History of Shandar

"As the veil beween the Unending Planes and the Material Plane thinned, fractures opened between the two, demons pouring out like gushing water. In an instant our ways of life were gone, petty wars and pathetic squabbles no more important as we clinged to life and fought back like cornered beasts."

As the world was engulfed into chaos and war reigned for a hundred years, a single act lost in the currents of time tipped the balance of powers.   A strike to the heart of the Hrak-Tuzul was enough to banish it to the Unending Planes, thus liberating Shandar from the grips of evil and bringing a much longed era of peace. However it was not without a cost. The act killed The Resplendent Mother, goddess of magic, thus taking away the gift of spells from the mortal races.
