The First Age

Enveloped in an aura of profound mystery, the First Age holds a prominent place in the chronicles of Khana's history. This epoch, sparked by the imposition of The Primal Ban after a colossal confrontation between The Primordials and The Pantheon, heralded the birth of civilization. The cosmic titans, now barred from meddling directly in the mortal sphere, began operating through their mortal intermediaries, thus marking the inception of The First Age.
This age witnessed the rise of the three principal races of Khana – the Gar, Rin, and Kuhn. Each left their distinctive footprints in the sands of time, navigating the labyrinth of uncertainties. The First Age was not defined by specific events, but by the evolution and blossoming of these civilizations and their exploration of the world around them.
The Gar, dwelling within the rugged embrace of The Argyros Peaks, harnessed their inherent resilience to forge imposing citadels within the stern mountains. Yet, the Gar, known for their guarded nature, recorded very few details of this age, deepening the veil of mystery shrouding the First Age.
Simultaneously, the Rin, beings of spirituality and mysticism, journeyed through the depths of cosmic understanding, guided by their enigmatic prophecies. They left behind captivating ruins and arcane relics that continue to confound contemporary scholars.
The Kuhn, celebrated for their adaptability and perseverance, blazed trails through the heart of jungles and across the vast desert landscapes, learning to draw upon the power of the elements. Their legacy persists in the form of cryptic symbols inscribed on stone tablets, the true meanings of which have faded with time, giving rise to countless interpretations and conjectures.
However, the 500th year of The First Age marked the onset of a devastating event known as The Great War. The particulars of this conflict remain as elusive as the era itself, casting long, unanswered shadows into the past. The aftermath of this war witnessed a substantial decline in these civilizations and signaled the end of The First Age.
As the era drew to a close, it ushered in The Second Age, leaving behind echoes of a past both grand and tragic. Surprisingly, even the descendants of these races, the inheritors of this legacy, appear equally baffled by the enigmas of the First Age. Whether this ignorance stems from a genuine loss of knowledge or a conscious silence is yet another piece of the age's enduring mystery. This ambiguity serves as a poignant reminder of the depths of the past yet to be uncovered and the mysteries that continue to shape the future.
