Meanwhile others have claimed that the motives of the Guardians are not so benign. Priests of Fel'Lökla have written that the Guardians of Knowledge, are in fact intent on the destruction of Mundus and have been trying for several years. They claim they learned this knowledge from the water-being, Fel'Lökla, who was discovered by one of their High Priests while closing a portal. Fel'Lökla is said to be from another world that the Guardians destroyed and came to Mundus to warn or protect it.
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.
The faithful of the Circle religion have been called to go to Toirac, where their diviners will tell them of their latest visions.
Account sent to be from a priest of the Circle
Re: Old Ones. From what I've learned over the years, these beings have appeared before in our world of Mundus and the Hippocampe Duché. They were supposedly 'discovered' or made themselves known, many years before. A religion was founded around these beings known as the Guardians of Knowledge, a race of beings that came before, making the world and all those Mortal and Immortal within it. These Guardians then left for other corners of existence after this awesome act of creation. When they returned years ago, many thought they were indifferent but otherwise powerful beings and so worship was accorded to them. However, as others began to research them, they discovered that these beings weren't merely indifferent or apathetic, they were intent on the destruction of Mundus. Perhaps they were bored with ennui, or maybe they wished to feed upon what their world had wrought. Either way, they were pushed away somehow for a time or distracted. The coming of the being referred to as Fel'Lökla was as a result of a high priest attempting a sealing ritual upon a portal. The rite was successful, however this entity arrived on our world. From what a curious sailor was able to discover, Fel'Lökla is a being of a type akin to the Guardians, however her world was destroyed by them and she managed to survive and come here, with apparent aims to prevent a similar Annihilation. However, we only have the word of this water-affiliated entity and their apparent connection with the race of Blue Men to rely upon. To my knowledge, the True Faith rejects this as heresy of a grevious sort and at most believes the Guardians are a group of rogue angels akin to the Tenamuach in origin. The Circle, to my knowledge, has not written anything in their scripture that refers to the Guardians, though based on their gospels, I suppose it is possible they could be seen as agents of the divine Balance or the Destroyer. The faithful of Fel'Lökla sees them as foes of all creation.
