Then, over generations, escaped slaves, intrepid explorers and conquest-hungry expansions left Ceardia and helped to further spread the Ailor population across the world. Unfortunately, those that remained were savage and cruel, resulting in a time of Ceardian Warlords ruling and fighting amongst themselves. This came to an end with time, but it wasn’t long before the Ceardian people were dealt a new cruel hand by fate. The Destruction of Ceardia, caused by unknown magical forces, resulted in the last vestiges of the Ailor’s original culture to die as the survivors spread, adapted and conformed to the regions that took them in. Currently, Ceardia itself is in the process of being reconquered but it is likely to take quite some time given the small taskforce involved and general future-facing attitudes of many. | | |image = noimg.png |
