In the beginning the nation of Praecipitus was but a small primitive village of people. Their culture was unique, different, it was the own. For awhile the small nation was content with their way of life. Most of the nation's citizens were farmers and hunters who provided the food for the village. The quiet and content life style of this peaceful nation was thrown into disarray one fateful day, when the nation's Emperor fell deathly ill. What was a disease that is quite easily curable by today's modern standards, was a deathly plague to the people of Praecipitus. Upon his father's deathbed, DirtDiver, heir and sole successor to the throne, swore that he would one day find the cure for the disease which took his father's life. From that day on, Praecipitus, was destined for greatness.
