The History and Future

You fight with courage, you fight with honor... But why do you truly fight?

To understand our war, and why our Knight Noah battle, we must seek the knowledge of things forgotten by most. The roots of our conflict go as deep as the very nature of the universe. The World was not always as it is today.

It was conflict that begot the world of Carnac, and so it is fitting that in conflict the world should forever live.  Monsters and beasts, nightmares of legend rose up and attacked, laying waste to all that man had built.  Those that survived the sundering of the six once great nations of mankind retreated, and turning the fledgling city of El Morad into humanity's final stronghold.  Though they prayed, there were two types of gods that heard their prayers: those that were apathetic to their pleas, no longer worth the effort it had taken to create them, or bloodthirsty gods who reveled in their plight, actively seeking their destruction.  It fell to men to and men alone to rescue themselves from total eradication.

And they did.  Lead by the courageous King Manes, the Knight Noah of El Morad struck out against the gods that would see them destroyed and won mankind another chance at salvation.  The cost, however, was heavy.  Many Knights fell.  Those that returned, heroes at first, were cursed with a strange sickness, their progeny thought to be tainted by the lingering blood of the god they had defeated.  Believed to be evil, these children were pursued by the priests of El Morad, and the children of Knight Noah became slaves in the very city their fathers had saved.  Eventually their numbers grew too great, and they were cast out of man's last city, forced to fend for themselves in the wilds of a harsh world.  These misbegotten children, branded "Tuareks," different in mind and body, formed their own nation, called Karus, and solemnly declared war on mankind.  Thus the forever war began.
