In the latter years of Nathrovas’ prosperity, before the Great Conflict which destroyed it, Bal’gorod Nathrobal gathered together a collection of companions to aid his mission. He gathered them from across the Etayen world, being the homeland of Etal, Amasghal in Nevan, Zorisghal in Othos, or the Ghalûn in Everos itself. Each one among them was masterful in combat and competent in strategy. Bal’gorod lived alongside them in exile, long pondering the mysteries of Atûn’s ancient commandments and words which survived his death.
The numbers of the Atysvala were culled during the Great Conflict and the detonation which concluded it, save for Milenis who survived and travelled to Etal. Their legacy continued there, with apprentices of Milenis carrying through generations by themselves taking new apprentices.
