History
Quin is a populated by several sentient races: the majestic winged Ankharians, the ever-so-adaptable humans and the slocky, reptilian Trolls. For centuries, they existed in uneasy harmony, preferring to stay within their own territories. But in 987th century, an ambitious human warlord named Mordath convinced the leaders of all Troll clans to help him conquer Quin. They came close to succeeding until a mysterious warrior named Ayden united the scattered armies of Quin. Within a year, Mordath's forces were defeated. Mordath himself was killed by an arrow from Ayden's bow. After the war ended, the people of Quin begged Ayden to become their king. He refused. He left for the parts unknown, leaving behind a promise that he would return if Quin ever needed him again.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Considered in its entirety, psychoanalysis won’t do. It’s an end product, moreover, like a dinosaur or a zeppelin; no better theory can ever be erected on its ruins, which will remain for ever one of the saddest and strangest of all landmarks in the history of twentieth-century thought.”
—Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)
