3.Syann Age of the Godsborn (GA)

-01 GA:The custodians return and with a new generation of gods, their children with them. The Custodians take a new interest in the world and give it to their children to call home.   -100 GA: The Young Gods find the lost servants of former empires not to their tastes and so open gates to the world of the Faeries inviting countless spirits to this world. The gods offer the spirits they like best freedom from the endless cycle of Faerie. The First to embrace mortality and freedom are the Gnomes. Soon after Elves, Dwarves, Goblyns and many other mortal races follow seeking a new world to explore and a new existence to savor as mortal beings.   -105 GA: The Titans claim the godsborn are an offence and that the Custodians have to pay for the harm done to their great mother by the appearance of the gods born and their new races. Most suspect the real motivation for the war was greed, jealousy and the desire to control the gods born. A war breaks out that lasts for an eon.   -23300 GA: Titans betray their own in the name of peace as the war grows senseless and threatens to destroy the entire world. Many of the most evil titans are trapped in the lower planes only the strongest of the Elders escape, the goodly and neutral amongst Titan kind are given their freedom. The custodians agree that their own children are however too powerful to walk the earth in their true form at all times. The gods children are forced to call the outer planes their homes to protect the home they waged war over. It is agreed as a concession however that the dead spirits of their faithful shall join them in the next world and thus is set as divine law that no god will directly interfere least another of equal power and opposing nature be permitted to do so in turn.   -24453 GA: Early Humans are recorded as a race during this time. Most claim they had been evolving since life was created. Most pass them off as an advanced tool-using animal of little note.   The Age of the Walking Gods It is said that the very moment the first of the gods stepped upon Syann that the slumbering mother recoiled and from her womb were born beings of primal power, beings able to balance the might of the Godsborn, The Elder Titans. The mighty Titan's were born from the mother's body and as Syann dreamed deeply were born a number of fey lords from from the strange stuff of her dreamscape.   The world given to the Godsborn was one of conflict and strife, the dragons of old were crumbling to a brutal civil war, their servitor races had become feral or independent as had the countless forgotten spawn of the Aboleth and the Godsborn were not long to encounter that the Fey and Titans had also claimed much of this world as their own.   As the dragons empire crumbled and dragon kind scattered the Gods, Fey and Titans would position themselves as the new rulers of Syann and war was inevitable.   It was not long before conflict came, at least in the reckoning of immortals. Though it was the the seemingly contagious gift of free will possessed by the godsborn that would shape much of this time, for the Godsborn would mix, mingle and find love and hate among titan and fey alike.   The Titans would find themselves divided among they who believed the godsborn could be their friends and they who wanted to destroy them. They fey however seemed to care little for such things and were already starting to find the mortal world less desirable than the magic other-realm they were crafting for themselves.   The Titans would steal the life magic of the dragons and create legions of lesser beings to fight for them, great beasts of all shape and size and a race fashioned after themselves called the Giants. However betrayal and the titans who favored the godsborn would spell the doom of Titan kind. In the end the Dark Titans would be Banished the Giants left masterless and the Titans who has sided with the gods given amnesty.   From the Titans of old the godsborn learned the secrets of creating life and decided that their growing empire would have need of lesser beings of their design to make their existence more tolerable.   Having long seen beauty and power in the forms of the fey the godsborn would draw upon fey spirits and reshape them. So it was that Dwarves, Elves, Gnomes and Goblin kind were forged from the spirits of Seelie and Unseelie fey.   The Mortal beings created by the Godsborn were at first intended as little more than servants and toys for the Godsborn to to do with as they saw fit. However strange as it might seem the young gods started to become attached to these mortal races. Good and Evil, Lawful and Chaotic alike the Godsborn found in the mortals admirable traits and in turn the mortals found the same among the Godsborn and from this a new magic was born channeled through faith. The godsborn in turn found that the more mortals who revered them the stronger they became and this would lead to great strife.   As this occurred in the lands one day to become Dothmirja as events unfolded elsewhere. In the aftermath of the fall of the Dragons and Aboleth their servant races split and ancient empires ruled by saurian, reptilian, piscine and stranger beings ruled the still forming world.   Thiers is a widely unknown age with their wars, cataclysms, achievements and empires rising and falling for countless ages. However much of this time is lost to historians and the races who ruled the world during this time have long since fallen very far from their former grandeur and greatness.   It is suspected by some humans may have first appeared during the later centuries of this Age. Some of the Dragons of the Lung Clan would also leave to form a new place far away from the infighting of the other dragon clans.   As the ages passed greedy Gods attempted to steal or kill the mortals of rivals, and curry the favor of the mortal beings forged by the titans, aboleth and dragons of old, wicked gods attempted to usurp the balance of power for themselves and as they made war the world shuddered, the powers unleashed by the faith empowered Gods caused mountains to tremble, lakes to boil and the sky to bleed. For the first time in untold ages the beast shuddered and her eye twitched.   All the world froze in terror as the great mother stirred, and at that instant the elder gods of magic immediately called their children from the world. It was agreed that the power of their children was such that they would have to limit their physical time upon Syann that the Gods like the titans would have to dwell in realms where their great power would not unbalance the world. Places far removed from risk of awakening the great mother. So did the age of the Gods end upon Syann and the first age of mortals begin.
