The following was written by Tarinas, the Eldest Mage of Tarsonis. Within the following text he recalls the events that led to the present state of the world, of which he was witness to:

It was more than three hundred years ago that everything changed.

Back then, everything was different. The nations of today did not exist, and the strife between them was also nonexistent. The elves and dwarves were friendly with one another, and their human counterparts. The great human nation of Humania controlled most of the continent, but did not pressure the borders of the elven and dwarven kingdoms.

In those days, magic came from one source, not many like today. There were no prisms of power. All who were capable of the arts drew their power from the Stone of the Gods. It was said that long ago, Mitrill, the God of Order, had sought to create Magic as a tool for us to shape the world. At first, the Stone was pure crystal, and had no capabilities for destruction. It could reshape, but not destroy. Civilization leaped forward, using the power of magic to further itself. Huge cities were constructed, using magical forces to carve and place heavy stone.
