a trance-like state, doing anything that the cult told him to do. Trusting the nature of Clay’s suspicion and wreckless savior complex, he lured him to where the creature was prisoned. There they fought it out, resulting in one of the scars that is in Lance’s eye. In a desperate attempt, Clay used magic to free Lance from the spell his own parents put him in. Though this burst of energy broke the barrier, allowing Kingdom Eater to take possession of Clay. Then Kingdom Eater gave Lance another scar just for the fuck of it before tossing him down the sacrificial hole. That's really the basis of it. I don’t wanna rant too much about it to avoid spoilers. Just know that this would act like a continuation of Nexo Knights in a way, as while Lance would be the main focus, the other characters do have planned arks. All t r u a m a! Any other parts of it would be mostly answered either when I update the chapter on it on a03 (I’ll leave the link below), people asking certain lore questions, or I get the desperate attempt to do a shitpost about it. So yeah! Thanks for being interested in this au!

Fanstory update

Sorry for the hiatus but recently I was able to see up to season 13 of Ninjago. With that I have decided to go back and do some updating to the story. I have also fixed a few things that I felt were lacking. One of the biggest is the knights. Originally when I started writing this story I had intended for the Knights of the Prong to be Legos Nexo Knights but did not know how to properly bring them in so simply came up with the Knights of the Prong as a stand in and this helped me get the story out. I always felt I could do more with the knights and as I have gotten close to the end I finally figured out how I was going to bring in the Nexo Knights and I think it offers more to the story The ninja are still the major focus of the story but the knights have their part and help flush out some parts and offer a different view of this place the two groups find themselves in. Overall the story is relatively similar, parts with the ninja have not changed much just with parts revolving around and with the knights having been changed and some added parts for the knights.

Like with the ninja the parts with the knights is not heavily reliant on the seasons of the Nexo Knights but does rely that you know who the Nexo Knights are and a bit of a back story on them.

For those who don't know about the Nexo Knights here is a bit of back story to help you know who they are:

The Nexo Knights come from a place called Knighton where they fight monsters created by a necromancer named Monstrux. They work with the great over 300 year old wizard Merlok who gives the knights magical aid to boost the knights powers against monsters. Due to an accident he became digitized. With help from two knights in training Ava a tech master and Robin a mechanic and inventing expert he was integrated into the knights moving fortress a vehicle called the Fortrex. The two are children and rarely get directly into a fight often working in the background alongside Merlok. Ava prefers her technology over magic and Robin aspires to be a full knight like his role model Clay. Clay Moorington is Merloks nephew even though for the longest time he did not know this. He wields a sword and is leader for the knights being the most serious and devoted to the knights code to protect others. During the 3rd and 4th season he got corrupted by Monstruxs magic which turned him to stone. He cured himself when he unlocked a power with magic he did not know he had. His mother was a wizard like her brother Merlok but got corrupted by monstruxs dark magic turning her evil when Clay was young. Macy Halbert is the daughter to Knightons rulers the king and queen however she prefers to be a knight over a princess often sneaking her weapon, a mace, and armor in to places when she is supposed to be doing princess duties. She is the second most serious about being a knight and cares little for the duties of a princess. Aaron Fox is the groups archer wielding a crossbow and is an ultimate adrenaline junky thrill seeker often using his knights shield as a hover board during a fight or for fun. While he often doesn't seem it he is serious about his duties as a knight. While Clay was corrupted he took over as leader for the knights taking his new role seriously. He is most often wearing headphones. Axl, who has no last name, is the muscle of the group wielding a war axe. He's kind, gentle, plays music and loves food. His younger sister has a crush on Robin which makes Robin uncomfortable. Lance Richmond is the spoiled  party son of a rich lord. He's super into his good looks and social media and has been known to pay others off to do or finish jobs for him. Despite this he does take his role as a knight seriously despite originally not wanting much to do with the life of a knight. He has a pet pig named Hamletta and a little sister who's training to be a knight like him. The knights have special shields which can harness Merloks magic for use in combat. Another prominent character who does make it into the story as well is Jestro the courts royal jester. While not a knight he trained alongside the others and is a deep friend of Clays. He is very insecure and anxious and tends to have the unfortunate luck of falling to evil influences, particularly Monstrux, despite his attempts to avoid them. Even when corrupted he’s hesitant to truly hurt the knights preferring to just mess with them.If you have been following the story I would recommend going back to re-read it to get caught up with the changes, I think a lot of it really helps improve the story and fixes some parts that seemed out of place. It shouldn’t take me too long to update it all and I will continue with the rest of the story after that. While I update the story I will post a bonus story from part two. It focusses on a secondary character. The stories called Kozac and the Child.

