However, some of the greatest minds in EL century have been working with the Eternals to decipher their workings, and they are hopeful of making a discovery soon. Ancient documents unearthed recently point to a way of reversing the drift of the continents and bringing Seridia and Irilion together, but they are in the writing of the Gods, and are almost incomprehensible to the limited minds and lives of mortals. And as the years went by, the continents of Irilion and Seridia drifted further and further apart, requiring months to years of travel between them.īefore long, we of Seridia had lost all contact with EL kith and kin in Irilion, and it existed only as a fabled and mythical land in EL legends. Without the help of the Gods, the development of the races was slowed to a crawl, aided only by EL imperfect and newly-reacquired skill of magic. Many talented and wonderful people had been lost in the devastation, including the entire populations of Centaurs and Satyr during the aftermath of the War. The story of Unolas, Selain and the War of the Gods is most dramatically presented in his historical epic A History of the Lands: The War of the Gods.Īs the end of the War of the Gods, the broken and shattered remnants of the races began to regroup as the Gods withdrew from the Lands. Of it, we have but a few accounts, most notably those of the ancient human historian Saii (c. With the ascension of Unolas and Selain to Divinity, and the return of Mortos to the Lands, the War of the Gods broke out. However, all knowledge of magic seemed to have been erased from the memories and consciousness of EL ancestors, until an Elf named Unolas and an Orchan named Selain stumbled upon the secret again. The races began to rebuild again, with the help of the Gods, who taught them various useful technologies and used their powers to aid their development. In those times, the lands of Irilion and Seridia were in close contact with each other, having drifted in the same general direction. The Draegoni, it is rumoured, have certain sacred scriptures that detail the fate of the Dragons and the reason behind the cataclysm, but if such scriptures do still exist, no one knows where they are kept.Īs the continents drifted further and further away from each other, we of the races began afresh in EL ancestral homelands. However, at some point in time, there was a great cataclysm that split the world of Draia into several continents, which destroyed the Dragons and decimated the races. As time went by, great magics were unleashed by the Gods and their servants, the Dragons. There have been numerous references to such creatures in the ancient legends, although no one now knows what they look like. Fabled and powerful beings known only as Dragons existed in those glorious days at the dawn of EL existence. Once, EL world had but a singular continent, which had been called Draia, and it was the home of the races and the gods who walked the Lands. A few facts are known so far, from historical records on old manuscripts and half-forgotten legends passed down from generation to generation. All of those who know have long passed on, although as more and more Eternals arrive in the Lands, we may eventually discover the truth. Many have wondered about the beginnings of EL strange lands, and many have put forth theories about how we came to be.
