Syrn When the First Ones wanted to create peace, they needed a place for it to grow. They created the First City for the first race to be born. The race of dark elves lived in Syrn. The development was great, it covered our world. Then the war for magic began. The dark elves fought to the death. For several generations, Syrn remained deserted. The Portals The dark elves were at war for dominance of magic. The First Ones were worried that their children would die. They created a portal in the First City. The dark elves could use it to go to the surface of the world. The portal of the First City opens with the Book of Uskhena Gadah Gos. The elves could now move between the First City and the surface. They could survive the war. Other ways to create these portals were developed. The waudit can be summoned with certain centers. The portal of the First City allows one to move between worlds Asthena Gadah Sos the First Ones created the portals of our world. With them, the dark elves could move between the First City and the surface of the world. The grand portal could also be used to travel among the stars. When the dark elves went to live on the surface, the First Ones closed the portals. The war among the dark elves ceased. The First Ones gave a Book to the dark elves. It can be used to open the portals again. Orapal Camas When the dark elves were at peace, the Book was there. When the dark elves discovered the magic of Orapal Camas, the book was there. When the dark elves fought for the magic, the book was there. When the elves dark left Syrn, the Book was there. The history of this race is in this book. The Book was closed when the elves dark came to the surface. The Telluric Zones of the dark elves were fighting for magic, the First Ones created portals to send the dark elves to the surface. The dark elves could not live on the surface. The First Ones created large magic zones. In these zones, the dark elves changed to become something different. The mortal races were born. In these zones, the races mortals created Gods. The First Ones took back the magic of these zones after the creation of the Gods. The Guardians were First Ones. They lived in another world in the stars. They created several worlds because they wanted to learn from others entities. They created a first race and waited until it became mortal. They learned from our actions. When one of them left his original world because he wanted to dominate, they followed him. They wanted to stop him. The Prophets When the First Ones left the world to to pursue their brother, they left us a way to lead our world while they were gone. Darkness spoke to his brothers in the pleasure of war. The five first ones could not prevent it in time, and the Council ordered that the world would be tested. Great calamities fell on our world and we must survive or the Darkness will exercise its right to rule the world. May the Prophets help us.
The plain, a crypt and a history
After a long stay in the bowels of the beast. The kopte Setoh came back from afar with an even more objective spirit, having left doubts behind him, hovering only on the level of affirmation through the action of men. Going to the battlefield two days before, he had had the opportunity to locate the best places to position himself and waited patiently for the two fronts to arrive, delicately caressing the frail nature. The place was desolate, as if nature had known that a deluge of hatred was going to take place there, a few trees remained and would remain, witnesses to the madness of men in the quest for greed for or against a common objective: incomprehension and stubbornness of reality. Walking through the rare expanses of greenery, he stretched out his hand and closed his eyes, feeling the surroundings and sniffing the air, searching for the two missing elements...they were to arrive eventually through the fire and blood of the fighters.
The kopte learned in two days that two groups were fighting over a crypt discovered in these places, and also knew that these were in fact the ancient places of Orapal Tamas, an esoteric school of the central lands, once destroyed around the year 647. Digging through his references, he learned that a few years earlier, the great masters of Orapal Tamas had taken the initiative to wall up their secrets.

Ghoria: The conflict that is today known as the Battle of Orapal Tamas was not expected, at its beginning, to bring together hundreds of fighters and dozens of guilds. In fact, it wasn't even supposed to be a conflict. The Mages of Díedne, of whom I am a follower, had become aware of the existence of a crypt which, according to ancient texts, housed numerous objects with various occult powers. Wanting to know more and wanting to protect the Balance of the Worlds, we decided to walk towards the region of Eraldosse where the texts affirmed that this ancient school of Magic called Orapal Tamas was located.
When all the members of the Council were in tune with the latest political events concerning the Tower, Mistress Åsa got to the heart of the matter. From a black leather bag, she took out several parchments and a somewhat faded grimoire. Master Boreas and Master Alvarez did not seem at all surprised, which leads me to believe that a meeting of the Masters of the Tower had been held well before the Council was convened. Mistress Åsa then revealed to us that she knew the location of an ancient school of magic where dozens, even hundreds of objects with various powers would have been kept safe and that these objects were just waiting to be found. This school, Orapal Tamas, would have been destroyed during the great conflict which pitted the Empire and its southern provinces against each other. The Mistress of the Tower closed the session by giving us all a document recounting the history of Orapal Tamas. Nothing, however, about how the documents came into his hands. Everyone is entitled to their secrets and it would have been rude and perhaps even imprudent to ask too many questions at this time. Before leaving, I looked at each of the masters and none seemed surprised by the news. I think the captain and the treasurer noticed it too.
A vote will take place on the last day of this year to decide whether the Mages of Díedne will mount an armed expedition to search for these almost forgotten objects. It’s a safe bet that this will be the case.

I have read and reread the documents concerning Orapal Tamas. It is surprising to note that such a great school of Magic could have sunk into such… profound oblivion. It is true that the year 640 was rich in various events: wars, coups d'état, betrayal, resounding victories and crushing defeats. I will transcribe here the main lines of the history of this mysterious school.
Orapal Tamas was one of the greatest esoteric schools in the Middle Lands. All the great masters of the schools of thought of Kalt and the followers of the teachings of the red breath were trained there. The masters of Orapal Tamas devoted a large part of their lives to studying and collecting objects holding occult powers. In the year 647, in the heart of the Dark Ages of the Central Lands, the school was completely destroyed as the region was ravaged by the armies of the northern and southern provinces. The school was never rebuilt and the villagers who survived the conflict left the region permanently to settle on more suitable land.
The stories tell that the masters of Orapal Tamas had all the magical objects they held protected in a crypt which they walled up at the start of the great revolt in the year 640.
According to archives and the statements of certain copyist monks, the crypt houses several hundred parchments, potions, talismans and magical weapons of various origins.

The Council meets again today. The decision was quickly made to set off an expedition to recover the objects from the crypt beneath the Torascon plain. Everything will be planned as soon as possible. Everyone at the Tower, from the citizen to the master, including the guard and the apprentice, will have to carry out their tasks with more professionalism than before. The task before us is of great importance for the preservation of the Balance of the Worlds.
I joined the ride four days ago. All the Mages of the Tower of Díedne are gathered and it is under guard that we march openly towards the crypt of Orapal Tamas. On the way, I was told two important pieces of news and, as nothing can always be perfect, there was good news and, of course, bad news. The good news, or rather the excellent news, is that our friends and allies in Fhaín, barring an improbable
