History

Centuries ago there was a great war that destroyed much of the rich civilizations that once flourished on the planet. Back then mortals and gods, demons and spirits existed beside one another, as they had for all time. At the climax of the war, when it seemed as though all life would be consumed, a desperate goddess cast a devastating spell that split the energies of the planet apart from one another. Now the most powerful gods are trapped within their own realms, leaving the mortals alone to attempt to recover and rebuild.

Placid peace - other than the usual wars and skirmishes - has settled over the mortal realm, who struggle to fill the gaps where their stores of ancient knowledge and the aid of the gods once stood. Yet the energies were never meant to be separated and the spell shakes the planet to its core, threatening to destroy all... even while the spell itself is all that stands between the weaker mortals and the gods who would conquer them.

For now, life goes on. From the distant ashes of that great war the mortal people have begun to learn of a life without the gods walking by their side, though they find ways to communicate through the realms. Countries rise, old knowledge is found again and made new, villages prosper, and the dramas of mortality and magic intertwine to make a world rich in adventure and possibilities.

Age of Discovery

The Great Massacre [Year -3404] - A tragic year where the elves banded together to try and kill off the dwarves in Kirish, unsuccessfully. The dwarves, being highly skilled in fighting were able to easily kill off most of the elves.

The Abyss War [Year -1000] - The Abyss Wars begin, starting small and quickly growing to cover entire continents and sections of the world. The most powerful gods are on various sides, Dark and Holy mixing with one another as they formed alliances to support their desires.

The Abyss War Ends [Year -700] - Abyss War ends, the Goddess Avavel dies and, with her dying breath, she casts the Abyss spell that causes the Holy and Dark gods to be torn from the world into their own realms. The world becomes a shattered layer of dimensions - the Holy, Dark, and mortal realms. A jagged scar that circles the world (so it is thought) appears in the ground, a canyon filled with dark light that stretches as far as the eye can see down into the depths of the earth and up into the stars of the sky. No one can get through the spell - all who enter disappear.

With the world torn apart by war, some of the most powerful magical cities destroyed or hidden like Avavel, and the gods that have existed for eons alongside mortals disappearing... much of the world falls backwards in time, civilizations becoming extremely independent and cultures having to reestablish and recreate themselves. Travel between lands, once so involved that someone could travel the entire world, practically ceases beyond some trade. Countless lives have been lost - nearly all the world's population from the war - and with populations so scarce there is even less incentive to travel. From the loss of knowledge many technologies and magical abilities - once at their prime - have been lost completely.

The Abyss Spells Weaken [Year 30] - The Abyss spells begin weakening, though no one is sure at first. The veil cackles with lightning and various places in the world begin to experience tremendous earthquakes.

Avavel, rediscovered [Year 0] - The rediscovery was such a huge, and tremendous event that it reset calendars as far as many villages were concerned. With the extensive wealth of information from the most developed times suddenly available again, technology and magical understanding are primed to leap forward hundreds of years ahead of the rate they had been re-progressing on.

With the rediscovery of Avavel within the Harvest Goddess' land her powers erupted overnight. She is now one of the most powerful of the surviving gods of the Holy Realm.

The magical land, discovered [Year 4] - An escapee of the wrath of the king returned to this secret land with a citizen of another country. Portals shot up from all over once the escapee left. This now means that Kirish is open to everyone of all lands.
