Emmeraine

Currently in the 1524 year of the fourth era, Emerraine is home to the three main commitments of Catalnor, Sahu, and Nyavalei. The massive expanse of oceans are dotted by many islands including the tropical island chain of jhabvala.

**History**

The first age:

The Creator Gyam had created the world. After the final island rise from the sea, loneliness set in. In his solitude he created his 5 children, Bargron (earth), Testria (wind), Valnor (fire), Chandria (water), Wystral (magic). These creations however constantly fueded with one another having access to only rudimentary intellectual levels. Gyam, having recovered his power lost during the creation of the world and his children decided to create 9 more beings. Each of these "creations" had an aspect of his power and less broad domains but also kept his intellect and limited omnipotence. These creations were capable of creation and wasted no time in putting the skill to use. Initially the creations worked along side the children of Gyam, first with Bargron sculpting the first dwarves and giving them life. Another grew envious and with Testria's help tried to make a far superior being in the elves. Eventually, the 9 gods began to create without the help of the Titans. They made immortal beings in their own image, races, plants, and animals. Ultimately, this led to the Titan's increasing jealousy. The Titans began by tormenting the various beings in the world with natural disasters: tornadus, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and the like. When confronted by the God the Titans became hostile and the first Titan war began. The war was fierce but brief. The only Titan that remained on the gods side was Wystral. Gyam quickly sided with his favored creations and used his remaining energy banishing the Titans to the newly created elisium, except for Wystral who still acted like his young daughter. The exertion of energy turned Gyam to an old man with little remaining power besides his immortality and omnipotence.

The second age:

This era was another of unbridled creating. The world continued to be populated by more and more machinations of the gods. This age lasted for several thousand years. The worlds population grew to nearly half of the current population with nearly every creature and race seen today. Eventually the creations of the gods began to abuse the freedom given with their creation. The elves developed magics far to powerful for mortals to control. The dwarves grew greedy for the treasures of the gods. Orcs became power hungry and ultimately ended the era by making a deal with the four titans to free them in exchange for unlimited power. They stole magics from the elves and tapped into wystral's pure arcane energy and freed the Titans. A war was waged that reshaped the world once again. The Titans brought with them an army of true giants to raze the land. The gods decided to band together to create a new creature to fight back and the dragons were born. The gods eventually emerged victorious and Wystral sacrificed her physical form to imprison the Titans each to their own elemental plane to shape as they will. Wystral created a plane for herself to dwell in get new form of pure energy. The gods also left the world for elisium or other planes away from the world they helped shape and cut off the mortals from the magic they had once gifted them.

**third age**

the third age was by far the longest age. This era is known for it's growth in culture and civilization. Each race worked to find their place in the world. Wars were fought between mortal races and entire empires rose and fell. The third age ended with the third Titan war. It was find that the gates trapping the Titans in their planes were weakening. After failing completely the Titans burst forth with armies of giants and various elementals. The Titans worked to free their siblings while decimating the world. After the various armies of the mortal races were defeated the gods finally returned. Although they returned they refused to actually fight but they instead taught mortals how to tap into the arcane plane to use magic once again. Armies continued to fall and the population dwindled. The gods decided to give their second gift, an army that would be of fighting age in a third of the time and numerous. They took the best aspects of every race and humans were unleashed to fight the Titans. The gods have their third and final gift to the five leaders in the army of men to help rally all the armies of the world to one joint army. The army was finally able to push the Titan army back to their elemental gates and the gods sealed them once again.

**fourth age**

The current age began with the gods once again leaving the world. Men, fueled by the ambition necessary to live a much shorter life than other races, spread throughout the world and created civilizations in a few generations. After only 1500 years the world has become what it is today.
