The Fall Of Kandarin
Thousands Of years ago, early in the 4th Age of Runescape, shortly after the horrific God Wars there was a race above all others that managed to recover exceptointally fast in terms of technologicaly and agricultural terms, this civilisation was of course the wise and powerful Elves.

This once great and powerful civilsation had at one point complete control of the land we now know as Kandarin *The land from Catherby to Yanille in the far south-west of the region* proof of their control over these parts still remains to this day, though you'll have to keep your eyes peeled and your mind open.

However this rule did not last forever, there was another raceof people fast becoming civilised and orderly, these of coure were the Humans of the eastern shores of Runescape. But the Humans by themselves were not the sole reason for the Elves descent in power, far from it in fact, the Elves recognised the fairly primitive race's potential and struck an alliance *this alliance would last until the very end of the 4th Age*

All was well between the two races, many crafts were traded between one another and it was thought for a time that peace was to rule supreme, but it was not so. Ogres from the south became almost over night aroused and voilent towards the Elven settlements nearby, at the very same time the most unlikely of all races became hostile towards the Elves, these were of course the once barbaric Humans from the East, with new crafts and skills, some of which descended straight from Elves were used against there brothers.

The King of the Elven Province at the time saw no other choice in the matter of keeping his race safe other than to bring up anchor and set sail. There were of course some Skirmishes led by the Elven Army to halt the advance of not so much the Ogres for they were just killing and stealing willy nilly but the Humans, as they were now very orderly and well fashioned.

Eventually there was a great battle between the two races, the battle itself took place where West Ardougne now stands, the battle of Ardougne was one of the most horrific of that Age, almost as horrific as a battle fought during the God Wars. As far as i have been able to esearch the Elven Army had 50,000 men ready to die so that the Elven wayof life was preserved whereas the Human Army had within its ranks 80,000 men ready to slaughter their brothers.

The commander of the Human Forces was John White, he believed elves were evil and needed to die, he also believed this battle os battles would be a "walk in the park" he couldn't be any further from the truth. Although the Humans did in indeed have numbers behind them the Elves had a far promenant advantage behind them, Technology, the Elves were carfeul not to teach the Humans everything they knew.

And so the battle began as expected, but at first the Elves were holding and slaughtering all who retreated from them, the glory did notlast for long however, the Humans had one trick up there sleeves, this was a weapon called the "Catapult" the Elves thought of no use for such a weapon, but the Humans were specialists, with the various Catapults they had they pounded the Elven forces into forfit.

Shortly after he barrage General Lorwerth of the Elven Army sounded the retreat, and so the remaining Elven men retreated into the Underground Pass, the Humans of course tried to follow but all died trying to do so. For no the Elves were safe........

== The Founding Of Kandarin ==

After defeating the Elves the Humans were happy with their victory over the Elvish Army and thus returned east over White Wolf Mountain. However the trouble in the land that would later be deemed as Kandarin was far from over.

The land itself was plagued with Goblins, Ogres, and other such nameless species that are now long since extinct. There was however one civilised race living within these lands, they were the Gnomes of the Grand tree, these small humaniods were extremely intelligent if a bit insane. After the Elves withdrew from the lands to the south the gnomes were both scared and excited of the times that lay before them.

The reason being so because they were scared now that they were open to an attack from an number of various unpleasent races but on the plus were excited because they had a new landto explore and conquer. At first the Gnomes encountered no resistance whislt exploring this new land, that was until they reached the lands controlled by the Goblin horde in the area.

Goblins were and still are one of the most vile races on the face of Gielnor, this race suffered the most throughout the God Wars and were the primary fighting force for both sides, however this does not account for their hostile nature.

At first the Gnomes and Goblins kept clear of one another but over time this became increasingly difficult. The war for Kandarin was about to begin, the war itself was short in terms of length but a great deal of lives were lost none the less, the victors of this war being the smaller and weaker Gnomes, mainly down to their intelligence and intuition.

After the Goblin menace of Kandarin was obliterated the Gnomes began to prosper throughout the land, the Gnome even founded a new settlement, the Gnome Village, tucked away deep within a vast maze network this village is safer than most and still stand to this day.

Although the Gnomes did taste peace for along time it was not destined to last. THe Humans from the East returned in great numbers to take the lands with or without force, it was up to the Gnomes, of course the Gnomes were no match for the Humans and proclaimed that the lands of Kandarin br under the jurisdiction of the Human race. That Pact has been in effect ever since. But things must change sometime...
