       The peoples prospered and grew across the lands, and each was divided into Races that followed a specific God.  For Ages, there was peace.....but it was not to be everlasting.

       In time, the Gods became jealous of one another's followers.  Sun, who ruled over the Humans, proclaimed Himself the "Father" of all the Gods, and sought to dictate to the Others as to how They should rule over Their minions.  Because of His revelation, His consort, Moon, raised up Her minions and attacked the Humans who were favored by Sun.  This battle was the prelude to the other Gods setting about to conquer the Terras for Themselves.  Thus, perpetual battles were created, and the Races came to know War.

       The Wars raged on for decades, with neither Race gaining any additional advantage over the other.  The Gods grew more jealous of one another, and bickered amongst Themselves even more profoundly.  In an attempt to sway the outcome of the Wars, Nature created enchanted weapons for Her minions, and sought to conquer those who followed the Goddess Magic for they were said to be in league with the forces of Sun.  This only aggravated the other Gods into also "enhancing" Their minions.

       In a crafty maneuver, Satan, who ruled the minions of darkness, sent unto Science a messenger.  What exactly was contained in the sealed scroll is unknown, but shortly after receiving it, Science instructed his minions on how to build powerful seige machines, and other devices of great destruction, and took up arms against Magic.  This left Satan free to concentrate His main forces against Sun in an attempt to wrestle from Him the Ancient Tomes wherein lied the very enchantment that created the Terras.  But Satan was held at the gates to Sun's fortress by the General of the Army Of Light, Lucifer.  In the course of the seige, Lucifer received a blow to the left side of His chest from an enchanted arrow that nearly rendered Him paralyzed.  When Sun saw this happen, He opened the Book Of Torment and began weaving the words of an enchantment that opened a large pit in the Terra.  From this pit emerged long black tentacles that snaked around Satan and his minions, and drew them into the very bowels of the darkness that was at its heart.  The pit closed immediately after consuming Satan, and there arose in the land a violent boom of thunder that shook the very earth.

       Upon witnessing the demise of Satan, the other Gods chose to call a halt to the Wars, and to try and live in peace once again.  They proposed that all of the Ancient Tomes be locked away in a hidden vault, and that the vault be so enchanted that no One of Their kind could even open it to once again release the power contained in the Books.  It was made so, and the vault was enchanted by all the Gods together, so that it would take a combined might of them All to release the seal.  And so peace once again returned to the Terras.

      Despite what they had agreed upon, Wars still broke out amongst the minions of the various Gods.  These smaller scaled battles were mostly conducted out of petty jealousy, or accusations of thievery by one God to another God.  Yet these Wars were by no means equivalent to those that came in the Ages before.

       After many eons had passed, a hooded figure came to stand one night before the gates of the fortress of Sun.  In the gloved hand of the cloaked figure was a stone of pure Amethyst that glowed with a brilliant light.  The figure crushed the stone into the earth with a booted foot, and ran off into the night.

       Within moments of the stone's burial, there arose a great earthquake.  The Terra was torn asunder as the forgotten pit created by Sun was re-opened.  From its depth charged the God Satan on a magnificent beast of burden, and at His back was the hordes that had initially followed Him on that fateful day.  They charged off into the night, pillaging and butchering all that came into their path.  Satan led His minions into the southern most mountain range, Vul'kn.  From there, He had his followers craft the most venomous weapons known to any Race.  It was during this "renewing" that Satan broke the cardinal rule of the Gods, and instructed certain members from his legion of followers in the ways of Magic.  With this new arsenal, he set about to not only conquer the forces of Sun, but the entire Terras.

       Armed with this knowledge of Magic, the forces of Satan were unstoppable.  With no other choice available, the other Gods also began to instruct those of Their respective minions in the ways of this Art.  A new era of War began, and the Terras were laid to waste in the aftermath of such brutal force.

       As the Ages passed, however, combined forces from Sun, Science, and Nature pushed back the "dark" hordes.  It seemed that Satan's final demise was imminent.  But this was not to be the case....not at all.

