In the ancient past, the people who would eventually become the Zorpalods were scattered across many nations, including the two greatest of Sluggeria: Pukshitia and Parsoland<ref>Pete Parsons is a terrible CEO. He really needs to resign.</ref>. A devastating war between these nations led to the destruction of countless cities and the downfall of many great nations, including Balihou, which was decimated by the deadly fomonuclear weapons developed unwittingly during the age of the Light from Beyond by a Sluggerian scientist named Jhaun Bungie. | |||
In the aftermath | In the aftermath, a young survivor named Zorpal discovered a new, overwhelming power he called "The way of the Slugger." Using this strength, Zorpal forced a ceasefire and established the Union of Sluggerian States. He led Sluggeria through rebuilding and unification, eventually uniting the planet under a single flag. Zorpal was crowned Eternal King, and the people of Sluggeria adopted the name "''Zorpal-lodas''," meaning "Followers of Zorpal." | ||

During this golden age, lasting hundreds of years, the title of Zorpal-lodas evolved into the ""''Zorpalods''" known today. The Zorpalods reached for the stars, discovering a universe teeming with life and governed by the [[Ecumene]], which welcomed them with open arms. The Zorpalods found they had much in common, culturally, with another species of the Ecumene named the [[Forum:Astrodemons|Astrodemons]], and formed a symbolic alliance. | ||

This led the Zorpalods and their newfound allies, the Astrodemons, to begin developing preparations for a devastating outcome.<ref name="lol">It was revealed to me in a dream.</ref> | ||