Also here is a little world building thing I made for the history and some of the mythology of the Lost realm:

A Comprehensive guide to the history of the Lost Realm by Teekeus Conurious

As many would know our world is both ancient yet young. Brought into being long before time had a name and shaped by the Dragon-Master, a great being of both Oni and Dragon descent, during the times of myth. Very little is known from this very early time which has often been labelled the Mythic era but by the end of it our world as we know it had come into being. The known events of the Mythic era are the arrival and formation of the Tribunal and the Dragon-break, an unknown but terrible event that caused the breakage to time and space on the lost continent of Ice Reach leading all those who could too flee the continent. The tribunal as many know are Oni and came with many of their kind to try and stop and destroy the Dragon-Master. Upon seeing his world however three of the Oni decided to switch sides and protect this new world and its creator. Three Oni sided with the Master, while their original names have been forgotten we have come to know them by the names they wished us to know them as. Mystara the lady of wisdom and patience who takes the form of an elderly ungulate folk. She is gifted with alchemy and has become associated with tea, meditation and riddles. She is known as a mystic and wise woman and keeps her identity secret from most. Only a select few including members of the Guard and the two sons of the Dragon Master know where she dwells. Sheoth had once been a calm, orderly, knowledgeable and respectful being until his kind caught him. Instead of slaying him for his betrayal of his own kind the Oni decided for a crueller punishment enacting a powerful curse upon him, a curse of insanity. After his curse the Dragon Matser gifted him a collection of islands where the mentally unwell or troubled often live in peace and respect. He rules these lands as the lord of madness and takes on the form of a hyena folk. He often caries a staff or cane and came to be represented by butterflies, cheesecake and yarn. The last known as Astara is the one we know as the missing Oni. Depicted as a cat folk she disappeared in mythic times. She is associated with the moon, stars and mysteries. Due to many similar tales many believe the spirit worshipped in areas around the places known as the Blackwood and Ash Wastes known as Whetu many think might be the same entity. Though they never had horns in their humanoid form the members of the Tribunal are often depicted in artworks with small horns on their forehead to portray their Oni natures.

It is believed during the Mythic era there was much fighting between the Dragon-Master and his allies against the Oni which ultimately led to the creation of the Dragon Guard, people the Dragon-Master gifted elemental powers to aid in protecting him and his realm and the monsters known as Ashers who aligned with the Oni and the darkness of the universe. The Oni and Ashers along with two other entities of Oni make, Dagon and a great powerful spirit of darkness known as the Shadow Lord, appeared in Mythic times. It is also believed that this fighting led to the Dragon-Break on Ice Reach which ended the Mythic era and began the Ancient or Legendary Era. While when most of the Oni left is unknown it is known that both the Shadow Lord and Dagon were banished towards the end of Mythic era; the Shadow Lord to our lands twin continent the Isle of Shadow and Dagon to the Void the emptiness outside the realms.

Sometime during the very early period of Ancient times came the transformation of the people of this realm though why is poorly understood but it is known that the Dragon Master did the transformation and it was not the result of some dark powers. At one time the people of this realm were like those of other realms but either as a blessing or as a curse we were transformed into the beast-folk of today. Our human forms were given the traits of beasts; our skin became furred, our skulls developed bestial looks including ears of beasts, fangs and in cat and hyena folk a modified molar resembling that of the beasts they portrayed. Our nails became claws and hooves and we grew tails. We were gifted three main forms portraying the three pivotal roles in nature; the prey, the predator and the scavenger. Despite the differences all members of each race can reproduce with each other and overall the races have been largely peaceful with each other. Within each of these races was a special offshoot and while they could mix with the other races only producing with those of their own race could produce a pure member of their race. This plus other factors including hunting by dark forces has lead to the extinctions of these sub types. The race into which one is born is not evident at birth and it is not till around two years of age to which ones race will begin to show. What determines ones race is still unclear. Collectively we refer to ourselves as the Betmer or beast folk. The name for each of our races ends with mer which in the common tongue means one.

