Holding each other for comfort as they watch their brother fall. In what is now known as Antarctica, Rannoch lived in three very prosperous cities. Thessia led by Mira was mostly female and was the main source of most fruits, vegetables, fish and philosophers for Rannoch, Sur'Kesh led by Mordin provided doctors, architects and scientists. The last city which was the smallest but also the most important to the Rannarck was Tuchanka led by Victus, warriors and hunters responsible for protecting and defending Rannoch. Rannoch had lush green land and was home to some of the most exotic animals known to man. In the Forbidden Zone of Rannoach lived some of the most dangerous creatures, capable of destroying an entire city in seconds and forbidden to everyone except those who were mentally and physically strong. inside this area there was a river so pure that the Rannarks believed it could wash away all the evil a person had done and was the earth's main source of water, at the both for religious practices and for drinking. At the center of the Three Cities was Atlas. There, people could trade goods, hold social gatherings for entertainment, and city leaders held political meetings. In the council chambers, the board discussed matters concerning their town. Primarch Victus started the discussion first: "My people need more land to expand if we simply move our border north, then we. Matriarch Mira forcefully interrupts while shaking her head in disagreement. "Primarch, you know as much as we do that we cannot disrupt the natural order of things. Your city has survived nearly a hundred years on the same size." Dr. Moridin starts to speak but he's in the middle of a paper...give me crimes against you and my brother and sister. " Without hesitation, he plunged the knife deep into his chest and pierced his heart. Mira and Mordin both held each other for comfort as they watched their brother fall to his knees as his soul had left his body while the Rain caused what little blood had accumulated on the rock to fall into the river, turning the water from crystalline red to crimson red. Mira and Mordin recovered his body and buried him at the top of the river. Rannoch receded from the rest of the land, the days grew colder and eventually died old age as snow covered the green land once known as Rannoch The river still has its crimson red to remind of. all who see it the battle that tore the siblings apart and pitted them against each other..
