Everdunes

**Everdunes** is an Age implemented on the Ages: Beyond server.

#### The Great Heresy

So the first prophet to cast away the old gods was Limon. The period this takes place in is the 92nd Century after Limon. Limon iniaties a global wide movement of atheism where ancient gods of the old "Green world" are abandoned and cast away. Following this around the year 2000 is the 200 year war where the old empires of Everdunes are fractured. The first to emerge is Dehell founded around 2500. The new calendar was instituted after this point where the birth of Limon was marked as the year 0. Over time Limon's movement to put faith in man's own self became a new religion of sorts putting faith in Limon himself and other notable saints, prophets, and warriors. The first Lehotan Empire was founded around 4000 and encompassed all land from the Chochtic Mountains to the western coast. After the foundation of Leonor around 5600, a war ravaged Lehota and it was broken up into Lehota proper, Angbas, and Veomir. In 6645 Dehell collapses and enters a period of anarchy where in the vaccum of power rival gang lords seize control of the Kingdom and build massive palaces full of slaves and serfs who protect and scour the Dehellian desert.

#### The Mirage War

In 7326 the Mirage War occurs between the gang lords of Dehell and Lehota and Lehota proper collapses. A period of peace ensues by 7860 and the Dark Ages end. For the next millenia Lehota slowly rebuilds its empire in secret until it is officially reformed in 8463. The new king of Lehota known as Jima I takes on a quasi divine persona and is rarely seen in public except for public executions and battles where he is seen only in full body armor and executes traitors to the empire himself in a quasi religious ritual. The current emperor of Lehota is Jima III and some doubt that he is a different person than his ancestors, many believing Jima to be a demon who takes on new names through the centuries.

### Geography

Everdunes is a dry, desolate Age of rolling sand dunes, generally inhospitable to life. The Age experiences very high temperatures, with very little water to be found.

Underneath the dunes is a much more hospitable environment, where most lifeforms exist. Atrus did not write any lifeforms into the Age, but life came to exist regardless. Even Sentient Beings evolved in the world, who chose to inhabit both the overland and underground of the Age.

#### Crystals

Underground exists Crystals which teem with power. Atrus and his Sons learned of the Crystals during their time in the Age and began utilizing them for their abilities:

1. The ability to create a current, and thus be used as a Power Source.
2. The ability to simulate some of the properties of Ink, allowing one to construct a viewer capable of obtaining images from other Ages.
3. The ability to be used to create teleportation via Portals. This was only found to be limited to Portals in the Age they were built.

There are six colors of Crystals: red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and magenta. While all six possess the same capabilities, each was found to include different electromagnetic frequencies, and thus could be used in different combinations to create different results of Voltages, Frequencies and more with electronics. Each Crystal was given its own name by the inhabitants of Everdunes:

* Alla (Red)
* Leepa (Yellow)
* Raha (Green)
* Yasani (Cyan)
* Nalee (Blue)
* Janimate (Magenta)
