The Beginning
The history of The World Of Joura is a fantastical history, from the first appearance of the tiniest Dragonflies to the largest Vegas. Joura's history is marked both by a vast amount of discoveries and inventions, as well as by wars that comprise the natural and spiritual evolution of The God's World Of Joura.
Joura's history, as opposed to when the God's first appeared, has in the past been said to begin with the discovery, independently at several sites on Joura. First was writing, which created the abilities for lasting, accurate memories and thus for the growth of knowledge. Writing, in its turn, had been made necessary in the wake of the Creatures Revolution, which had given rise to the races, i.e., to permanent settled communities, which fostered a growing diversity of trades.
Such scattered habitations, centered about life-sustaining bodies of water — rivers and lakes — which grew over time into ever larger units, in parallel with the evolution of ever more efficient means of transport such as Griffins, Kirins and Skuds. These processes of growth, spurred by rivalries and conflicts between adjacent communities, gave rise to the War Of The Gods. The fall of the God's Kingdom at the end of Joura's 19th century became the first bookmark in this world.
To some the war began in God's Kingdom and to others it began on Joura during a time when the thieves, mercenaries and murderers reigned supreme. In actuality the war began between the Gods.
