The game starts out with Dartaxagerdim, a small human kingdom, surrounded by sun-elves, mainly their once-overlords, Birsartanses.

early in the game, two massive wars were waged against Birsartanses, in both wars, all of Darta's allies left the war, and yet Darta pulls out victorious. in a third war, Birs is later crushed much more easily. during these wars, Elves were constantly expelled from the empire, due to hatred created from these wars as well as from the past.

with the war over, Darta chooses to focus on religion. deciding humans nor elves were the only only ones to bring the return of Surael, they chose to convert to "The Jadd", allowing everyone, no matter which race, to have importance in the overall Sun Cult faith group.

after a few hard-fought wars, the humans had tamed their northern borders, stretching from the eastern edge of Serpent's Reach to the Coast of Crathanor. however, in the southeast, expansion was limited by the feared Irrliam, an empire more powerful then Darta, as well as rivals. wars were fought, which Darta has managed to win, thanks to good commanders as well as superior troop training.

To the northwest, the Knoll-controlled Daravan's Folly had just opened up for colonization, and Darta, seeking a better source of income as well as a rest stop for ships heading in and out of Divenhal Sea, began colonizing the area

however, troubles are brewing. the dwarves of Sperent's Reach had declared war on Darta, and also called help from Irrliam. none of Darta's allies agreed to help Darta, and the sheer amount of enemies may be more then Darta can handle. the future remains uncertain. only time will tell how Dartaxagerdim will fare in the coming years.
