Stick War RPG

Lore:

Creation and the Elemental Origins Inamorta was formed by a divine entity known as V, who created four elemental forces to shape the world:

• Earth and Water were first, but their conflict destabilized the land.
• Fire emerged from V’s rage, uncontrollable and destructive.
• Air was created to counter Fire but failed to restore balance. To impose order, V relinquished his godhood and created a civilization in his image—Order—built on peace, knowledge, and control. This marked the beginning of structured society in Inamorta.

Rise of the Order Empire Order began as a pacifist nation of Miners, rejecting weapon worship and embracing the “Way of Peace and Knowledge.” Surrounded by hostile nations—Swordwrath, Archidonis, Speartons, and Magikill—Order was forced to militarize to survive. Under the leadership of Zarek, guided by the prophetic visions of his brother Zilaros, Order launched a campaign to unify Inamorta:

• Archidonis was defeated first, and its bow technology assimilated.
• Swordwrath and Speartons fell next, their melee combat styles absorbed.
• Magikill magic and Giant strength were added to Order’s arsenal. Order expanded into the Ice Hills and Desert, defeating all alliances and establishing dominance across the continent.

Rebellion and the Exiled Nations After unification, Order grew authoritarian. The conquered nations were exiled to the outskirts, where they formed Rebel factions. These groups—composed of displaced Speartons, Archidons, and Swordwrath—sought to reclaim autonomy and resist Order’s control. Some Swordwrath remained loyal to Order, aiding in suppressing uprisings. Others joined the rebellion, leading to widespread civil unrest.

Emergence of Chaos From the elemental force of Fire, a new threat emerged: the Chaos Empire, led by Medusa. Chaos introduced corrupted units such as Marrowkai, Eclipsors, Crawlers, and Deads, representing mutation and decay. Chaos invaded from the desert, threatening both Order and Rebels. In response, Order and Rebel forces formed a temporary alliance to confront the common enemy. Medusa was ultimately defeated, but the war left Order weakened and fractured.

Fragmentation and the Elemental War Following the defeat of Chaos, Zarek purged his old generals and replaced them with new ones. This act triggered internal rebellion, as the displaced commanders rose against the regime. At the same time, the elemental forces—Water, Earth, Fire, and Air—began to manifest as sentient beings:

• Water wielded tsunami and blast powers.
• Earth used shields and stone-based defenses.
• Fire remained tied to Chaos, destructive and volatile.
• Air embodied Order’s ideals of control and precision. These Elementals, born from V’s original creation, re-entered the conflict as independent forces, further destabilizing Inamorta.

Ongoing Conflict The continent became a battleground between:

• The Order Empire, now fractured and authoritarian.
• The Rebel factions, seeking freedom and justice.
• The Chaos Empire, remnants of Medusa’s legacy.
• The Elementals, representing nature’s raw power and divine balance. Each faction pursued dominance, ideology, or survival, with alliances shifting and power structures collapsing.

Order Units:

Miner - The Miner is a unit that devotes its technologies to many factions, but after the collapse of virtually every rebel empire, made the Order Empire their primary home.

Swordwrath - The Swordwrath, known as "Swordmen" in the Armory, and are units in the Order that appeared during the earlier events of Stick War. In the very beginnings of the war, the Swordwrath served as the only hand-to-hand combat unit available, favored more so than the Harder to train Archidon.

Their glory was short-lived, however, as they were soon superseded by the well-trained and superior Speartons on the battlefield. Even after their status had faded, they still remained powerful and their following remained lively due to their dispensability and strength.

While their most notable inclusion was in that of the Order Empire, the Swordwrath was originally devised by the Swordwrath Empire. After multiple failed attempts at redemption, the Swordwrath Empire fell and left the Order with their signature weapon, the sword.

Archidon - The Archidons, also known as Archers and Archidonis, are ground-ranged units in the Order Empire. First serving the Archidon Empire, the Archidons were converted to Order faith after the revolutionary unification of all rebel empires in the fight against Chaos.

