People who attack with lame rituals to fabricate loses for themselves, you know who you are.
ANCIENT DOCUMENT===========================================================
Until it is made accessible in the world somewhere I have decided to fill this otherwise empty document (guess I just don't hate enough things ;)) with some historical and geographical information most players would do well to be aware of but which unfortunately has been hidden deep in the back of forum.
And so without further ado here is Gregor Macefist's (aka Adi the game's official creative writer) account of the world's genesis, enjoy this ancient document :)

A History of the Realm
vol.1: Era of Ancestors – A Genesis
by Gregor Macefist
A Brief Introduction
I,
Gregor Macefist, one of the last True Sages of the Plains, write this
History of the Realm as it has been authentically recorded by the
Ancestors, in order to allow our many descendants the right to
knowledge they deserve.
Much of our lore has been destroyed and many of my brothers have been corrupted by the darkness.
Now
while the candle of truth still burns brightly in my mind, I must
record what I remember to be true and not distorted by my own thoughts.
Although abbreviated while compared to the Ancestral Tomes, I hope
these words shall help our sons to better understand their roots and
forge a better future.
Chapter I: Geographical and Historical Notions of the Realm
The
beginning of the Era of Ancestors is marked with man’s discovery of
Fire. Man had already found within the earlier and more primal stages
of his life Earth, Water and Air. But only after man discovered the
Fourth Element of Nature was man able to truly become a Human.
Man
soon was able to see, to hear, to taste, to feel, to talk, to express
and to learn. Compared to the earlier stages, man managed in no time at
all to create a society which although primitive, allowed the
development of all the Savage Arts: drawing, painting, modeling,
sculpting, writing, talking, singing, dancing and fighting. Man became
an artist, an artist who could control all the Four Elements of Nature
and thus it was just a matter of time before man would discover the
Ancestral Arts: magic, faith and science.
As Ancestral Man relates,
the known Realm was divided as following: “To the Great Dawn lies a
blanket of grass, too large for any of us to measure. To the Great Dusk
lies only water, water we cannot reach, water we cannot drink and water
in which nothing exists. To the Great MidDay lie trees, more than we
can count, more than we can cut down. To the Great MidNight lies
nothing but the naked ground.”
This description however is crude and
unsatisfactory. A more detailed view on Geography is the following: to
the East and South-East the Sage Plains were to be found, to the South
and the Center of the Realm the No Man’s Land was to be found, to the
South-West and West the Tempest Sea and the Storm Coast were to be
found, to the North-West, North and North-East the Chaos Woods, the
Green Lake(North-West) and the White Lake(North) were to be found.
