Prince of Nothing history:

>Elves ('Nonmen' or 'Cunuroi' in the series) were the first people on the planet Earwa
>They knew magic and were incredible warriors. They lived for up to 400 years. They subjugated humans and turned them into slaves
>Giant (and I do mean giant, many miles in length) spaceship crashes down on Earwa, killing countless elves.
>Said spaceship is full of horrors. These horrors are most likely bioweapons made by some long dead race.
>The greatest king of the elves takes this chance to wage war on his fellow elves, to unite all of the clans.
>The king of one of these clans is bitter and wants revenge.
>The horrors send an envoy to this ex-king. They say their crash was an accident and the devastation unplanned.
>They make a deal with the ex-kin to join forces and revolt against the new elven high king
>Shit hits the fan, but the elves win out in the end. However, other elves clan revolt around this time, so the high king goes to deal with that instead of finishing off the space horrors. Big mistake.
>Centuries pass. The high king is old and doesn't have much left to live. The ex-king had joined forces with the space horrors comes back and begs forgiveness. the high king gives him an audience and is shocked when the ex-king is still as youthful as ever.
>The high king says he will forgive the ex-king and the space horrors if they grant the rest of the elves eternal youth.
>The space horrors gave them the eternal youth and immortality they asked for.
>They also released a virus that killed all the elven women and made all the males infertile, thus dooming the race of the elves.
>The elves mount one last, final assault against the space horrors. They kill all of them. Except for two. These two hide for millenia in their spaceship. This spaceship turns out to have a super intelligent AI system onboard and also a 'power armor' that is able to conjure a giant storm and repel magic. This power armor is called the No-god.
>The remaining elves slowly descend into madness as the ages go by. Humans naturally surpass them and become the ruling species on earth. The two remaining space horrors come out from their spaceship and attempt to take over the earth. This is where the book series begins.
