The Kofearian treaty

Foreface
It has been a while ago we set foot on O.R.C. controled lands that was called wastelands. Back then we had nothing and no one caring for us, so when the world gained distrust against the O.R.C. we grabbed our chance. The ending of that story is well known among the most of us, but it is not the ending of that story that matters to us. The only thing we gained from it was room to grow without the ability to grow. That takes us to the founding of our economical and architectural pride, the city of Collision. The ground there was coastal so the posibilities there were almost endless. So we did what we can do best, while the world around us burns we thrive in technological, architectural and cultural greatness. This way we survived a long time in the wastelands till that moment we hurted ourselfs with the greatness itself. Why this happend is because we call our own lands the wastelands. We do this while we are quite civilized in our cities and castles. So we managed to achieve greatness in the wastes, so we will again in our precious lands called the Oranau, Kofearian Rocks, the Cacturean desert and all the way to the Trindon jungle and the Sea of Rage. On our own we can manage, but together we can thrive to a better way of excistance. Let this be the fundementals of our new period of reign. Unity makes Might!
