"The Conquests and Hardships of the House of Xilofone"

Prologue:

From the far off lands of Gielinor, the Halflings come in anguish. Destruction and war followed on their footsteps. The armies of Zamorack were using his full might in his conquest and destruction of Zaros.

Past memories of the goblin warriors and orkish hordes that seiged and leveled their numerous cities. Even the halflings strongest mages could not stop the inevitable, and their stronghold fell. What would happen to the remnants of this once great empire now?

Mr. Xilofone's ancestors took leadership among the Halflings (now called Gnomes in Gielinor), and convinced them to move on towards the mysterious lands of the East. After crossing vast oceans and treacherous lands, the Halflings arrived to recreate their civilization into a new and wondrous creation, as it had once been before the god wars.

There have been many problems along the way however, and many ages have come and past. War, rebellion, crime has brought to a halt all of new civilization that has prospered so much in this Eastern country.

It is now up to Mr. Ulvion Xilofone, the decendant of the prominent House of Xilofone, to lead his people to be a nation of prosperity and happiness eternal. However, who knows what hardships and difficulties lie ahead of them? Now in the Eastern Lands, the Halflings begin their construction. Would they stand the test of time? Only time would tell...


Celebration:

Days later, Mr. Xilofone decided it would be best for his people to join up with a powerful kingdom in the area. He met someone from a tribe like this and after much friendly conversation, was invited to join.

~~~An exerpt from the diary of Mr. Ulvion Xilofone:~~~

"I traveled to the Silicon Knights Capital City in the far east. There, I was joined by other members of Silicon Knights and several prominent members of Revoluton. There, we celebrated the lasting alliance between our two kingdoms. There was a massive feast, and festivals lasting weeks.
When it was all said and done, we began to part ways. However, before most of us had even departed, the sound steel rang hot in the air. It seems Revolution was breaking its mutual alliance pact. Mr. Jones, the leader of Silicon Knights, barely escaped alive..."

Everyone raced back to their cities, only to find them under seige. Although Silicon Knights were surprised by this assualt, they were not totally unprepared. Many cities were lost and recaptured on both sides. It was a very expansive war indeed.

Now Mr. Shadow of Revolution had taken it upon himself to capture the eastern Silicon Knights cities. This included the Halfling cities of Ulvion Xilofone. The army of "Surrender" came from the south, and began to seige the cities south of his civilization. Xilofone took quick action, he sent his several armies to support his ally in the Dragonlands. It is now up to fate to decide the outcome of imminent battle.

Blast! DragonLand has been razed to the ground! Mr. Xilofone and his surviving men race back to the protection of their cities. However, from the north came a new threat - which had already begun to seige half of the Halflings cities! In a desperate attempt to help his people survive this war, Xilofone took action. He sent his spare few armies to distract the many thousands of enemies. While distracted, several Peasant Trains escaped unnoticed. It is now the time to sound a retreat...

Due to the stupidity of the ruler of Revolution, the Halflings have lived to fight another day! With only my armoury city left standing, Mr. Shadow set eyes and new targets, only to be utterly destroyed!

"I was now in terrible debt - I need some funds to start a new army. Gathering all remaining forced, we laid seige to the City of Valnera." After a difficult battle, Mr. Orthon was defeated, and ten million gold was captured! It was now a time for rejoicing."

Or so he thought... It seems the Dorian Empire took advantage of our war with Revolution - they began an assualt on our out cities. It is now to form a new army - "New Hope" would have to be sent to fight once again...

Days pass, blood lost on both sides. The Dorian Empire are putting on quite a fight. Many of Xilofone's brave soldiers were killed in action against Sir Santas the Elite's Massive Nazgul army. Hey at least I cut it down quite a bit...

~~War in the North~~

During this long war, many of the priceless history has been lost to savagry, treachery, and destruction. From what we, as historians, have been able to gather about these epic period, is that it was about this time during war with the Dorian Empire, that The Army of Anubis decided to attack. From what is known of their society, they did not perform many surprise encounters between the two warring nations, but instead, declared war - with a three month peace treaty on both sides.
Fighting broke out nearly just as soon as the peace treaty expired. There was massive bloodshed on each side. Cities were captured and recaptured. Lives were lost and forgotten. Empires crumbled and rose in the midst of death.
It is now that I begin my research on one of Mr. Xilofone's main armies: Insincere Apologies. As of yet in my studies, not much has occured but travel and futile attempts of victory on a northern blocker city.
It seems that the era ended too soon for the men in this army to do much damage. It is now, at this time, that Mr. Xilofone was assasinated. What will become of his people?

A new era begins, and with it new hope and dreams unfurl.

Mr. Xilofone II

Lived in Era 31, got 0 heir(s) and was a member of Silicon Knights
Darkness falls on the war-strewn lands of Nirvana - desolation in all directions. The earthquake had destroyed everything, and without the leadership of Mr. Xilofone, the surviving halflings fled in a panic. Into the mountains they hid - chased by the horrors released from the tremors.
