War.
That is how the Beast Riders of Domhan began.
Once it had been discovered that the Beasts that roamed the land could bond to a humanoid, the power hungry kings of old began to force these once respected Beasts to bond to young lads. The bonded pairs were then forced into their armies to fight the other kingdoms.
For nearly a century, war ran the land of Domhan. The Riders and their Beasts were treated as tools of war, not even as soldiers or as living beings. Many deaths occurred during this time, particularly deaths of Beasts and Riders that fought in the ongoing war between the kingdoms, and soon, the Riders, Beasts, and citizens were growing tired of the war their kings were fueling.
Soon, groups of Riders came together to form a plan against their kings.
Within only a few years, the Riders fought against their kings in defiance. It took even less time for the kings of old to be overthrown. Their towers and palaces and castles crumbled under the strength of the Beast Riders they had used as tools of war. In response, the old kingdoms were shattered and Domhan was started over.
The Cities were founded, much smaller than the old kingdoms, and it was soon decided the Riders would run these new Cities. So, pairs of exceptional Riders for each city were chosen to take the role of City Sages, the leaders of these Cities.
It was then that the era of the Beast Riders and peace followed.
Centuries have passed since then and peace has lasted all that time. But now it seems that evil brews in the shadows of Domhan. People similar to the power hungry kings of old are beginning to rise, while evil and twisted organizations are helping them along.
