Nek-asrof, the piece of land that no one wants. No king visits here or tries to help us. How was it formed? Long ago, before Loistava or any other kingdoms were born, the land was under the control of many nomadic and barbaric tribes. Nek-asrof was considered a desert then. But since it was the closest to the fertile land and the Jaf desert, the tribes used this land as their door. It is said that the Jaf desert was under the control of powerful witches, they spit fire, created sand storms and killed anyone who entered the desert. However, they did trade with some tribes and their meeting point was Nek-asrof, then known as Da-La, which meant portal or door. Travellers, merchants, taverns, inns, and various vendors and this land was known as the richest of all. Even the time the tribes fought each other, Da-La was unshakable. Because it had a ruler, powerful like a rumble of thunder and wise like an immortal sage. They called Mazzi, a irreplaceable ruler. Even though it was not a monarchy, the Volga family produced the most leaders. Then later a tribe named Gorhi began to assail Da-La for its fortune. At that time Da-La was under the control of a man named Xero. He not only defeated them but plundered all their precious treasures. Under Mazzi Xero the Da-La existed more fiercely than any other tribes, they were developed and rich. Other tribes including Gorhi, Egur, Utshan, Trova, Vagmur, Jun, Ifnus and Walop were concerned about the growth of Da-La and Mazzi. They feared they might conquer them. Mazzi on the other hand built a land equal to a rich capital. It has been evident from the books of Morrier Leighann that the idea of the centralized rule was an influence of Mazzi. The Leighanns decided to create their own sovereignty at that time. They made an alliance with Da-La, convincing Utshan, Egur, Trova and Vagmur to side with them. They wished to have a peace treaty, however, Gorhi led the opposed tribes and under the support of Jaf desert witches, they struck the tribes one day. Thus s great war erupted, and the queen witch Anatolia of Jaf burned most of the land including Da-La. Many died and the land fell into a civil war for resources. Enraged Mazzi tried to assassin Anatolia, but it ended in his death. He died fighting for his land and people. Despite his death, Mazzi Xero managed to wound Anatolia and this gave time to others. To stop Anatolia and the other tribes, the Leighanns prayed to La. Taking pity at the desperate cries, La, He blessed them with His power, granting one of the Leighann possesses the blessing of La. To stop the witch's dark fire and to purify the condemned land, La granted his most pure eternal fire to Morrier Leighann, the first golden-eyed one, the first sun and the founder of five great nations. And the war came to an end. After the nations came into being, the destroyed Da-La was ignored even by its own people. Many migrated to other plains, and Da-La was abandoned. The five nations also ignored a place where no one dwells. The land once was the richest and centre of everything became a ghost town which none wanted. Centuries later slaves from different nations, plunder, criminals and the poor started living in Da-La and became known as Nek-asrof, which meant forsaken or unwanted land. Do you know even after everyone abandoned Da-La, one still remained here, her name was Pheris Volga, lover of Mazzi Xeros and was carrying his child then. Her descendences lived in this land ever since, trying to protect what remained.
