Origin Story
传说上古时期，一场旷日持久的战争席卷了这片土地，强大的军队摧毁了城池村庄，生灵涂炭，最终只留下赤地千里，荒凉的景象。许多年后，人们小心翼翼地在这片土地上重建家园，播种希望的种子，经历了无数的艰辛，才让这片土地再次焕发生机。这片土地上的人们，也因此更加珍惜来之不易的和平与繁荣。 几百年后，这片土地上的人们在耕作时，偶然发现了一些残破的陶器碎片，上面有模糊的文字，考古学家通过破译这些文字，终于了解了那场战争背后的故事，并对战争遗迹进行了保护和修复，以告诫后人珍惜和平，避免再次发生类似的惨剧。 如今，这片土地再次繁荣昌盛，成为人们心中和平的象征。但人们并没有忘记那段黑暗的历史，而是将它作为警示，提醒着人们要珍惜和平，努力建设美好的家园。
Legend has it that in ancient times, a protracted war swept across this land. Powerful armies destroyed cities and villages, leaving only a desolate wasteland. Many years later, people cautiously began to rebuild their homes and sow seeds of hope, enduring countless hardships before the land revived. The people of this land treasured the hard-won peace and prosperity. Centuries later, while farming, people accidentally discovered some broken pottery shards with faint inscriptions. Archaeologists deciphered the inscriptions, finally learning the story behind the war. They protected and restored the war relics to warn future generations about the horrors of war and to cherish peace. Today, this land flourishes again, a symbol of peace for the people. But the people haven't forgotten that dark history; it serves as a warning, reminding them to cherish peace and strive to build a beautiful home.