Speartons - Speartons are elite units in the Order military, who, with their heavy armor and rigorous training, make for a tough adversary. First serving the Spearton Empire, the Spearton were converted to Order faith after the revolutionary unification of all rebel empires in the fight against the Chaos. They are known as tanks and are usually sent out in the frontlines.

Merics - Merics are support units in the Order military, able to heal their fellow men in the midst of battle without the need for garrisoning troops into the castle. Along with the Shadowrath and Albowtross, Merics were introduced in Stick War II: Order Empire.

Magikill - Magikill, known as Mages in the Armory, are powerful spellcasters of the Order originally made by Magis that appeared during the later events of Stick War, before later reappearing in the series for it's following media. Near the end of the war, the Magikill tended to replace the Swordwrath with their summoning ability, creating minions that were near as powerful as their rivals without any money or Population costs.

While their most notable inclusion was in that of the Order Empire, the Magikill was originally devised by the Magikill Empire. After multiple failed attempts at redemption, the Magikill Empire fell and left the Order with their unit.

Shadow-wrath - The Shadow-wrath is an Order unit, serving as a fast and powerful assassin. They were founded are are led by Princess Shade. They are shinobi like and can go invisible. If they hit someone in invisibility, the person hit will become poisoned.

AlbowTross - The albowtross, also referred to as Flying Crossbowman in Stick Empires, is the man-made counterpart of the Chaos Empire's Eclipsor, used by the Order to counter Medusa's control over the skies. Along with the Shadowrath (Ninja), Enslaved Giant, and Meric, the Albowtross were introduced in Stick War II: Order Empire.

The Albowtross are usually known for their slow training time and high cost, which could be explained off as just being an advanced and technical unit to prepare. Eclipsors have faster training time and faster speed, and longer range, but have no abilities and have lower health. While the Albowtross were potentially useful in Stick War II: Order Empire, their real purpose was shown through in Stick Empires.

The Albowtross follow no known 'way' of life, though since they carry crossbows, it is possible they follow the 'way of the bow', like the Archidons.

Enslaved Giants - Enslaved Giants are the Order counterpart of the Regular Giant. They are units that appeared originally before Stick War 2, before later reappearing in the series for it's following media. Depending on the game, the Giants' backstory differs, but throughout its appearances they have originated from the depths of No Man's Land, before being put under the chain of the Order.

Enslaved Giants are very tough, able to lift boulders the size of a Swordwrath. This overwhelming power and stature comes at a cost, being incredibly dimwitted and expensive, having slow reaction time.

RipRider - Ripriders are people that ride weird looking birds called Riptors, they wield a dual wielded blade, and they attack by going back and forth.

REBEL GENERALS LORE

The former generals rebelled due to a purge initiated by King Zerek following the defeat of Chaos. Seeking to reshape the Order Empire, Zerek removed the original commanders—Archis, Spearos, Magis, Wrathnar, and others—from their positions and replaced them with his siblings, the Royal Generals. This act was seen as a betrayal by the displaced leaders, many of whom had fought to unify Inamorta and defend it during the Chaos invasion. Stripped of rank and influence, the former generals viewed Zerek’s actions as authoritarian and unjust. Their rebellion was not only a response to personal dishonor but also a resistance against the centralization of power within the royal bloodline. Some aligned with rebel factions, others pursued their own agendas, and a few sought to reclaim their legacy by force. Their uprising fractured the Order Empire and reignited conflict across Inamorta, setting the stage for a new era of war driven by vengeance, ideology, and ambition.

The last person to leave was Spearos, who snapped when the former leader of the speartons, snapping and rebelling when instead of him becoming the new leader, the younger son, who was inexperienced at the time Atreyos was crowned the new leader instead of him, everyone else rebelled right after the Trials of Superiority.
