| Soon after having created the world, Builders quickly understood that it would be a tiresome and difficult task for them to manage every prayer made by mortals; moreover, those were troubling their sleep by their constant babbling in their minds - creating and keeping the shape of the world was already challenging enough. So they created the gods to help them in those tasks. | Soon after having created the world, Builders quickly understood that it would be a tiresome and difficult task for them to manage every prayer made by mortals; moreover, those were troubling their sleep by their constant babbling in their minds - creating and keeping the shape of the world was already challenging enough.

| - | Most of the [[gods]] we know today were already popular in the times of the Old Empire, like [[gods:Mostrai]] or [[gods:Lythander]]. Others changed names as time passed. Gods provided their powers to the Faithful Ones, and helped them by providing blessings and powerful weapons. The priests of the Old Empire never believed gods made the world, as they were themselves part of it; world-building was the Builders task. Builders had temples in all major imperial cities, in which an 'eternal' fire was kept to represent their mysterious existence in the Outside. | + | Most of the [[:gods]] we know today were already popular in the times of the Old Empire, like [[:gods:Mostrai]] or [[:gods:Lythander]].

| - | Few archives remain from the times when [[world:Scorn]] was founded. The city is probably the oldest of the whole known world. Before Fido, before the Old Empire, maybe even before gods, Scorn was already there. | + | Few archives remain from the times when [[:world:Scorn]] was founded.

| - | It is usually said that Scorn was founded by [[skud|Skud the Great]]. Many legends are telling about Skud, the half-mythical hero. How he captured the first dragons. How he fought unknown monsters in the East. How he built Scorn and the First Inn. Some priests even postulated that Skud was in fact a Builder. Skud created the First Inn because he wanted to sleep inside a house, without the risk of being attacked by monsters during the night. He left the Holy Guestbook, one of the oldest relics of Crossfire, where he and his fellow friends wrote their names. Skud disappeared long before the Old Empire came, and nowadays only the Builders can probably remember him. | + | It is usually said that Scorn was founded by [[skud|Skud the Great]] .

| Recent researches show that, although he greatly contributed to the popularity of the city, Skud didn't found it: it was in fact created by Tabb the Dark, a Builder that left very little information about him behind. According to the Codex Skudensis that was discovered in the depths of the Old City, "Scorn" would have been the real name of Tabb the Dark. | Recent researches show that, although he greatly contributed to the popularity of the city, Skud didn't found it: it was in fact created by Tabb the Dark, a Builder that left very little information about him behind.

| ====The Bigworld==== | ====The Bigworld==== | ||
| - | The old world was small and it consisted of many pieces. [[world:Scorn]], [[world:Navar]], [[world:Brittany]] and [[world:santodominion|Santo Dominion]] were in one large piece. [[world:Darcap]] and the Hill Village were in another smaller one. [[world:Lake Country]] was in yet another. [[world:Pupland]] was still another. The world was not whole, and the builders saw that this was wrong. They began the quest to unite the world and established the [[Bigworld]]. As the builders united the world they saw that it was much too small and began to make it larger. They raised up the Great Mountains around [[world:brittany:Brest]] and they caused the Great Forest to grow. As the time passed, [[world:Navar]] grew to become a great Kingdom and the builders decided that it was a good city for players to call home and they gave the Heroes a choice to serve Scorn or Navar. Nevertheless, [[world:Pupland]] is still not part of this new world, but the builders wish to add it to the west of [[world:Scorn]]. | + | The old world was small and it consisted of many pieces. \\ |
