Once, Alikast was nothing but a barren wasteland, created by the gods as an empty canvas for their imagination. But the god Kast, leader of the pantheon, was disappointed with the lack of life in the land. For days and days, he stared down upon it, until his eyes could no longer handle the strain and he blinked, letting his tears fall upon the land. In mere moments, the wasteland was transformed into a beautiful landscape of trees, grass, mountains, and animals.
But not everyone was pleased with the change. Kast's brother Ali, who had helped with the original creation of Alikast, thought the lack of life was more magnificent. Enraged by Kast's actions, Ali punched him in the jaw and the two brothers fought, their blood spilling onto the land and bringing forth natural disasters and monsters. And thus, the first sin was born in Alikast.
The sister of the brothers, a goddess uninvolved in the creation, was fascinated by the humans that had formed from the brothers' blood. She became romantically involved with one and had three powerful sons, Artis, Breter, and Turin, who became the kings of different regions in Alikast and protected it with their magic, passed down through generations of humans.
But the other gods shunned the goddess for her actions and stripped her of her power. She was forced to live among the humans, but her legacy lived on through her sons and the magic they bestowed upon the people of Alikast.
The three brothers, Artis, Breter, and Turin, were raised by their mother and taught the ways of magic. They were powerful wizards, each ruling over their own kingdom and using their gifts to protect their people. Artis was the ruler of the northern kingdom, known for his fierce battles and powerful ice magic. Breter, ruler of the southern kingdom, was a master of fire magic and was respected for his wisdom and strategic thinking. Turin, ruler of the eastern kingdom, was a master of nature magic and was beloved by his people for his kindness and compassion.

The three brothers were not just rulers, but also protectors. They fought against the monsters that plagued the land, using their magic to keep their people safe. They also fought against the natural disasters, using their powers to mitigate their effects and protect their kingdoms. And so, the people of Alikast prospered under the protection of the three brothers and the magic they possessed.
But not all was well in Alikast. The other gods, jealous of the power the three brothers held, plotted to overthrow them. They sent powerful creatures to attack the kingdoms, but the brothers' magic proved to be too strong. Frustrated, the gods decided to take a different approach. They sent a beautiful and cunning goddess to seduce Artis, Breter, and Turin, turning them against each other.
The goddess was successful in her mission, and the brothers' love for each other turned to hatred. They fought against each other, their kingdoms tearing apart at the seams. The people of Alikast suffered greatly, caught in the middle of the brothers' feud. The once peaceful land of Alikast was plunged into chaos as war broke out among its people. Battles raged for decades, and eventually, for centuries, as the kingdoms were torn apart by one another. This was just the beginning of a long and tumultuous period for the land of Alikast, as conflicts and struggles for power consumed the realm.
