Althought the Island of Naal had always been on the charts and it was inhabitated by quite a few people, of whom mostly farmers, nobody knew that the island was the location where the Goddess Sha had touched the earth. It took until the year 554 E.G. for a Wiser named Cai Enoura to make it his life's work to trace the source of all power. For 56 years he endulged himself in his search for the source and in the year 610, he pinpointed the exact location.

At first, there were only verbal discussions and skirmishes, but as time progresses tension began to grew between zealots of both sides. This would eventually lead into the 'War of the Zealots'.
In 615, two major leaders emerges for each party, both not-affiliated with the Order.
Followers of Sha found themselves led by a self-proclaimed priest called Naran Ka. The traditionalist had been united by Jenae Masek, heir from a long line of promiment religious leaders. While the Order attempted to make amends between both sides, the tensions only stared to grow.
 616
Jenae Masek, leader of the traditionalists, fled to Ereseath where she was taken in by the Order and stayed there until her death in 645 E.G.
Even though the Order had decided not to interfere with the civil war in Acir, they send out envoys condemming Acir's actions and pleading for acceptance for both sides. The violence came to a stop, but from that moment on traditionalists were shunned by Sha believers. It would take another several hundred years, but eventually the other gods and goddesses of the Arcanium Pantheon were forgotten. By altering the history books, Sha believers made sure that in the future, people would believe the traditionalists had been the ones trying to create a new religion. Only in Eresath the books still hold the truth of what happened and it would not be forgotten.

### 800 - 899 E.G.

Normally, the northern tribes are divided and are without a single ruler. In the years between 805 and 815 though, one man called Mephai Hyo, said to be born in the hidden city of Nimr, united several tribes under him and invaded the Idear kingdom. Several cities and towns on the kingdom's east coast were raided and destroyed, Mav Crag being one of them. Not expecting an invasion, it took a while before the armies of Idear could respond to these attacks.
Mephai Hyo, believing that he could easily take the kingdom's capital Anthor, marched straight from Mav Crag to the city. He had heard of the city's famed walls, but believed that they could not stop him. As his army broke on Anthor's walls, Mephai realized the city was beyond his reach and decided to retreat. He was however attacked from behind by an army from Sandos backed up with Enhancers and Sealers from the Order.
After a quick and bloody battle, Mephai Hyo was struck down by the enhancer and army commander Thora Skov.

### 1000 - 1099 E.G.

The village of Thack had existed for quite a while before it became the city it is known as today. When large veins of iron were discovered in the mountains surrounding the village, it soon became a point of interest for the kingdom of Acir. The only way to reach Thack though was through strong and dangerous currents caused by the Islands of Paros and by skilfully navigating along the rocky coastlines both east and west of the village. It was soon decided to construct a road that would lead straight from Ters all the way to Thack, avoiding the need of sailing the perilous seas surrounding Thack. The hardest challenge would proof to be digging a way through the Mountains of the Moon as they were too high to climb over.
A combined force of labour men, Enhancers and Sealers set themselves to the task of completing the tunnel and at the end of the year 1023, after eight months of digging, they finally made their way through and connected the plains of Eidalon with the city of Thack.
Although the construction of the Road to Thack was a huge feat, it was merely a catalyst for a more important discovery: that of the metal called Taen. As Sealers were carving away at the rock and earth underneath the mountains, they stumbled upon small veins of rock they couldn’t get rid of, not even with their strongest seals. After research by specialized Wisers, they came to the conclusion that they had discovered a new metal they called Taen. What made Taen so special was the fact that it could not be altered by the use of the power of the Talents. Instead, it seemed to act as a catalyst for it and strengthened the powers of those wielding it.
