Prologue
In the beginning there was only Gallante. He grew up alone in a cold but beautiful land and was happy. He tended the land around him and lived comfortably. Gallante was ruled by his head, and while he knew that this was what made his life stable and comfortable, parts of himself felt a creeping sensation of sadness, though he could not name the feeling.
Gallante soon forgot his uneasiness, when one day while surveying his fields, he saw a young man wondering aimlessly on the horizon. Gallante called out and waved his hands but to no avail. After running further than he had ever run before, Gallante finally met with the young man. The young man looked slightly confused, half naked and filthy as he was. After a brief moment of hesitation, the younger man straightened his posture and declared himself to be Caldari.
Seeing that the younger man was unsure of himself, Gallante offered Caldari a place in his home. Caldari saw no reason to refuse, and upon seeing the older man's house, was fascinated. So Gallante and Caldari lived together, tending the fields and living comfortably.
Gallante was greatly moved by the new situation, and the uneasy sensation of sadness took on a new perspective. After much contemplation and disagreement with himself, he decided that he should no longer be ruled by his head, but ruled by his heart, and that he should care for Caldari with his heart as he did himself.
Caldari saw things differently, he saw Gallante's house and Gallante's fields and felt a new feeling inside him, though he knew not what it was.
One day, as Gallante and Caldari were toiling in the fields, Gallante again looked to the horizon. This time he saw a strange beast walking proudly yet swiftly. Gallante, being the elder, ran after the beast, and after another long journey, caught up with it. He saw, however, that this was the first beast of many. The beasts were strange but friendly, and with some coaxing followed Gallante back to the house, one for Gallante and one for Caldari.
The next day, Gallante and Caldari decided to mount the beasts, and found that the beast was happy to be ridden, conveying them easily for great distances. It was while Gallante was riding his beast that he came across two more young men, the first named Intaki, the second name Mannar.
Again, Gallante, being ruled by his heart, offered them a place in his house. The four men lived together, toiling in the fields and living comfortably. It was in the presence of these younger men, however, that Gallante began to age, and with his age came a cancer inside him, though he denied it to himself and the others.
Caldari, being the eldest of the young men, was proud and aggressive. He would spend his spare time inspecting the prettiest of the stones they found in the fields and collecting useful things around him. He would often challenge the other young men to contests of strength and would, more often than not, win convincingly.
Gallante began to worry about Caldari, but said nothing until one day when, after having ridden for quite some distance, he came upon a house. He had never been to this area before, but he could see signs that Caldari had been here and had begun preparing the fields there behind his back.

Gallante was furious, and was like a storm when he arrived at the main house. Caldari was prepared, and having seen the elder man riding in the direction of his secret abode, had began wrecking Gallante's posessions.
ôCaldari,ö spoke Gallante, ôWhat have you done? You have hidden many things from me, you have taken to my possessions, you have betrayed me and shall be punished!ö
ôGallante,ö spoke Caldari, ôYou would not let me have my own possesions! We all toil equally in the field, yet this house is Gallante's, these beasts are Gallante's, these possessions are Gallante's. You have grown sick in your age and your thoughts have soured, though you deny it to yourself and lie to us. I am leaving and will not be punished!ö
Gallante was stunned by this attack of words, and in his confusion, Caldari was allowed time to escape with most of his posessions. Caldari fled to his secret home, chased and harrassed by Gallante, Intaki and Mannar.
Caldari did not have time to bring his house to order yet, as every day he was attacked or provoked by one of the other men. For many cycles of their moon and a great many seasons did the men fight. Caldari, being the strongest of them, despite being outnumbered, was able to inflict great injuries on the other men without succombing to their onslought.
Soon after the fighting had begun, however, a tall man astride a great golden beast rode up to Gallante's house. The man was grandly dressed and muttered strange incantations to the sky. Tethered to the great beast was another man, poorly dressed but powerfully built. The mounted man introduced himself as Amarr, and offered that the tethered man was called Minmitar.
Gallante, Intaki and Mannar were all weary of Ammar, for he was strange to them and must have been quite mighty indeed to have conquered such a man as Minmitar. Amarr parted on amicable terms, but the three men never forgot him and were ever vigilant to keep an eye out for Amarr.
As the seasons of fighting wore on, it became apparent that Amarr and Caldari were becoming close friends. The terrible pride and agression of Caldari spoke easily to the domineering and zealous heart of Amarr. This caused Gallante much cause for concern.
After many seasons, Gallante approached Caldari, with an offering of peace and an end to the fighting. Both men shook hands for peace, but both men resolved for later satisfaction.

Hi all,
I've been working on this series for a rather long time and this is a quirky little prologue to the first chapter. It's an alagory for the timelines of both the Caldari and Gallante.
It certainly won't be written in this style for its entirety but I figured it would be a good place to start. The story itself spans 3 generations and deas with the relity of being a pod pilot, the history of the Caldari and the formation of the Caldari state out of the war.
I also hope to inject some obscure but entertaining lore into parts of the Caldari Society and history that haven't been addressed.
If you see any factual mistakes please give me a bell.
