History of Telarith

While the Whispering Ones and remained imprisoned, their servant races remained, and the Guardians continued their task of exterminating them, finding unexpected help from one of the Darkspawn races.

The Guardian Sa’judthus peers into the Ocean of Chaos for the first time and begins to experiment with it. Believing he can use it to gain strength and protect Telarith, Sa’judthus begins to become consumed and addicted by it. Over time, the influence of the remaining Whispering Gods and the constant barrages of nightmares from the Realm of Chaos corrupt the once noble Shyn'A. and the fall of the Pantheon. In despair and fear, he begins to believe that the only way to protect Telarith is to create an army of warriors infused with the primeval powers of Chaos. Thus began the War of Titans   Sa’judthus uses pure Chaotic magical energy and magic to create and twist an army of chaos Metalborn. Don’eli, the Guardian of the city of Maimo’ea, is the first to learn of Sa’judthus’ betrayal, but instead succumbs to his words and turns into the Fallen Lady. They raise a powerful army corrupted Metalborn and elementals, capturing and corrupting the Forge of Yyndareon. However, Yikt’Al rallies the rest of the Metalborn and with the rest of the Guardians, they defeat the dark armies. Sa’judthus is killed, though Don’eli disappears, and the Metalborn have suffered great losses. With the Forge of Yyndareon destroyed, the Metalborn cannot replenish their numbers, and only the Guardians Ishra, Tysh’Al, Tethra and Iiron remain.

The kingdoms of the three continents begin to grow weary of each other, as the reempowered Ajaran empire takes over all of Sothakar, while the kingdom of Telar rules most of Telreymor, and the oliogga unite again in Eaggami. Eventually, open conflict erupts after several assassinations, and the three continents fight a seven-year long war. This results in division between the many nations of the world.

As the lithryns invade, the Black Brothers, after influencing the Princess Tethalyra Ambros’esha, choose her as their “chosen darkness” and turn her into the Void Queen. They stage a quick and swift coup, wiping out the royal family and forcibly affect civilians with shadow magic. The entire kingdom soon is perverted, corrupted by the void and its people corrupted into shadowy beings. After the Fall of Nothrea, the Union quickly reacted, with the Invasion of Nothrea. While making a headway, the forces of the Union are met at a standstill. There armies are stretched thin between the other major enemy factions, and the powerful void armies prove to be very difficult to combat. In addition, renewed threats from the Covenant and the Pact begin new conflicts in other territories.
