Departure of the Guardians of Knowledge

According to the Guardians, mankind were created in the hidden city of Syrn. (Note, this conflicts with the Dark Elves story of creation which places dark elves as the first species, though also in Syrn.) In the Guardian narrative, magic was given as a gift to these first beings. Due to the violence and selfishness, mankind was expelled out of Syrn in order to populate the world under the guidance of the Guardians. But at some point, a threat arrived that was so serious that the Guardians had to leave Mundus behind. They left to face the threat, which many have called “The Watchers.”

In the year 1009, the departure of the guardians of knowledge left people seeking answers. Religious preachers seize the opportunity to convert followers, leading to chaotic conflicts among seven religions. The Circle and Teratos gain the most advantage in these clashes, with no respite from the recurring calamities affecting the world. Fears of the end of an era prompt a futile exodus, and amidst the chaos, voices from various belief systems emerge, claiming to guide people through turbulent times. However, a total war between different faiths looms as they blame each other for the calamities. Leaders of major religions mobilize their followers for an impending battle. The Holy See rallies the faithful, Teratos prepares in Syrn, Iliaca's priestesses call believers, and the Circle religion directs followers to Toirac. Solara's and Gorghor Baey's followers are also warned to prepare for the worst. Amidst this turmoil, a lone pilgrim preaches that only one belief among the seven will prevail, and the chosen one will receive the powers of the Great Book. In Loren's tournament qualifiers, armies representing different beliefs gather for the Great Battle. The Sun God Gorghor Baey, self-sufficient, remains above the conflict. A coalition forms against the true faith, which denies the existence of other gods. In the third chapter, Gorghor Baey gives a staff of power to Teratos. Ultimately, Gorghor Baey's forces achieve 11 objectives with 30 men, while the true faith achieves 14 with 450 men. The main objective of the Great Battle is to gather Tablets of Knowledge, revealing Bicolline's history and future clues. A coalition of right-thinking people aims to share knowledge, but conscientious objectors, including Gorghor Baey's men, thwart their plans. Gorghor's horde acquires the crucial Tablet of the Unspeakable, and Mage Glahul deciphers its content. The Great Battle also witnesses the incarnation of the Sun God Gorghor Baey, marking his first appearance since Transubstantiation. However, this event remains private and fails to convince his detractors.
1009 he void left by the departure of the guardians of knowledge and the torments plaguing the world leave men in search of answers. Preachers and religious people take advantage of this abandonment to try to convert them to their beliefs. A concert of seven religions, some of which have several gods, will lead to a most chaotic fight. At times other faiths will unite against the most influential, the True Faith, but at others they will work for their own benefit. The Circle and Teratos will win the most in these clashes.
Nothing seems possible in the face of the infernal cycle of calamities which have befallen our world for a second consecutive year.

Guardians of knkoldge - he Keepers of Knowledge leave the world and leave it at the mercy of a panoply of cataclysms. Men will have to fight to take possession of various sources of wealth allowing them to better survive the difficulties that lie ahead, or to prevent evil forces from seizing sources of destruction. In these battles, the Empire will face the Alliance of the Valents, a coalition of Andoran and the True Faith.

“Called elsewhere they will be, and this for a period of 1725 nights. Three they were, three they are, three they will be to fight this fight that no one else can. »

The prophecy of the Lorekeepers has arrived, their departure means that our world will be exposed to a threat far beyond what we have known or imagined. No matter your allegiance, your creed, your race, your kingdom, when the sun sets for the 1725th time after their departure, be ready because those who lie in wait for us will be ready.

The great hourglass of life has been turned over, the days are now numbered and resources coveted. This long countdown will plunge our world into total chaos, conflicts and wars will bloom like buds in spring, but the summer it announces will only be made of blood.

Plague and famine will strike, arable land will become immense issues and drinking water a precious commodity, the years that await us will be the most terrible that our era has known. We will have to organize ourselves and fight for our own survival, we will not know any respite until the guards return.

But above all, we will have to hope, hope that it is indeed the Guardians of Knowledge who are returning, and not those who are lying in wait for us.

The departure of the Keepers of Knowledge will allow the enlightenment of six men who will become prophets. Touched by the energy of the Guardians, they have the ability to perform miracles and influence calamities. Some will seek to offer them their good favors to attract their friendship, but it is still necessary first to understand them and understand what they want. They were accompanied to the battlefield where everyone tried to carry out their will.

The dark times have arrived. Our world is unleashed and calamities will strike relentlessly, a grandiose evil preached and announced by those whose names we do not know. The guardians of knowledge have left our world, bringing with them their knowledge and their symbiotic power which frozen our reality in time and space.

Calamities are only the beginning of the great changes that will shake up the very foundations of our world. The great truths that we mortals have always taken for granted will become memories that the ancestors will relate to the youngest. Gone are the days when water could put out a fire and death succeeded life.

The guardians of knowledge will not have left us without allowing us to protect ourselves against the great upheavals that await us. A rain of light originating where they left us and dotting our world with fragments of their power, transposed the possibility to us, mortals, of controlling our universe. Those who were enlightened began their quest for knowledge to wield the power of the guardians. This was enclosed in the patches of stars that sparkled in the sky the night of their departure. Leaving their identity behind, they began their long pilgrimage making them prophets.

Of all those who began their quest for enlightenment, six are exalted enough to influence the calamities that will befall us. But while their knowledge and potential comes from the Guardians, their powers are tied to us mortals who will believe and decide which one we follow and accept. Already, those who accompany them can tell of their many miracles, ever more powerful as their number of faithful increases. We can only extrapolate on their true strength and the possibilities available to their followers...

The implacable design, dictated by the departure of the Guardians, has its source in a simple adage, oh so true, let us believe and we can.
