Before the cataclysm, the continents were not separate entities,
but rather a conformed land mass known as Vidioci. It was the name
of the continent, as well as the plane. The races lived rather
intermixed, and while there was some forms of racism, they were
nowhere near the levels that are in the modern day.
The ruler at the time was a Half-Orc named Bagala. He was a
leader defined by his passive methods, where people were allowed to
rule themselves for the most part. He vowed to use no weapons, nor
violence to accomplish his goals, and instead carried a grand
walking stick. Despite him claiming that it was just a normal
stick, a numerous amounts of legends and myths were created about
the Deku Stick. Unfortunately, his reign is often remembered with
scorn, since during it started forth the age of Calamity. It is
unsure how he died during the course of the cataclysm, but his body
was found dead on the continent known as Belton, and buried soon
after with his Deku Stick.
The splitting of the worlds caused territorial issues rather
quickly, since lands were not divided based on continents. People
were scared, as parts of their family drifted away, and houses were
torn apart. Lost and confused, the racial groups began to come
together, started what would later lead to the racial segregation.
Each race had their own idea about why things were happening, and
what they should do.
The disagreement between ideas leads to the most recent war. New
leaders who had risen to power during the chaos where targeted in
attempts to weaken each race. Unfortunately they were often hard to
get to, and since there was no distinct military, many common
people of each race died. The war ended within a year, and the
bloodshed scarred the landscape; it became known as the Peasants
War. Finally agreeing that this war was accomplishing nothing, the
races agreed to separate, and each was given their continents.