Ungulate folk who are known as Ungmer represent the prey and have always outnumbered the other races. They are known for high stamina and speed and are believed to have the greatest skill in magic's. A now extinct sub-group of this race the Minomer folk were the largest of races and were known for their great strength, large frame, martial prowess and their skills in crafting weapons and armour. Despite their power and ferocity in battle these folk were peaceful and gentle giants that tended to dwell in temperate to tropical forests, grasslands and highlands. While the original design of the ungulate folk never had any form of horns or antlers it is not uncommon for many of these folks to acquire prosthetic horns and antlers for decorative purposes. These are acquired through either surgical or magical means.

The predator is represented by the cat folk or Felmer who equal in numbers to the scavengers. The cat folk are known for their agility and strength. The sub-group to this race is quite well known primarily due to their great strides in technology and craftsmanship. Scimitar folk or Scymer created various robotics and cybernetics constructs but these are rarely seen outside their ruins. They mainly guard and maintain the ruins of what used to be Scimitar folk cities and dwellings. Scimitar folk often gave their creations complex features such as human like thought processing and even primitive abilities to feel emotions. As a race they held a deep love and respect for all living things and felt that even their metallic creations were equal to other living things. The last Scimitar created their most advanced robotic which he made to be as human like as possible giving it the ability to think and feel like a person. He gave it the form of a hyena folk in honour of Jules the Wise. To the last Scimitar this was his son and he gave it a unique power source that only the Scimitars knew how to use and what it could do. This power source is a rare material but is a very long lasting material and never needs charging. This source along with many other secrets and mysteries were left behind when the race disappeared. They trusted few with their knowledge keeping most of it hidden so it would not fall into the wrong hands. They were found often in mountainous and cooler regions. They were hunted to extinction by dark forces. The Scimitar folk while closely resembling the regular cat folk notably had small sabre fangs and short bobbed tails compared to the regular cat folk.

For the scavenger they were given the traits of the hyena. Hyena folk or Yeenmer are known for the greatest endurance and resistance of all the races and along with this robustness a major immunity to diseases and infections. The sub-group for the hyena folk were the Hunyeenmer. They were more agile, leaner framed and acrobatic versions of the enduring regular hyena folk. They tended to be more magically inclined and were masters of stealth. Their demise was due to a curse by the Ashers which cursed them to the Cursed Realm. They often dwelled in grasslands and open forests of various climates.

Another group of people that were created, though by whom is unknown, were the reptilian folk. There were once three types lizard, crocodilian and snake but the snake races destroyed the others in Mythic times leaving only them as the only reptilian folk to remain. The serpentine folk are often named the Tseci (ses-ee) by the others. There are many races and in each they can come in several forms from snake like to humanoid.

After the chaos at the beginning of Ancient times also known as the first era the first and major capital to the realm was established. Nirnhold was built atop a Scimitar City and focussed around a massive artificial structure known as the Ivory-Gold Tower which predates the cities construction. This tower is the largest artificial structure in our realm and boasts many mysteries. It is still unknown who built the tower even though its design and materials match that of the Minomer folk there is no record of them ever building it. Some suggest the structure was never built but simply exists and has always existed as a part of the realm as some sort of focal point though for what is still a matter of debate. What is known is this great structure seems to boast mystical properties. For one despite all the centuries it shows almost no wear to its surfaces and many magically gifted claim strong energies are emitted from the tower possibly from deep within the planet. While this has never been proven those that believe in it claim these energies are from the creation of the realm itself and some believe it has the potential to shape the environment around it to suit those who hold possession of the tower. While this has yet to be proven some backing for this theory can be seen throughout history and could explain several strange climactic shifts to the region through the ages which all seem to coincide with the reigning of various entities who have ruled the city. For example during a period of a few hundred years of the first era ruling by Scimitar folk saw the region with a colder climate while during a time in the early second era when the Tseci concurred the city for around a century the region became more tropical. Currently the region is a warm temperate environment better suiting the common folk. What is known of the tower is that dark forces are often drawn to this tower and one could see why. With its height and strength it makes for a great seat of power.

