The great void calls. In dreams, the vast emptiness haunts my sleep. Four students, empowered by the wisdom of their master, forsook and sealed him away. Eons later, he is freed, and, in his rage, laid waste to the most powerful of the heroes of these kingdoms, as well as obliterating his former students. The students beguiled the people of these lands, and succeeded in gaining their cooperation to summon their corporeal forms back to these lands. They used them to protect their return to their pillars of power, and had these pillars reinforced. These lesser pillars, created by mere students, were reinforced with powers greater than their own. Through their deceit, they encouraged many powerful heroes to infuse their pillars, finally gaining enough power to seal away the weakened master, whose power they took to make themselves totem gods, before sealing him away. These seals are weakening. The four students have remained in their four domains, sleeping, with no thought to the plight of these lands. The people have surpassed them, but they stir not, because to help them would mean that they would become less than them. With the only path to greater power being sealed away, these four students have no reason support their followers, and so, they slumber eternally. But, the pillars are failing. The heroes who reinforced them have long since departed these lands. The students have not bothered to reinforce them in ages. The master stirs fitfully. His minions of the Vortex are being slaughtered. Their power slowly leeches through the ground, and rejoins their source. Chizao will wake. The pillars will fall. The Vortex will again fall under his might. This shall bring about a great shift in the power balance of these lands. The secrets of the fifth, and greater marks shall be attainable, once again. When the source of magic once again walks the surface, secrets not even imagined will once again become possible. Rejoice! The reckoning is at hand! | |
