The Aterian wars start the form of Arete in this way; Talic , leader of the barbarian village on the right half of Arete ( Arete is broken into to halves , Ateria , and the other is Machtan - which is a very big tribe of creatures , all forming togther as one society)Talic's barbarian tribe was torn to shit by a man Named Arimous , -which is the bad guy is this story- .. Talic's tribe of barb's was in alliance with Shakera's Elvin village.. ( Shakera is his wife , they were married) Anyways , they were planning a mission to send the remaining tribe's warriors , and the evlin warriors they had left to Machtan - which is where arimous is hiding)Anyways , Talic got pissed off 'cuase the remianing strong pride of the barbarian army was destroyed along with most of thier village - As all hero's get when they're pissy- He then went after arimous , to kill the man with vengence. Shakera , which was ordered by Talic and all the other in the tribe to stay where she was and not to move , slipped out after Talic , following him . In other Parts there was a Machtian named Hentaro , which was an outkast of his tribe , he met up with Arimous , while he was out and about in the Machtan area of Arete.Hentaro joined forces with Arimous , and his brother Andromidous - Is the brother of Arimous , Hense evil family >_< - While they were getting aquinted , Shakera and Talic made thier way across the country towards the Emptyness of Machtan , - Machtan is being ripped to shit by the Three evil guys Andromidous , Arimous, and Hentaro.- There is a cloaked figure following the two Warriors Talic , and Shakera. His name is unknown only his presence is felt.. Anyways he holds the key to Arimous' descruction , the Sword of Excersion ... and with this Talic can seal the soul of Arimous for good.Shakes his head , Anywho .. after having Shakera found out that Talic knew she was behind his trial , he assumed he might as well let her follow for having her come this far.Talic and Shakera , met with the cloaked figure that followed thier everymove , and found out his true orign, he was the father of Arimous , and Andromidous. Anyways , they formed what you would call the light's revoulution..... And they futheur traveld towards Machtan , finally crossing the barrier bewtween the two worlds. Machtan - Which now was half ruled by the three brothers of Evil- Was scatterd , the peoples of it's econemy were attacking each other , slaying one for thier food .The three warriors of light approached the castle of the evil brothers , and they fought , - evil lost Light won - BUT , all thier souls were trapped with in the Sword of Excersion .. and were only to be released when one had passed through the castle of arimous , with thier head , was the one that could release One of the Six people engraved within the Swords entrapment.The realm of Arete formed togther again , resuming it's balance .....
