02 History of Theslia: New Era

Allanna noticed that her power and her control of Theslia was waning. She discovered that Nefrius had entered an alliance with Rage, and they had pooled their power and were trying to push her from the world.   She lashed out and pushed against their control, and reached for Trigga and Malladon for their aid. Together they push back against Nefrius. As the Gods struggle to overpower each other, the strain on the world increases greatly.   Rage, God of war, screamed and shattered, his power splitting him in twain. From his corpse rise the Twin gods; Ravanos, God of the good fight, and Krithara, Goddess of dark destruction… Both gods immediately began fighting one another and are too weak to aid in the struggle between Allanna and Nefrius.   Nefrius focused his will and used the power he has remaining to try to break the world, rather than to force Allanna from it. The Sundering begins.

The land quaked and began to buckle, as buildings crashed to the ground. Animals began to panic and stampede, but there is nowhere safe to run.   The walls that separate Theslia from the other realities and the Elemental Planes began to tear. Elemental energies pour in through the rifts, and form the Elemental Regions as the land continued to shatter.   Allanna quickly realized her creation is moments away from being destroyed, and Nefrius’ goal of returning to chaos will be realized.   She accepted that the battle with Nefrius was lost, but she can still save the world. She quickly formed the Spire, and turned large chunks of rock within the remaining slabs of stone into Skystone, a special crystal with the power to float. These slabs stay in the air while the remaining shattered land fell below into the developing Region of Void.   The Spire pulled on the skystone, and caused the new Isles to form stable orbits.   Nefrius then attacked the Heavens and firmament, and the sun and stars above disappear. Allanna quickly turned a portion of the Spire into a bright glowing crystal, making a new day and night. Stars of a different pattern began to shine in the night sky, with two moons circling overhead.   Nefrius overextended himself in his destruction, and with Rage’s power absent, Allanna overpowered him. She sealed him in a crystal chamber in the very bottom of the Spire.   Most of her power was used to hold him in check, however, and she could only save those during the Sundering that she did by forming the Isles. She collapsed into a mortal form, and slumbered in a chamber she created in the new heavens, where she rests to this day.
