Eegee's Codex of the Eras

"*250 years ago the land of Uvonor was destroyed by the Mallus. Creating the Malachite Isles, which we sadly live in today. The Mallus was an event of unfortold consequence caused by mortal anger and greed. But before we get into that you must know the basics of our world. In ancient times the old God's walked the mortal world. During the first era, the Golden Era the Gods themselves forged the intelligent races in their own images. The Gods championed civilizations in return for worship and sacrifice. This first race of Golden beings worshipped and loved the gods as their mothers and fathers, and they were rewarded. The world was at ease, disease and monsters didn't exist and the gods helped the Men of Gold in everything they did.*

*As the gods took less and less of a role and interbreeding between the Golden beings became commonplace a new race of Silver was created. During the Silver Era, the God's stepped back as mortals ran world affairs (or so they thought). The Gods still championed heroes, but only blessed civilizations they did not live in them. The gods lived on a great mountain in Uvonor. The Silver mortals were clever and hard-working, but suffered from a thirst for power which led to anger. They created countries, tools of death, armies, and governments and they fought over which mortals owned what. Because of this love for power the Mortals of Silver brought war and disease into the world.*

*As time progressed and the Silver Mortals fought and bred, and the gods took a new step into the heavens a new era was underway. The Bronze Era, the men of Bronze knew not of the material and of themselves. They knew the gods through stories and legends. The gods no longer championed heroes but stayed in the heavens and controlled only cosmic events, but they were still around. The Men of Bronze were inventive and intelligent, creating the arts and technological advances such as alchemy. But these Men suffered from a desire for greed and material things. They created money and the world went from revolving around the gods to the worship of a new master, coin. The Bronze Men fought and worked to own money, but the money owned them; causing them to always want more. They were insatiable, and this brought horrors such as poverty and famine into the world of Uvonor.*

*These Bronze Men eventually gave birth to a new cursed age. The age of Pyrite, fool's gold. These pompous mortals are known as the "Enlightened Ones". The Enlightened lived in a world completely devoid of gods or worship, they had forgotten about their creators. These mortals were plagued by pride and selfishness. They were brilliant in fields of magic and science advancing them to an unheard of degree. But they used them to make themselves more powerful and hold dominion over other people and the world. The gods were growing weary with this new race of mortals and decided to remind them of their creators. Sending monsters and dark magic into the world, to change the Enlightened's course. But they didn't heed the gods' warnings, they refused to worship anything but themselves and declared war on their own creators'. The Enlightened decided to solve this the mortal way through pride, greed, and anger.*

*This war waged for 1000s of years as angels, devils, and monsters attacked the mortal world. The Enlightened were wily and determined, nothing could defeat them in what they invented: warfare. The gods tried to reason with the mortals wanting what was best for their children. The Enlightened Ones refused to surrender or worship the God's, and had their greatest wizards and artificers work on a device to bring the heavens down. They called this device 'The Gods' Malice' likening themselves to their creators as well as calling the gods evil. This bomb caused a flash of light and large quake as the planes tore apart and defeated the immortal ones. The gods didn't think that mortals could ever hold so much power. The Enlightened Ones plunged the world into darkness, creating a new evil: Chaos.*

*With the Mallus causing the death of the Gods and Uvonor, that brings us to our current era: The era of Malachite. The continent was blasted apart creating the Malachite Isles in which we live in today. Rifts in the Material plane link this cursed world to others and allow untold evils to seep into it. The Malachite Race is one of ruthlessness and unpredictability as well as all the evils of our ancestors. The Old Gods are gone and all that is left of them is the spirits. Mortal and their societies are still around and are fighting for the scraps as the world drowns in sorrow and Chaos.*"
