Children of Jeria
These are those with which we are wary.
Much of this is knowledge recovered from diplomatic relations with The Second Jeriec Empire, and is therefore tainted by their bias and tendency for oral myths. In 2330 BBE (-2330), the First Jeriec Empire was finally destroyed. Due to infighting, aggressors from the Bronze Sea, or simply the will of the Guardians, we do not know. (Our own records do not go farther back with concrete evidence than the Founding of Golryon. ) After this event, the survivors were scattered all across Evandyr, and whatever semblance of contact and unity of mind was destroyed. A group of Proto-Jerians attempted to descend into the flesh-caverns of Avernus and live below Sartova for a thousand years, naming themselves as the Avernal Kings. Their civilization was said to be in constant turmoil, caught between opposing forces and always struggling to survive. They dared not descend into the deepest caverns, lest the Avernal Demons of their fallen God-King find them, and they dared not ascend to the skies of their old home, for the Reivantan Generals were hungry for blood of the Children. Until 1290 BBE (-1290), the Avernal Kings attempted to survive under the earth. After the Founding of Erinion and the Raiding of Reivanta, they saw a chance. Remembering their allies of an ancient conflict through myth and artworks, as well as artifacts, they returned to the surface and found safety in the Elven Empire of Erinion. A millennia under the earth of temperance, construction, and subterfuge, led the Children of Jeria to lose much of their hostile tendencies and cutthroat dogma, replacing them with tactics, stone walls, and the greatest warships the world had ever seen. Joining with Erinion, the Jerians and the Erini prospered for untold centuries, perhaps millennia.As Simon writes, however, the price paid for effulgence is sometimes a void so limitless that only the truly mad can hope to withstand and channel its limits. The Burning of Erinion came, in 0 AB, and destroyed the Empire, as well as all it's memory, artifacts, knowledge, and magic. In the myth "The Emperor of Shyr and the Second Coming of Jeria", the end of Erinion is connected to the rebirth of Jeria. The Jerian ancestries are Hobgoblins, Goblins, and Bugbears, though City Elves can be included as an honorific. These are the ancestries that tamed and rebuilt Jeria, making it the Empire that it is today. IN AETERNUM. AD INFINITUM.
