Age of Scale

The First Age (0 - 2699)

In ages past, the planet of Norrath was lifeless when the goddess of the Dragons, Veeshan, descended upon this world and made her mark on the planet – depositing her brood in the icy lands of Velious. For years, the Dragons ruled over the skies and land until the other gods of the Pantheon became aware of the planet.
Veeshan was not the only god who turned his or her attentions to the new world of the all-creator. Brell Serilis, the Duke of the Below, took note of Veeshan's handiwork and began his own works in the Plane of Underfoot. In secret, he crafted a gateway to an open chasm deep within the belly of Norrath. He made many proto creatures and sent them through the mystical gateway into the twisting tunnels and passages under Norrath. The Duke of Below then sealed the entry to his plane within a labyrinthine chamber of living stone.
It was inevitable that such energies involved in seeding planets with life would attract even more of the gods. An ancient race, known as the Xulous, did spring forth from the will of an unknown god. They were a cunning and powerful race of beings, able to survive in a harsh world ruled by the scaled children of Veeshan. The Xulous built upon the lands that would become Tunaria a great necropolis to house their dead kings. The crypts of the necropolis were fashioned from preserved remains of slain Dragons and it was called Lxanvon, which means in the tongue of the Xulous, ‘Kings Rest'. Centuries past and the other gods by now had deposited their proto creatures among the world. Some kept to themselves and others engaged directly against the Dragons.
