Through the epochs, '''Chakrasul, the Goddess of Corruption''', has stalked the lands, | |||
preying on those who are easily swayed by dreams of power, or greatness. | |||
She has engendered some of the greatest tragedies of the ages, tainted | |||
the greatest of sages, warriors and defenders of the light. Not even the | |||
Grand Artifice could erase the fear stirred by Her deeds. | |||
Twilight is the hour of encroaching darkness, when men fall most easily | |||
to their darker desires, where the unwary mind falls most easily to | |||
persuasion. Twilight is when the Consanguine emerge from their daylight | |||
prisons, stalking the lands anew. Chakrasul holds this hour to be | |||
pivotal; Her favoured children rise, and men's minds are most receptive | |||
to Her. | |||
The temptation lies in wait for the surrender to one's darkest desires. | |||
In an attempt to gain more power, Chakrasul sent her followers to gather | |||
the essence of the devoured Goddess, Khepri. Yet during a botched | |||
absorbtion the Goddess of Corruption was rendered no more, her presence | |||
no longer felt upon Sapience. | |||
Ysmali, however, soon fell ill, the unstable essences that made Her | |||
fighting for dominance. This eventually lead to Her destruction, returning | |||
the Lady of Corruption, Who took Irijali, the Empress of Djeir to be a | |||
vessel to Her essence. | |||
