For near three millennia the Age of Waves has flowed through Tarien, the gory and tragedy of its history recorded by quill and scroll through the curious Soulmeliti invention of writing. Its sheafs fill countless libraries with the sorrow of wars fought over ancient slights, the wonders of invention forever pushing progress, and the bitterness of fear that eradicated the mysteries of magic from much of the continent. But now, the great River of Time may have run its course. Historians have long speculated that other eras predated the Age of Waves. Many believe that each Age ends with apocalypse - a fire to cleanse Tarien so that civilization may grow anew. They claim that they signs are clear for those willing to look. The Age of Waves tumblers to a close ending and the Age of Darkness dawns.
