Kingdoms of Arathia Wiki

## Welcome to the Kingdoms of Arathia Wiki!

**Welcome, dear reader, welcome. You come at an interesting time indeed ~ well, all times are interesting in their own way aren't they? This one however is a bit unique. Were you here before? No? Oh, well then sit, dear reader, and I shall tell you as best as this humble scribe can.**

For this, we shall use the dwarvish reckoning, you'll see why in a while. Now let's see... how best to catch you up. Records from before the cataclysm are hard to find now-a-days, most having been lost - often along with their owners. One of the furthest back records that we have is the tablet that the dwarves extracted from the now Fallen town of Khen Farum. This was around 23 years Before the Cataclysm. To the rest of the world around them, the dwarves simply disappeared, forges left untended to cool into solid masses, the mighty mountain growing no higher. If you want to know why - you'd best ask them, they're in the town of Thel Durhal at the moment, on the Eastern Island. Ask for Ember, Second of their name, of house Kilbri.

Of course while it did seem strange at the time, the rest of the world moved on all to soon as it often does, and here is where the records start growing thin. From what I've been able to piece together, there seemed to be a new religion, if one could call it that, that swept through the remaining kingdoms. Worship of the Chaos god, Lady Atraxia grew ever larger and evermore bold. It wasn't until Azgad, The Smoldering Shadow came down from the dark skies that the kingdoms truely understood that they had a problem. But it seemed to little to late. The kingdoms fell. Promiance, Coldandria, Old Stones, all gone now, all rubble- I couldn't tell you how it happened. The few survivors that made it rarely speak of it, and there was no sense writing things down while running for your life. Hmm, I can tell you that if you want to understand more, seek out Tyro - should he still be alive. I think he's in a new place.... Amador, I believe they're calling it. It's on the Southern island - look for the white hill and you should find him with a few other survivors. I couldn't tell you where all the boats went, some never made it at all. I know a couple landed on smaller islands, lets see.... there's a small jungle one that has some tiny changes... a small little shack has appeared on the mesa island as well... more for you to explore I suppose.

But here I am gabbing on - The survivors of the cataclysm arrived in these islands a few years back - most landing around year 11 or 12AL{After Landing) - Almost a decade after the dwarvish landing in 1AL. But I shall let them tell their new stories. Go on! Get out there friend- go explore and ask them!
