Long ago, before the appeareance of gnomes and dwarves, there was a great ancient human civilization, unlike the humans who came from another world through conjuction of spheres and elves who are settlers from different world, these humans truly belonged to this world just like gnomes and dwarves which emerged later, the civilization is known for it's mastery in blood magic, a power granted to it's ruler by gods of this world, the king of that time who gained the power distributed it to his subjects, the blood magic allowed people to use their blood to transmute matters, energy and elements to create something new, to alter something and so on, they even managed to create a marvelous civilization. Until that fateful, an evil tyrant who abused the power tried to usurp the royal family, he sacrificed many people and devour them with a forbidden blood magic, he gained great power, at cost of sacrificing everyone, leaving him, the current king, the queen and their infant son as sole survivors. The king and queen decided to put their son in hibernation, inside a golden container with a spherical glass like artifact, a data bank of blood magic, hoping if their son is found and released, their son can use data bank to practice the power granted by gods. The king and queen, fought the evil, and succeeded, free the soul that the evil devoured, but the king and queen died afterward due to blood loss from both injuries and overuse of their powers, but they died in peace believing their son is fine and someone will find and he restore the glory of their kin. The centuries passed, the non-humans, consisting of elves, dwarves, gnomes and halfling decided to to create a haven un unclaimed north, despite the threat of monsters threat which caused humans to never venture there, but the non-humans are willing to try, rather than waiting to die, They shocked to see a ruined civilization, the elves asked gnomes if they know something, but they shrugged as they had no idea about an intelligent race before them, they found something that resembled a palace deep within the palace they found a wierd object which they layter identified as container, they managed to open it and found a human baby in baby blanket and a glass sphere near him.