Battles between the Dragon Master and his aids against the Oni and their monsters persisted into the first era and are thought to have sparked the Dragon Masters desire to lock up powerful and dangerous items away from dark hands in order to try and protect his world.

During the early ancient times an early emperor of the Scimitar folk Lord Nerevar led a large attack force against the Ashers and Oni which had taken up residence in the isles largest volcano the Red Tower. This force included a great mixing of beings even those from outside the realm however despite its size and strength this army failed leaving a sole survivor who shortly perished after the event from the Blight, the first recorded case of it. Not long after this battle at the Red Mountain for reasons still not understood any Oni remaining in the realm left with the exception of the those that made up the Tribunal. Around this same time Astara disappears and while there are reports later in time of those being able to commune with her she is never seen in physical form since.

Sometime before they left the Oni created the disease Porphyric Hemophilia. The original infectents were not willing subjects. Through dark powers they were cursed with an un-dead blood hungering state and sent out to destroy the living of the realm. Luckily with help from Mystara a cure was able to be found thwarting the Oni's plans and keeping this curse at bay.

Sometime during the first era many tribes in mountainous and boreal regions began to worship an entity whose origins are rather unknown which they refer to as Storabek or the huntsman. Following his worship came the creation of man-beasts, half human half beast entities. While those in these tribes often viewed it as a blessing making them great hunters and offering great advantages in combat, defence and survival in these harsh lands most saw it as a curse and a mocking to the Dragon Masters transformation of the people leading to the condition to be hated and feared. Again Mystara was able to find a cure for those seeking one especially for those not willing to negotiate with temperamental and unpredictable Storabek.

The first era ended with the devastating Nahatun Flu which was created by the undersea octopus people the Dreg along with the Sea Serpent folk known as the Slid, an underwater race of snake folk. From their undersea kingdom of Thras they created and unleashed the plague to destroy the land dwelling peoples so they could attack and conquer the land unimpeded. The plague decimated the surface world both people, snake folk and many beasts alike before the Dragon Master and the Tribunal found a cure for the condition. During the outbreak the Thrassian denizens began conquering many of the coastal and flood plains regions enslaving those that survived the plague and laying waste to their settlements. With the cure being dispersed the Dragon Master and his Dragon Guard set forth and reclaimed the lands rescuing the people and sending the Dreg and Slid back to the sea. It was around this time that the Minomer and Hunyeenmer folk were heavily hit by the flu and severely decimated. While Minomer folk managed to cling on until the end of the second era the Hunyeenmer folk disappeared shortly after this believing to have gone extinct.

As the realm recovered from the Thrassian attack a collection of kingdoms around the Blackwood Labyrinth, a dangerous untamed forest few have ever escaped from, came together to form the Great houses, kingdoms in sort to protect the realm from the horrors of the Ashers from the nearby Red Tower and protect the realm from the dangers and keep adventurers from venturing into the labyrinth. After years of fending off the dangers with limited help from the Dragon Guard who often battled greater threats throughout the realm they became quite skilled at fighting back the hazards of these places. Five houses were formed each with its own territories sectioning off these dangerous lands. Within each house a royal family was appointed as the rulers and would bow only to the emperor of our world. Along with a royal family each house maintained an army of skilled knights who would combat the dark forces and keep the lands safe and secure. The royal families of each house generally remained the same race throughout their rule. For example House Jadeoran which held the dreaded Red Mountain in its borders were always of the Hyena folk while their neighbour to the west House Prong are of the ungulate folk. The houses and their knights worked for some time but by the end of the second era corruption believed to be from the prolonged exposure to the cursed lands they protected everyone from led to major fighting between the houses as each sought to acquire more land and greater power amongst each other. Fearing the chaos they could ensue the emperor of the time sought aid from the Dragon Guard and the Dragon Master to end the fighting and bring peace. After some time of fighting with them the Dragon Master was able to break the corruption and bring peace to the houses. What the corruption was is unclear but some speculate Ashers used energies from the rifts to the First Realm, the Void and the Underworld which they had created in their main stronghold by the volcano to poison the waters of the regions to corrupt them. The war of Kingdoms as it came to be known marks the end of the second era and the beginning of the current third era.

