The Rise and Fall of Great Liche

Introduction

This is the map to maybe make it easier to follow along with the story. Also I'm exaggerating when I talk about people, so if I say "200 people died" I really mean "2 people died" or something, because that's just kind of the way WorldBox is.

I took lots of inspiration from this guide.

Part 1: Beginnings

Once there was a simple tribe of hunter-gatherers. They eventually got big enough and made a small village called Dycowo. It eventually got bigger and became a kingdom called Great Liche.

The Lichians were very prosperous, but their king was very greedy and conceited. He wanted more resources. So he decided to take over a nearby village, home to a tribe called the Umes.

He thought it would be easy, for the Lichians had a bigger army, but the Umes were spirited and fought back aggressively. The first small battle had only about 10 soldiers on each side, with the kings of each village leading them.

The battle did not go as planned for the Umes, and their king was slain. After that, the war did not get very far, because both sides were still fighting with sticks and fists. The Lichians postponed the war and made a temporary peace treaty with the Umes. However, the king lied and told the king of the Umes that the peace treaty was permanent.

Years later, when the Lichians were prepared for the war, the king led a surprise attack on the Umes and destroyed the capital quickly, as they were completely unprepared. By this time, Great Liche had expanded to almost half the continent of Tammidalar.

At the same time, a tornado had appeared from the ocean. The Lichians were unfazed by this and continued their fierce war with the Umes and quickly defeated them.

This was not the end of the Umes. In fact, it was far from it.

Part 2: The Umian Uprisings

After hundreds of years of prosperity, Great Liche's troubles started. In the town of Daah, Umian rebels started fires all over the town to make the citizens question Lichian rule. The fires unexpectedly got out of hand, and most of the town burnt to the ground. There were less than 100 survivors.

Months later, a mysterious plague appeared. It was believed that the rebels somehow started it. The first human to get the plague was a child named Ochitaky.

He spread it to his friend, and they spread it to a passing army. Eventually, the plague had taken over half the kingdom. Ochitaky and his friend died in days.

The plague ravaged the kingdom, and it eventually destroyed two towns and killed over 4000 people.

The rebels in Uhuson, the former capital of Realm of the Umes, used this opportunity to start an uprising. They were very successful, as most of the population of Uhuson were tired of the Lichian rule from all the propaganda that the rebels had put out.

It happened very fast, and the Lichians were very suprised. However, the Lichian army was known for mobilizing quickly. They preemptively attacked the rebels, for the rebel army was small and mobilized slowly. After a long battle, the Lichians were again victorious. Great Liche had now conquered most of the continent of Tammidalar.

Part 3: The Great Wars

After many more years of prosperity, the Umes were still undefeated. After planning for years, the Umes took back Uhuson yet again. Daah, the town that the rebels had started the fire in, decided to rebel also, doubting the Lichian rule from the rebel propaganda that had been strewed across the kingdom years before.

As the Lichians and the rebels fought, a new kingdom of orcs called Tops appeared in the north, in one of the towns destroyed by the plague, crashing their ships on the shore.

The Tops started a war with the Lichians, for orcs have a warlike nature. They had primitive weapons, but they made up for it with brute force and numbers.

They made their way south to the Great Liche town of Enephon. Thankfully, the people of Enephon had built a wall, as they had heard news of the orcs coming their way.

The Tops couldn't get past the wall, so they went to the war happening in the northeast and fought both sides indiscriminately.

Part 4: The Final Stand

The war was going badly for the Lichians. If it wasn't for the orcs, the battle would have been going much better for them. Their capital city was about to be taken by the Umes.

In an attempt to help the capital, the people in the town of Enephon built a bridge to the mainland from their swampy penninsula.

But it was too late.

The capital had been captured. The only strongholds of Great Liche were the towns of Ewbe and Enephon. The Umes wasted no time in invading them. Soon Ewbe was captured, and all of Realm of the Umes' forces concentrated on Enephon.

The leader of Enephon had an idea. He sent saboteurs to blow the bridge with new TNT technology they had invented.

But too many Umes had made it across. They captured the city as the bridge collapsed into the water. In a last resort to defeat the Umes, the leader set bombs around the city and connected them all with a fuse. He lit the fuse as he and 16 other people who had survived escaped by boat.

The town was gone. There were only a handful of survivors. The soldiers who had died in the explosions included the Realm of the Umes' king and his top generals.

The legacy of Great Liche was over, and now Tammidalar was ruled by Realm of the Umes.

End

I might make a second one so if you have ideas put them in the comments (Also Liche is pronounced "Lish" and Lichians is pronounced "Lish-ee-ins")
