Under King Leonard The Darkling, guilds were formed. The first guild, a guild of magnificent warriors and people of justice, it was named the Guild of Guardians. As they grew in power the thieves and rogues of the streets did as well, they made a guild, named it simple. The Thieves Guild. They were rebels, scoundrels of the city. Sellswords begin to pop up in Anthia. Eager to become bounty hunters and assassins. They made their own guild the dubbed it the Assassin Brotherhood. Mercenaries and warriors tried quickly to gain as much power as they could, they began to trample the nature and destroy the wildlife. As retaliation, another guild rose, first started with only archers, but then rising to accept everyone. Archers, warriors and mages together made this new guild, with the name  Arcane Guild they sought to protect and preserve Mother Nature. Little advancement occurred in this new age, so idealists and inventors alike created an institute to call home. They called it the University of Engineers. They built cutting edge designs, powerful weapons and so much more. Finally the most cruelest of all the guilds arose, the Necromancers, Masters of Death and Life. They would the dead back to life to work as slaves and servants for them. They hid underground, far from the Kingdom’s laws. If someone dared interfere with them... blood would be shed. No one dared mess with the Cult of Necromancers, for surely, it meant a painful death. Then being returned to life to work as slaves. Many races began to migrate to Anthia as well. Werewolves were one of the most popular. Vicious creatures of the night, most were not very friendly at best, at worst they were ruthless and terrible. They created a guild of their own. The Werewolf Pack the called it. And through all of this rumors appeared, nothing more than a mere whisper at the late nights in the local inn. A rebellion was rising, it was coming for King Leonard... and it wanted his blood.

This oversaturation and build -up of energy caused the dirt to turn into mud, and a great jungle to grow and warp throughout most of Anthia. This jungle was a great supply for wood, for those that had survived the frozen ward’s end. Due to this large availability of wood the king of Anthia, at the time, with the help of the citizens of Anthia had built a large and prosperous town. This town had a large and very skilled guard force, near army, designated to protect it from all forms of attack. This army consists of every form of offensive and defencive fighting style, varying from wizards to warrirors and even rangers. Apart from this the king of Anthia then spent the next few years fighting and pushing the hallowed and corruption back, till they could push no further due to the concentration of the offending force.

Thanks to the hallowed and corrupt forces being withheld from Anthia as far as possible, Anthia grew prosperous once again. Thanks to this prosperous growth the population of Anthia grew, and the warding checking gradually lessoned as no breaks or cracks were found.
