God Forgot

God Forgot is the name of the islands also known as the Leftarm Islands or Lesser Archipelago. Its name comes from the wail of its inhabitants, called the Ingareens, at the Dawn, who long bemoaned the loss of their favorite deity. They did not understand the nature of the disaster which beset them and developed, instead, a rabid atheistic belief. When the Jrusteli culture touched them in the Second Age, they bloomed with the new mysteries unveiled before them. They developed and worshiped remarkable machines never before seen, or even imagined. Among their creations were armored Turtle Boats, machines that vomited fire, flying ornithopters with metal wings, war machines, and mechanized prayer wheels that powered their magic.

Going beyond even the hubris of the God Learners, these sorcerers constructed the God Machine Zistor that would purify the world. This resulted in the epic Iron Wars, wherein the New Unity Council united the nations of Kethaela and waged a ten-year war against the Machine God that broke the world with the power, energy, and heroism expended in the battle. Heroes settled long-standing feuds, armies clashed, and even the gods came – Zistor rose up and Orlanth destroyed the Machine God in a terrible and unnatural storm. All that was left behind were cursed ruins set with traps, disease, and ghosts.

The people who survive in God Forgot retained their individual nature and are considered weirdly different by others in the world. But they are a small population and considered less harmful than they used to be.

The people of God Forgot are now ruled by ancient immortals using the Brithini forms of life and government. Their ruler is called the Talar, and he is advised by wizards, guarded by staunch soldiers, and supported by loyal farmers. The Talar loyally supported Belintar (whose appearance was predicted by his wizards).