       Unknown to the other Gods at the time, Sun had established a "secret" method by which He alone could open the hidden vault that housed the Ancient Tomes.  He had placed this "secret" into the fabric of an enchanted medallion and entrusted it to his General, Lucifer.  As the forces of Light mounted for a final assault on Satan's fortress, Lucifer took the medallion and lifted the seal on the vault.  In later times, sages came to believe that His actions were led by an enchanted "poison" that was introduced into His body by the arrow blow on that fateful day so long past.  They speculate that He had no way of knowing He was thusly infected, and therefore was not in control of His actions.

       Whatever the case, Lucifer opened the vault, removed one of the Tomes, and read from it.  With immediate results, the Terras shook violently.  Great meteors of fire rained downed from the heavens, followed by downpours of pure acid.  Upheavals in the earth caused entire mountain ranges to collapse, and the oceans themselves to turn to a scalding temperature.  Forests burned, rivers dried up, animal and plant life perished, floods of molten lava swept through the landscapes, and the minions of the Gods screamed in agony as they were decimated and reduced to smoldering ash in an instance.

       The entire event lasted but a mere day and night.  By morning, there was nothing left but rubble and ash.  Then the fabric of the very space around the Terras began to fold in on Itself.  The Gods just stared with mouths agape, as even They were powerless to stop this event from happening.  In the passing of minutes, all that was before....was no more.  Only utter darkness prevailed....

       But the enchantment weaved that day by Lucifer was far from complete.  For with the passing of but a short span, the Terras were reformed, and created anew as if they had never been destroyed in the first place.  All was as it had been during the second Great War.  There existed the forces of Light and Darkness, Archmagi, and creatures of incredible might.  But the Gods remained silent.  Aloof from the peoples, They remained on Their ancient mountains and spoke not a word.

       With the Gods gone silent, the Archmagi created what was later to be known as "guilds" and set about to conquer the Terras for themselves.  Wars broke out over reasons sometimes understood, other times quite vague.  The forces of Light and Dark became entwined so that corruption ran amok.

       But these battles ensued for only a short time, as the Great Devastation once again came upon the lands, destroying all that was.  And, as before, that which was destroyed was once again made anew.  Thus, it continued.....birth, destruction, rebirth.  It became a never-ending cycle...a routine way of life for those who inhabited the Terras.

       With the passing of time, Sages came to call this destructive event, Armageddon.  The Archmagi of the Terras, destined to fight countless, and endless, battles for all eternity, hired out Sages to discover a way to "beat" the Armageddeon.  The Sages failed in their assigned task, though even to this present Age they continue to research and explore the possibilities.  However, in the course of their research, they did come up with a way for a select few to become.......Immortal.

       With the thought of immortality ringing in their heads, the Archmagi of the Terras fought even more feircely.  They developed alliances with other guilds, researched more powerful Magics, and set themselves to be worthy of entering this Hall Of Immortals.  Many sought to achieve this status through "honorable" intent and action, but many chose to have immortality bestowed upon them at any cost.  Thus, the cycle of conflict continued.....even to this present day.

       In the course of events, the Sages on some of the Terras discovered an ancient secret held within some burnt parchments found in abandoned ruins.  From these pages, they were able to decipher the "secret" to actually creating the event of Armageddon themselves !!!!  With this new powerful weapon at their disposal, they continued in attempts to enslave those around them with the constant threat of prematurely releasing the Armageddon so that the chosen among them could enter the Halls Of Immortals uncontested.  This has brought about certain Archmagi and guilds that seek only to slay the fools that cast this ancient enchantment of destruction.

       In the recent Age of Terra, new spells have been learned by those possessing magic, and even more vial creatures of immense power can now be summoned to do their bidding.  Armed with this new knowledge, the endless slaughter continues, but now on an escalated level.  Destruction now rages more profoundly....and the Gods are sought out even more fiercely for even more knowledge of Magics from the Beginning Times.  But the Gods remain adamant in Their silence.....perhaps waiting for a "specific" time to reveal certain arcane knowledge to the truly faithful.

       Despite the advances in Magic and weaponry, and the increase in military thought, the Armageddeon still occurs.  The "cycle" remains unbroken....never-ending.

       And so it is to this day.......
