Fenrir's Fangs

The Legend:


     At the center of our world, deep within the core of Etherne, lies the Great Machine. This is the heart of

all things, known and unknown. It is written that the Gods descended from their perch upon Highgard,

into the Great Machine, and it is here that they manipulate the very fabric of reality. The Gods more easily heard

our prayers from within its confines, and were always swift in answering them. These periods of

time were known as Tranquil Passings, and were long lived and prosperous for all Durren. Alas, the

time would come that they need return to High Gard, to once again oversee all within their domain.

These times were referred to as the Watchings, and allowed us as a species to develop our own

paths, and stake out our own cultures and civilizations. We learned to take care of ourselves, and were

never heavily dependant on the Gods.


     After many decades, the Natural Cycle was interrupted, and the Tranquil Passings never came. Our

prayers went unanswered, and turmoil wracked our civilizations. Two great leaders arose to power, to

lead the scattered Durren tribes onward. On the western continent, Fenrir declared himself Lord and

united the people under the banner of the Alterran Consortium. He then ushered in a golden age of

technology and unity. On the eastern continent, Ysenar formed the Legions of Sybar, a proud hardy

people, who valued individual effort and equality of life. The people worked together, as one, to

survive in the rougher landscape. [More coming]
