History of The Men of the Unknown

The Men of the Unknown did not originate in the Constant, they are a people from Earth, trapped in the Constant. Isolated from the development of society, able to develop at their own pace. The Men of the Unknown were descendants of a hunter-gatherer society from Central Europe that discovered the Constant in 10,000 BC. The Men of the Unknown created the first proto-staffs, a powerful weapon that can harness the power of a gem. They laid the foundation for dominant factions like the Pigs, the Merms, and the Boars. They were the greatest society until an argument sparked amongst the entire society. The argument was which magical source would lead them into a prosperous future. The northern cities were fond of the Light, and the southern villages were leaning more toward the Darkness. This argument went from one that two gentlemen on a porch smoking their pipes would talk about, to a full civil war. This civil war tore the society in two, loyalties changed, territories were split, and families were broken. The war killed millions across the world, the alliance Territories under the Shadow was formed along with the United Territories of the North, and magical and occult research sky rocketed for both factions. This civil war successfully shattered the Men of the Unknown and their history was lost in the tides of war.
