Flaris

History

The Past

Before the humans, or even the Dwarpets, came to Flaris, there was another ethnic known as the Caoin ‘s, which in the Madrigalian language means to weep, this is where the River of Weeping came to be. The Caoin’s were a spiritual kind of people; they believed that everything from the rocks to the trees, to the sky had its own spirit and should be treated with dignity and respect. Proof of their existence can be found within Mars Mines. Before being a mine for clay goods, they were a sort of shelter from the monsters that resided outside.
The only sort of monster that ever existed within the mines beforehand was the SerusUriel. She was believed to be some sort of Demonic Goddess, and could be found in the deepest area of the cavern. In front of her chamber, they carved her likeness in stone and presented it as a gift in hopes of keeping her content. To ensure peace among the people from her wrath, they also gave her living sacrifices to keep her calm.
This lasted for a great number of years, until the Caoin’s were virtually wiped out by the Serus Uriel’s offspring. Today, they serve as guardians. There are only six survivors left of that lost civilization here in Madrigal. Not sure who they are? Think carefully, and you just might. Three of them guard the ancient monsters that were locked away by their ancestors eons ago, to make certain that they never escape. One guards the menace Clockworks. One can be found in the depths of Ivillis Dungeon, guarding Ivillis Leanes, and the last his been recently seen in the bowels of Volkane Dungeon, guarding an unknown menace.
Long after the Caoin’s were wiped off Madrigal, Dwarpets and humans alike came to live in Flaris, oblivious of its ancient history. A small colony known as Flarine was built way south, where friendly monsters known as aibatts resided.

Present Day

Flarine still maintained its village-like appearance for many years. It came to be known as the City of New Beginnings after its popular motto “To New Beginnings” when people from all over the world began appearing in search of a simple place to test their skills as well as learn them.
The ancient underground chambers that were left behind by the Caoin’s became a perfect place for large war battles among warriors. This became known as the Guild Siege, a place where novices and professionals come together as one.
Flaris will be the first continent that you will be able to visit in Madrigal. Its rural landscape is perfect for folks seeking training for adventure. It is located in the center of the map and borders Saint Morning and Darkon.
