[close] Welcome to the Land of Valoria! This is the history of the land: A long time ago, the land of Valoria was peaceful and all of the species were getting along very well. However this changed once the Demons attacked, and the demons brought monsters with them that terrorized all of the different species. Everything was dying to the onslaught of Demons and monsters until the Angels descended from the Heavens and tried to push them back into the pit in which they came from. The ensuing war lasted hundreds of years and was called the Great War of Angels and Demons. In the end, the Angels won the war and most of the Demons retreated back to where they came from. Then the Angels helped to build a city that would help them keep an eye on the world so they can react quicker if the demons decide to attack again. Most of the Angels then went back into the Heavens but a few stayed behind in the city that they helped to build. Most of the different species decided to build their own cities where they could but the world wasn't the same since the Great War. And now, we are here.

[close] The focus of this group is historical fiction set in Ancient and Medieval eras(with some post Medieval), in any geographical location. Preference is given to themes of: engaging politics, sprawling battles, drugs(errr .. mead) and debauchery. If authors like Robyn Young, Bernard Cornwell, Steven Pressfield resonate with you, this group is designed for you. If you are bursting in your seams to discuss their books, please do come in. AUTHORS welcome as READERS ONLY. Limited opportunity for self promotion exists in A&M! No romantic melodrama books please. Want to gush about this great Victorian-era romance novel you've discovered and had been smitten with? Not the right group for you. We encourage freedom of opinion on books and authors in this group. As long as the opinion is respectful and harmless and breaks no Group rules. Don't feel you can't be honest about a book or author. No matter how popular the book or author is. Our Group Motto, courtesy of George S. Patton, is: If everybody is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.
