==The Rebirth of Lleis == | |||
Near the beginning of the 95th year of the Midnight Age, the villagers | |||
of the Tomaculan tribe resolved themselves to host a festival. To | |||
improve their hunts and yields, they planned to appease all of the Gods | |||
before the coming of the 100th year. Unfortunately, this would not come | |||
to pass. | |||
As Unguk, the son of the tribe elder watched, a pair of young tribesmen | |||
uncovered something remarkable. Beneath the soil of the Savannah was | |||
hidden a massive sphere of smooth glass which seemed filled with a | |||
strange liquid. It also emanated a dark power, which was sensed by two | |||
of the Deities of the realm. | |||
Niuri, Goddess of Mystery took the chance as an opportunity to study a | |||
relic of the past. At the same time, the dark energy within brought | |||
Rahn, the Lightbringer to purify its evil. | |||
Elegnem, the Shaman of the Tomacula tribe found herself possessed of a | |||
strange power as she begin to approach the sphere, and soon she decided | |||
that the power within it would be better used in her own hands. By | |||
focusing her will through the sphere, Elegnem created a shield of | |||
supernatural durability. The powers of Rahn and Niuri were forced out of | |||
the village and by some amazing talent, They were unable to force their | |||
way through the shield. | |||

Sekhtet, the Aakhut of Niuri and Willem, Rahn's High Priest were able to | |||
enter the shield, and placed on either end of the village a pair of | |||
magical censers. Each god believed that if the shield could be lowered, | |||
They could once again reach the object. As Elegnem's strength was pushed | |||
to its limit, her magic began to solidify into a sphere of magical | |||
energy that could be placed into one of the two censers. | |||
Some time later, Elegnem collapsed, and as she did, Niuri found that She | |||
could again enter the sphere. The servants of the Lady of Mystery had | |||
broken Elegnem's shield. A strange afterimage of Elegnem's power | |||
remained in the air and held the Lightbringer away from the village. | |||
Safe in her solitude, Sekhtet summoned the power of Niuri and stepped up | |||
to the strange glass object. While a number of excited people watched, | |||
Sekhtet began to channel Niuri's strength into the object, hoping to | |||
learn what it was and what it contained. | |||
With a sharp crack through the air, the sphere broke where Sekhtet | |||
touched it. Shards of glass were not all that flew from the opening | |||
however, and a cloud of dark gas formed into a host of monstrous | |||
creatures which proved nearly impossible to kill as the defenders fought | |||
bravely against them. | |||
Furious at His inability to enter the shield, the Lord of Fire spread | |||
His will across the Savannah. The people of Tomacula had chosen to | |||
forsake His purification, and now the darkness from within the sphere | |||
was escaping. With His mighty strength, Lord Rahn set a massive blaze | |||
across the Savannah, slaying the creatures and purifying the plains in a | |||
blast of smoke and heat. | |||
Deep within the village the energy that Rahn set upon the Savannah | |||
struck the massive spherical object and intensified. The glass ball | |||
shattered into thousands of pieces and an incredible power shot clear of | |||
it. Sekhtet, Willem and a number of Tomaculans suddenly disappeared, and | |||
the blaze consumed the village. The Savannah was ripped apart by a pulse | |||
of massive earthquakes, and its face was changed forever. | |||
The people of Tomacula found themselves set beneath a massive stone in | |||
the middle of a vast scrubland. Unguk, the son of the Tomaculan tribal | |||
elder stepped up to assume his position as elder. To mark their change, | |||
the suffering they received because of the hubris of Elegnem, and their | |||
new location, Unguk renamed the tribe. Thus, the Mitrine people came to | |||
settle beneath the Mitrine stone. He named the scrubland Liruma, which | |||
meant "Humility" in the ancient Tomaculan, now Mitrine, tongue. In the | |||
southwest, the power that had escaped the sphere solidified within a | |||
vast temple. For it was not the evil within the sphere that was | |||
contained, but rather a Goddess. From the darkness was reborn Lleis, | |||
Goddess of Renewal, and as She awoke, She again came to reside within | |||
the temple of Pleianes in the southwest of the scrubland. | |||
