The Forsaken

The name given to a nation that dissolved over seven centuries ago.
==Formation and Golden Age==
1 A.S. ("After Scorching"). This year was called "The Returning" and marked the end of the Scorching. No one can remember how long the Draconic Legion spent destroying the world. The calendar started on the day they were slain, but it is contested that they were not all slain at the same time, but that the last death lead to the new calendar.
In the years after the Scorching, society began to rebuild. An Oligarchy was established quickly after, lead by five Mages. They helped rebuild the realms. They helped rebuild society. The five called themselves the Order of Saviors. They spoke of how they slew the 100 dragons and wanted to rebuild the world anew, making it better. The first hundred years of their rule were a golden age for Magic and the well-being of the people.
==The Descent==
The age of peace lasted until one of the Mages was murdered. Soon the four remaining Mages began to turn on their people. They began to do unmentionable acts of terror to any who opposed them. For 200 years, the land was under their oppression. Then one day, they were slain. To this day, nobody knows how or by whom. What is known is that was the day magic began to dwindle. The races who had a heritage of long lives began to see their lives shorten, wizards felt the font dry up, and the threads of began to wane and weaken.
==The Fall==
509 A.S. The exact date is unclear, but the fall of the Forsaken was marked on the day the Mages disappeared or were killed in the fall of the City of Vight. Rumors over how the city fell are numerous, with none holding more water than others. It is said their army of Mages fell with them.
