The Rise of The Erayax Horde – 250 AE

Founding

Little is known of The Erayax origins, however many believe it was born out of dissent over The Knife Accord and the unity that facilitated. It is, therefore, also believed that both The Kingdom of Geldheim and The Hadovean Empire were aware of The Erayax existence, a belief supported records of minor encounters in the historical documents of both factions.

What was unknown prior to 250 AE, however where the immense numbers that The Erayax commanded.

After over 2 decades of fighting, The Kingdom of Geldheim and The Hadovean Empire where so reduced in numbers that they were utterly powerless to stop the advance of the Horde and retreated to the relative safety of the south, leaving behind them the lands now known as Old Ashnoor.   For those unlucky enough not to have made their escape, a horrifically savage death was perhaps the best they could hope for. While both factions have their theories as to why The Erayax Horde simply stopped their advance, truth be told no one truly knows for sure.   Today little is known about the inner workings of The Erayax. The lands controlled by The Erayax Horde are widely considered to be a brutal, savage place poorly kept and diseased. Though in truth, there are precious few from the factions to have ventured there let alone returned to tell the tale.   Ultimately the long held generational memories from the Erayax first significant appearance has lead to the factions having a mixed approach alternating from apathy to fear regarding Erayax. "If we leave them alone they'll leave us alone" thinking has led to a dearth of knowledge about them.   The Erayax on the other hand have not been sitting still or on their hands.