Also during the second era the order of the Ancestor Priests came into being. Monks trained in a sacred art to read the pieces of creation known as Oni Scrolls for prophecies. A guild of those gifted in magic known as the Psijic Order was also formed around this time to try and keep magic from being used for dark purposes. While the Ancestor Priests persist to this day the Psijics disappeared sometime before the start of the reptilian wars in the third era.

While things between the houses were restored at the beginning of the third era the damages from the corruption had been done. Three of the houses had become weak and eventually fell to what exactly is still debated but is speculated to be linked to a set of turmoil's between the people and serpent folk that were occurring at the time. The Dragon Master managed to broker a peace between the people and Tseci to prevent any serious conflicts. House Prong remained the Strongest followed by Jadeoran and the primarily Scimitar folk house Dumac which occupied the mountains bordering the east of the region.

Sometime during the mid stage of the third era the Dragon Master had two sons and a time of relative peace was attained. Sometime during his youth the Dragon Masters one son had been caught by Ashers before being rescued by his father. While not evident at first the Ashers had corrupted him though it took years, not till after the Reptilian wars, for the full effect of this to be seen. What had been done could not be undone.

Not long after his sons were grown the Dragon Master passed. After his passing the Tseci took advantage of his departure to the departed realm to attack the people and begin the reptilian wars leading the Dragon Masters two sons, the Dragon Guard and the remaining knights along with many warriors and mages to fight back to try and end the serpent folks attempts at conquest. Due to their many natural skills, immunities and powers the army of the people were unable to push the serpent folk back and were steadily losing ground during the battles. During the early days of this war the Red Tower blew and before long began to create the Ash Wastes. During the height of the reptilian wars the serpent folk aided by the Ashers began turning the Dragon Guard against each other and attempted to hunt down some of its members using the monstrous reptilian Fear to hunt down and destroy members of the allied forces. During this time Jules the wise, a tinkerer and great thinker from the hyena folk who had come to live with the Scimitar folk after they saved him created the Fear-bricant to combat the serpent folks monsters and along with the aid of the Scimitars robotic creations were able to start holding back some of the Tseci's forces. It is believed seeing the allies renewed forces and strength combined with the years of tyranny under the serpent folks rule inspired the enslaved people to begin leading rebellions against the serpent folk. These people aided the allies and together formed the Dragons Blood pact. With this disruption allied forces were able to start pushing the serpent folk back and reclaim conquered territories. Eventually the Serpent folk were pushed to the brink and with the aid of special magical flutes were conquered. While the serpent folk begged for mercy as for the terms created from the Dragons Blood pact they were to be given none. The Tcesi leaders and generals were executed and any of their people who were caught were to be banished beneath the surface locked away in tombs. While many were locked away in these tombs some of the serpent folk were able to escape and flee to the Shadow Isles to escape punishment.

Even though a sort of peace was made the damages from the reptilian wars had been done. The Scimitar folk were headed for extinction with few remaining largely in isolated pockets. Only House Prong remained strong and though house Jadeoran still clung on with the growing of the Ash Wastes and an increase of Asher presence led to great weakening of the house. In fighting left over from the events of the reptilian wars and a growing dislike for the Dragon Guard due to events during and after the wars along with a sudden desire by dark forces to hunt them down saw most members go into hiding or to disappear. Sometime after the chaos subsided the corrupted son of the Dragon Master seemed to have disappeared however in truth he had been banished by his brother to the Shadow Isles to keep him from causing trouble. Even though the Guard was gone, most Knights of the houses had disbanded and only one son of the Dragon Master remained there was a time of relative peace.

During the reptilian wars House Jaderoan and the emperor had organized the creation and built the Ghost Fence to combat the spreading ash of the ever active Red Tower and the sudden increase to Asher activities. This fence was completed around the time of the end to the reptilian wars and stands to this day. While it has managed to hold back much of the ash and the monsters from the tower it has not stopped the spread of the Blight curse which has slowly been increasing in prevalence world wide since this time.

