In a world with no gods and no magic his message of faith and paradise was well received and by the time of his death shortly after the turn of the century the Way was the only major religion in Korinth.


Description:
Annoch-Anol is the mightiest of the Jaaren.  It was Annoch-Anol that gathered the Jaaren to the First Convocation and led them to the conclusion that the Eternal One must be overthrown.  Again it was Annoch-Anol that called the Third Convocation and revealed that the farol were manipulating Jaaren during the Age of the Godless.  He was defeated by the gods during the Breaking and entombed in an emerald dagger.  The dagger said to carry his essence was last seen during the Age of Mankind when the necromancer Razune-Khazar delivered it to the Shan'Del.

Only through the heroism of Benevolent Night (natives to the world of Elindra) was the Seed of the Creator  activated and Korinth made whole again.  As these events occurred in a timeline that has become a shadow prime very few are aware of the role this troupe of heroes played in the salvation of Korinth.


Description:
The Company of the Dawn lived near the end of the Age of Our Lord and battled the nihilistic Tanthraxus Dominion for years.  Finally, in the end, they were able to defeat him but even this victory turned to ash in their mouth as the Breaking crashed across reality.  Despite the terrible loss of life caused by the Breaking the Company of the Dawn saved a far greater number of lives and their heroics inspired tales that continue even to the present day.


Description:

Description:
The leader of the Company of the Dawn, Delunric Brightfang gave his life to save Korinth from the Breaking.  The deeds of the Company have long been immortalized in Korinthian lore.


Description:
Enos-Allas is one of the mighty Jaaren and infamous for being the first Jaaren to kill one of his brethren.  His actions led to the Second War of Powers wherein all of creation was very nearly destroyed.  In the Second War of Powers Enos-Allas led ninety-four of his kin against their brothers.  Only after eighty-eight more Jaaren died did the war end.  It is unknown if Enos-Allas survived this war but his name doesn't appear in any texts after this time.


Description:
The Eternal One has many names but is most often referred to as the Creator.  It was he that created the Jaaren and from him that all life began.  The Eternal One was betrayed by the Jaaren in the Time Before Time and mortal life was created to serve as an ever-changing prison for him.  The name, Eternal One, comes from the cycle of life and death that he was trapped in for thousands of years.  This cycle ended with his final mortal incarnation, Tanthraxus Dominion, and the Breaking wherein he was freed.  He has been seen only briefly since that time.  The Eternal One is rumored to keep a tower somewhere in the grasslands of Niadris.

Description:
One of the mighty Jaaren, Iabulus-Ny is credited with presenting the concept the pit of Abaddon that would serve as a prison for the Eternal One.  He is very much unlike his kin and it is known that he did not partake in the Second War of Powers and did not expel his emotions following the Third Convocation.  He is not mentioned in Archives of the Eternal One following the Third Convocation.  In the Elder Scrolls Iabulus-Ny is revealed to be allied with the Outer Gods, the brothers of the Eternal One, and in fact so long does Iabulus-Ny feed on their energy that he becomes one of these great Outer Gods.

Notes:
Iabulus-Ny and the Outer Gods are based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft.  Iabulus-Ny is the Korinthian equivalent of Nyarlathotep.


Description:
One of the mighty Jaaren and credited with being the Father of Humanity.  It was Iniis-Elan that suggested the very concept of mortal life as a place where the Eternal One could be imprisoned.  It is likely that without this there would never have been life created beyond the Eternal One and the Jaaren.


Description:
Jacaul is the name taken by the Eternal One in his first incarnation following his imprisonment by the Jaaren.  When Jacaul became Aware he attempted to destroy the Jaaren with but a thought.  This caused a magical backlash that killed him, leaving behind his rage and hatred along with no small amount of power.  It was from this power that the farol emerged.

One of the mighty Jaaren, Kel-Elius fought against his brother Enos-Allas in the Second War of Powers.  After Enos-Allas killed a Jaaren and declared that all life must be ruled by the strong, Kel-Elius gathered together thirty-four of his brothers and defended the right of all to live free of tyranny.  The war ended with neither side victories when Annoch-Anol revealed that the treacherous farol were behind the actions of Enos-Allas and his coalition.


Description:
The mad-god Neckroth caused the Draining and is responsible for the death of the young gods.  In patience he hatched a scheme during the Age of Our Lord that would be over 30 millennia in maturation.  Finally in the end, Neckroth who was but a lesser god, rose up to become greater than all the young gods.  He slew them all, without exception, and meant to consume all life.  It is likely that he would have succeeded save that Velcerick and those that Walked With Him rose up to defend mortality.  They transformed Neckroth back into his mortal self (he having been a mortal that ascended to divinity) and cast his body upon the rocks to be food for carrion beasts.


Description:
The Shan'Del are the greatest of the mighty magi associations.  Formed some three centuries into the Age of Mankind, the Shan'Del are determined to protect the world of Korinth from monstrous cataclysms such as the Crisis, Breaking, Draining and Sundering.  Although they were unable to stop the Sundering they were instrumental in helping society recover from the devastation of that time.


Description:
Tanthraxus lived during the Age of Our Lord and was the last incarnation of the Eternal One.  During his lifetime he founded the wicked Octocult and sought to work a mighty spell that would consume all life (mortal and deific) and free him from the prison crafted by the Jaaren.  He was defeated by the Company of the Dawn but not before causing the Breaking that very nearly destroying all existence.  Ironically, even in defeat he succeeded in freeing himself from the prison.  The name Tanthraxus Dominion continues to cause nightmare and fear in the hearts of men across the world.  Not since his days has an evil so mighty eclipsed all the mortal lands.

After defeating Neckroth, Velcerick passed from knowledge for more than 1,500 years until he resurfaced only months before the Sundering and passed into Elindra.
