Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Haros

The Planet Haros had been first to be born from the Mother planets, and  the first  to evolve life beyond that of single celled organisms. They started as scaly bony fish, slowly evolving Jaws and months that opened and closed. Some evolved into plants, which the ones with mouths consumed for food. As some grew they began to eat smaller organisms, fins growing off their sides, slowly morphing into legs of four or more on some. The one with legs left the sea, exploring the lands above the waters. Some evolved to walk on two legs instead of four, and carried a stocky thick build. These beings where named Acindas, or the first ones, by the guardians, as they were first to develop skills known by modern knowledge to be sentient. Acindas forged unity within themselves, living as a single tribe amongst the forests. The guardians gifted their lands with an eternal light, teaching them to live in balance with mother Haros and father sky. As their knowledge grew they began to speak, forming words to name the trees and plants around them. 

"Tree," said one placing her hand on the towering slender stock which sprouted sticks and leaves as it descended into the heavens above. 

 "Ground," One grunted, kneeling to touch the dirt below with his hand, slowly sifting the dirt between his fingers, eyes watching as new sensations filled his mind. The others began to repeat thrir eords, touching the same places they had. One named the dirt, another the air, one called out, "Sky," in excitement, pointing up towards the dun and the clouds above. Chatter and cheer erupted as  Acindas ran from place to place, speaking it's name yo those nearby. One pointed to a stick mound with a hole in it, "Home," She said to her  young one plsving her hand on the hut. "Home," Said the young one touching the hut. The guardians watched as  Acindas began to craft tools, some forging weapons to move from forage to hunt as they learned to kill for food, crafting fire to roast meats and carved bowls from wood to eat from. Some grew beards and short plump bodies, others tall and slender with pointed ears, or little with brown furry feet. 

As they began to grow wiser, some became defiant of the guardians, seeking to lead their own path Groups began splitting off, venturing to new and untamed lands beyond the great forests began to forge villages within the wilds, dividing themselves into territories ruled by tribes and clans. One called itself Dwarfs, choosing to tunnel deep into the mountains, creating massive cities only dreams could imagine, learning to craft from the gems and ore they dug. They learned to harness the powers of . One Named themselves the Elves, branching out to live amongst the forest outside their home woods, with elaborate labyrinths of bridges and homes in the trees above the forest floors. They became masters of stealth, fighting only as a last resort with accuracy not mortal being could match. The Littlest of them all, Skudzi, took refuge as nomads, moving across the prairies as each season's food came and passed. One moved to the mountains, bodies stretching to twelve feet tall to accomidate the constant claims and higher altitude, muscles thick and heavy to carry their large build. These where the giants, stronger than the strongest of stone, and wise as the sun's rays which fell upon their gnarled backs. Another moved to the valleys below, seeking to learn more of the secrets Haros had to offer. A philosopher of sorts, though they preferred to be known as sorcerers, summoners of powers so mighty they compared to that of the Acinas. Some Acindas chose to stay in the great forests, minds still loyal to the guardians's teachings. 

The guardians saw the new clans as progress, as unity could still be kept within division. As with all divisions though, imbalance is bound to form. Conflict began to arise as the tribes expanded. The Elves had begsn to venture beyond their forests, seeking to claim new land to forge an empire where all tribes could live as one unified alliance, known as the Golden empire.