Sometime after the corrupted sons banishment a strange cult like organisation arose and tricked the corrupted sons' only and young son into releasing the serpent folk from their underground tombs. Seeking revenge for the wrongs done to them the Tseci began an uprising against the people aided by forces that came from the Shadow Isles. The cultists who started this were known as the Order of the Shadowscale. They were an organization of serpent folk from the Shadow Isle who had returned to seek vengeance for the wrongs done to their people and to set them free.

With a new threat arising the remaining son of the Dragon Master was forced into reforming the Dragon Guard to combat the threat. A task easier said than done as most of the dragons had become well hidden or perished over the years since the war. As an example since the last Dragon of Ice had been a member of the now extinct Scimitar Folk it was a mystery if this Dragon had been lost. Luckily it seems fate would have it that the last creation of the Scimitar folk the first hyenoid had been gifted this mantle to take over. The newly formed Dragon Guard was small in numbers. Only the Dragons of Earth, Lightening, Ice, Fire, Water and the corrupted sons son the Dragon of Energy could be found at the time and are the only ones still to be full members. Luckily despite their small numbers and youth they were able to combat the new uprising and quell it brokering a peace between the people and Tseci however the uprising took its toll on the ancient houses. Faced by both the serpent folk and Ashers house Jadeoran was demolished and all but the self ostracized princess of the royal family were destroyed. This left only House Prong and its small force of only five recently graduated full time knights to combat the monsters of the wastes and labyrinth keeping them from wreaking havoc to the rest of the realm.

Since it had been the corrupted son who had sent the serpent folk to our lands to start the war the Dragon Guard headed to the Isle of Shadow to quell the forces of darkness which had been growing over the eras on the isle. The corrupted son had come under the rule of the Shadow Lord who used him and the serpent folk to free him from his banishment in the tomb known as the Shadow Gate where he planned to overtake the rest of the world from. Once freed of banishment he escaped the Isle of Shadows and made his way with his ancient stone warrior army to the White-Ivory tower where he used the tower and its place as a center of power to begin his corruption of the realm. It is interesting to note that during this time a handful of Ashers were noted in and near the capital of Nirnhold, something that had not been seen since the Mythic era. The Dragon Guard managed to defeat him and in doing so also broke the corruption the Ashers had put on the corrupted son.

After a short time since they had not fully destroyed the Shadow Lords spirit he returned through the technologies of the capital city and the Scimitar ruins beneath. He unleashed the constructs dwelling in the ruins of the Scimitar city below the present city on the surface world before creating his army of corrupted hyenoids from stolen plans of the first hyenoid from the Dragon Guard. It is interesting to note that again the Ashers were noted within city boundaries at this time leading many to speculate they were allied and aiding the Shadow Lord. The Shadow Lord was this time fully destroyed. It is speculated it took the destruction of the Dragon of Ice to do this. While he does appear to have a more advanced appearing body and he did appear missing for a short time afterwards since he is still here today it is unsure exactly what occurred at this time.

Since the Shadow Lords destruction there has been relative peace as any threat that arises the new Dragon Guard and the Knights of the Prong have been able to combat sadly however it has often taken a notable toll on the groups. The corrupted son of the Dragon Master had to sacrifice himself to prevent an uprising of dark forces, the leader for the Knights of the Prong was cursed by an Asher attack into living stone till they found the cure from the ancient court wizard of House Prong, the Dragon of Earth was cursed for a short time into a spectral state and the Archer for the knights was severely wounded while the knights led an attack to remove Ashers from a stronghold near a town. The archer was saved by fusing his body with cybernetics with help from the Dragon Guard and the attack sparked the Guard and Knights to work together to remove and destroy the Ashers and their stronghold. Both the Guard and Knights have noted a strange increase in activity from Ashers leading to some concerns however since they have been frequently more occupied on more serious threats they have not looked too deep into it. They have admitted to having concerns over these sudden increases to activity with worry over what it could mean but at present have few plans into any actions against them. As time goes on we can only hope our handful of protectors are a match for any threats that should arise or we may be in for some serious tough times ahead.
