In any case, actions speak louder than words and that was certainly the case for the Wood Elves and Cave Dwarves that lived in Marcus' Dungeon. Marcus had not ordered them to do anything ever since he had bought them. He simply allocated a place for them to live and left them to their own devices. As such, they tried to pick a ruler of their own accord to pay back their Lord and benefactor, Marcus. However, they were determined to pick the strongest and most suited to represent their races and serve their Lord. So they devised a simple tournament to do so. The rules were simple and could be summed up in a few words, King of the Hill or Last Man Standing. Except it wasn't only one man but rather the entire family. Whoever wins this little tournament would become the Imperial Family and would lead the Cave Dwarf/Wood Elf Empire. The war only lasted 3 months but the casualties equated to a million-year war. The Wood Elves used to occupy Floor 26-31 however, after the war the only Wood Elves remaining were situated on the 27th and 28th Floors. The rest of the floors were devoid of Wood Elves, well not entirely, but they were certainly devoid of living Wood Elves. The same went for the Cave Dwarves who also live in the 26-31st Floors. They were now located on the 30th Floor and there were no Cave Dwarves anywhere else. Their over ten million population decreased to a hundred thousand. Meanwhile, the Wood Elves were a little better off with a population of two hundred and fifty thousand. With their fast reproduction rate, they would be able to regain their population a decade and a half; the same goes for the dwarves. The only reason that they had such a high decrease in population, to begin with, was that their reproduction speed was incomparable to that of humans. There have been past records of human wars were instead of losing population, they gained population instead. This was not due to war prisoners or slaves but rather only due to newborns. This was why when any other race apart from humans fight there is a ma.s.sive decrease in population.

The Wood Elf Empire capital is called Wod. It doesn't look like a capital city at all as it lacks the four ma.s.sive walls which would normally surround a capital city. Instead, it is situated in a thick forest with roads leading to and from Wod. However, if one was to look from outside the city they would simply see a forest.

On the contrary, the Cave Dwarf Empire capital is called Endar. Unlike Wod, it is situated inside a mountain with only one visible entrance. This entrance is heavily guarded by stout dwarves and a ma.s.sive metal gate that seems to be immovable. It has never been seen opening and most dwarves leaving and entering the city go through a small side door, a really small side door. Don't worry the gate is ma.s.sive in human terms and not dwarf terms, that would just ruin the majesty of such a dull metal door even more.
