SPOILER Wynncraft History Theory

This is my idea of what the Wynn history could be. This is by no means absolute or true in any way (unless I am somehow incredibly lucky, which I doubt) however it is based off of legit lore, of course a lot of speculation being needed to fill the gaps :P. I kind of like the idea and it could add more content to late game Wynn because of the introduction of light magic (so many possibilities) in the future (idk maybe). I'm kind of exploring this theory in one of my stories < https://forums.wynncraft.com/threads/lost-light-chapter-1-2.201906/ > But at this point it is nowhere near finished so your not going to get too much content from that as of now :P. Please give your opinions on the idea. BTW it's from the perspective of The Guardian in the Light Forest

It all began around fourty-thousand years ago when the elves first came to the four lands. I do not know where they came from specifically but they travelled from another area of the planet. In this time the human civilization was very primitive, and dwelled within the borders of Fruma, and the dwarves and villagers settled in the mountains, also being of a uncivilized nature. When the elves came they decided to split, half came to live in Gavel, and the other in both Wynn and Dern. It was decided to leave the dwarves and humans to progress by themselves.
The coming of the elves to Gavel caused the ancient dragon which abided there to leave, in in fear the new inhabitants, recognising their. Over time the elves began to develop a knowledge of magic, harnessing the elemental powers of the earth in order to manipulate it to their will. However it was learned the hard way that what is taken must be given back, so over time land began to decay through the use of the magic. Therefore the elves were forced to find a solution, there answer was frowned upon by many, but held a majority. It was mana. It meant that the use of the earth’s magic would take an equal measure of power from your body, refueling it. Over time the lands decay was healed, and in many areas the land thrived more than was natural because of the elves magic. However it came at a cost, being forced to give up bodily energy in return for power greatly decreased the power of the elven magic. They were forced to train their bodies to hold more magic which took thousands of years. However around twenty-thousand years after their first arrival, the light realm came upon their civilisation, it’s door opening onto gavel. They came because they had sensed the selfless use of magic being performed by the elves, and decided to come and train them in the art of Light Magic. The elves were stunned but agreed. The light beings stated it’s dangers, the dangers being that if the light magic was used by someone who was not pure of heart used the magic, then the magic would evolve and corrupt both it’s user and the land around it. (This teaches morals as being impure would go against the teachings, this also shows the light realm being among the elves a long while before the 1000+ year mark.)

It was at this time that I was born. I came into a world of discovery, where the elves developed under the teachings of the light beings. However, over time it became apparent that the Elves of Gavel were developing faster because of the Light Realm opening onto their land, and the Elves that had come to live to the South became jealous. This jealousy soon began to transform their magic, which only fueled their anger more, to the point that it became hate. After ten-thousand years of learning under the light beings, the Southern elves attacked. They raced across the great ocean, turning it’s waters into a destructive force with the darkness and hate of their magic. The elves of Gavel were unprepared, and the light beings were against fighting, so we were forced to stand alone and unprepared, in smaller numbers. We were forced back towards the provinces mountains, and we were forced into hiding. They had gained possession of the door to the light realm, however it remained closed. We were forced to hide for a thousand years, but we did not give in to the evil desires. We labelled the Southern elves as Dark Elves, and we vowed to never fall down to their level. Instead we developed our light magic, and reflected on what the light beings had taught us. When we were ready, we charged out in a counter attack and with the element of surprise we forced the Dark Elves out of Gavel, but we were unable to follow over the sea, as it had been heavily corrupted by dark magic over the years of the Dark Elves’ dominance over the three elven lands, but first we searched for the dwarves, and after years of searching we found them, hidden deep within the mountains. It seemed that the Dark Elves hadn’t cared for them in the slightest. Once we were satisfied we turned to healing the waters and land. After a thousand years of extensive work we finally calmed the waters enough for crossing. (This doesn't completely heal the waters which is why the trip from Gavel to Wynn wasn't possible until the Villagers found a way to calm the ocean)

We came across the water now more prepared and waged war on the dark elves. The battle waged for eight thousand years, the repeated pressure of light and dark magic colliding for such a long time caused the land to rupture and a new realm was formed, the nether. (This means the portal was formed 1000 years before present time, and it is known that it was created through the battle between light and dark) During this time the humans ventured into the Western borders of Wynn, and began to build up two great stone cities: Ragni and Troms, unaware of the battle going on miles to their East. (This shows Wynn's beginnings as a great stone empire) But after eight thousand years of conflict the Dark Elves were finally driven out into Dern. But the land there was already heavily corrupted, and the land fueled their power greatly, making battle in Dern suicide for the light elves. Therefore and small group of elves stayed behind to guard the province from the Nivla Forest. The rest of the greatly decreased civilisation returned to gavel to find the villagers split from the dwarves, and creating their own cities. The elves, with a now small civilisation chose to settle in a single city in the mountains bordering the light forest, in respect for the Light Realm and it’s inhabitants. (Creating Aldorei) I decided to give my soul to the forest, in order to eternally protect it, and maybe even aid in reopening the gateway to the Light Realm. When Wynn unearthed the horrors of The Nether Fruma closed off it's borders under the orders of it's leader, and banned magic in order to prevent anything of the likeness to Wynn repeating in Fruma, especially with the newer generations possessing especially high capabilities in magic. In time a group of the strongest elves went to Dern in an attempt to assassinate the leader of the Dark Elves, but they never returned. The new generations were less developed in light magic, and none knew of me, you (the player) being the first to find me since the old generation died off, and so they were forced to relearn from old scriptures with missing information. The Dark Elves used this opportunity to begin to spread dark corruption throughout Gavel, but they too had weakened so coming as an all out force against the province was a bad idea, instead it was decided to decay the land and gradually weaken it's magic. (This explains why it hadn't been possible to fight off the corruption in Gavel using light magic)

 

I call this a Trump thread.

 

This seems like a general suggestion?

 

Don't think so, I wouldn't be surprised if the law was already mapped out. May be wrong but meh.

Why?

 

You see, there is a problem with creating lore.
You can create Theories, which add to lore, but creating lore by itself is basically guessing. There are very few people capable of creating legitament lore straight up, that being Grian.

As you said here:

That means that this is viable for no more then a suggestion, due to the fact that 'It could add more content to the game', and it is not based on many facts.
If you would like to go over this Theory, and touch it up, proof it, and explain the proof after reading this:
https://forums.wynncraft.com/threads/wynncraft-timeline-finally-updated-after-10-months.191873/
Or the video form:


Just a quick summmary:
Back this thread up with proof, and edit out the guessing parts, otherwise it has a 0.00000000000001% chance of being correct. AKA a suggestion to the game.

Sorry if this dampened you a bit, but I am gonna be honest, I would love it if this was the official Lore. It was a fantastic read.

 

People seriously need to learn the difference between theories and fanfiction.

 

Thanks for being clear, I have made the points clearer where necessary and added reference to the lore points in the link you provided.

I'm glad u enjoyed the read :3

 

So many things wrong with this theory...

Overall, 0.5/10.
Not 0/10 because it is barely better than my first suggestion, but it is still not supported by lore at all and is very, very unlikely

And dont bring up him saying it's a guess, he added "Theory" to the title which is pure clickbait for me

The wall is almost as big as Trump's

 

Could you maybe make a tl;dr please xD

 

I think I'm the only one who scrolled through the wall of text.
