=== First Mortal Epoch - The Age of Despair=== | === First Mortal Epoch - The Age of Despair=== | ||
Following the great war at the end of the Second Immortal Epoch, the Gods are confused and scattered, and most of the Ankyreans are dead. The remaining Ankyrean tribes begin subjugating the "lesser races" and begin forming their own small empires. The [[Endorone|Endorone cult]] forms among the subjugated [[dwarves]], studying the power of life essence and deriving techniques to use in conflict with the Ankyreans. A splinter sect within the Endorone beseeches [[Chakrasul]] for aid, and She teaches them the forbidden magic of the [[Chaos Plane]] and the corruptive force of [[Necromancy]]. In [[Hlugnic]], the language of "high" dwarves, "endoron" means "mage". Other races begin using the modified form, "[[Indoron]]", as shorthand for "despair". | |||
* They conquer [[Bloodloch]] in a vicious civil war and drive out the unloyal Dwarves, then collapse under internal stresses as the Chakrasulian cult displaces the original Endoron and embraces their role as bringers of despair. | * They conquer [[Bloodloch]] in a vicious civil war and drive out the unloyal Dwarves, then collapse under internal stresses as the Chakrasulian cult displaces the original Endoron and embraces their role as bringers of despair. | ||
