Void Cycle: Difference between revisions

Line 23:

In the wake of both these groups, the [[Meraic]] were the next to rise in Aloria. Also called the Fourth Civilization, they were a people who, like the Third Civilization, were located in the south of Aloria. By now, stories of the Void Cycle circled in their society; however, hubris once again proved itself too great. The Meraic grew confident they could survive an invasion, if one ever did come again, through the use of their own Magics. This view, however, was not supported by most scholars within their Empire. Some today believe their knowledge of the Void Cycle was reinforced by the discovery of Third or Second Civilization ruins. In their search for a way for their people to survive, they were forced to explore stasis and immobilization spells, thus increasing the use of Magic in the world. However, their words were powerful enough when, by the twilight of their civilization, they had wealthy patrons, commoners, and groups of non-Magic practicing warriors to help facilitate their slumber. When the Fourth Void Invasion therefore began, thousands, if not tens of thousands of Meraic entered into Chrysalis Stasis in an underground network of chambers known as the [[Tohn Valeer]] located across their lands. With them, they took copies of the [[Tohn Sona]], which were filled with Meraic knowledge, culture, and history, to help rebuild the world once the invasion had passed. Unfortunately, the Void realized this attempt and actively sought out the Tohn Valeer. Some vaults were breached and their sleeping inhabitants slaughtered, but others were corrupted by [[Void Essence]], putting them to sleep for far longer than had been originally planned. Thus, the Fourth Void Invasion came to an end and the next civilization rose.

===The Fifth Void Invasion===

Over all of these millennia, groups and cultures originally united as a single [[Race]], the Seraph, had diverted due to Magic, [[Geography]] or thanks to the passage of time. Thus, the [[Altalar]] ~~began transform~~ into the masters of the world. The Altalar were true successors to the Seraph, plunging deep into the study of Magic and controlling a vast empire, and it seemed like they might be able to finally form an effective force which, after over 10,000 years, could defeat the Void. But the Void got to them, and as more and more Altalar slowly turned to Void Worship, alongside political and factional infighting, [[Estel]] despaired and tried to save them from the end. She created the [[Nenya]] and then the [[Yanar]] to herald the danger of the Void, but few listened to them. Eventually, the Void Cycle began again, but this time something changed. A massive disruption, the Cataclysm, exploded across the world and tore the Veil permanently open. The same action also trapped the Archdemon, leader of the Void, in the mortal world away from its forces, and so the Void Cycle came to an end.
