Taming of Telarith

The early ages of the world of Telarith, and the battles between various cosmic forces over the world of Telarith.

In ages past, a shard of pure magical energy from the sphere of light crashes into the core of the world, from which a nascent being slowly nurtured. The Great Spark-Soul called Telarith began to mature, allowing for life to grow upon the planet.   Then came the Whispering Ones, slowly pouring through cracks in reality from the sphere of Shadow. Innumerable and infinite, the singular beings of malevolence slowly pulled together over the ages, eventually developing into three powerful Whispering Ones, gods of corruption and darkness. They were: Umukaye, Za'crull, and En'raka. These ancient and malevolent beings created their own dark races and spawned the Empire(s) of the Corrupters (This "Empire" was divided between the three races and servants of the Whispering Ones), which oozed forth and spread across the world. Thus, the Whispering Ones had dominance over much of the planet, ruling with fists of iron.   The Whispering Ones sunk their roots deep, seeking to corrupt the Great Spark squandered and corrupted the world, and the first early sentient beings, the tela, whom Telarith herself had birthed into being. Though simple, they tried to live out their lives and fight back against the Old Gods, and based much of their early life around the Dawnstone, a shard of Telarith herself. Exposure to the holy light of the naaru results in the tela becoming the tera.   However, true aid arrived when the Lord of Order, who heard the cries of the slumbering Great Spark, and saw the horror taking place. He quickly raised an army of mechanical and stone warriors, the first Metalborn, who would fight against the many dark forces, creating the first Guardian Yikt’Al. He also saw the courage of the tela and blessed them, forming the early teryn race.   The forces of the Metalborn and fought many battles and wars against the Old Gods. The Whispering Ones were mighty indeed, but not united, fighting each other as much as their enemies. By the time the Pantheon arrived, the Old Gods had suffered great losses. With the full might of the Lord of Order, he raised whole armies of stone giants and colossal machine warriors. And he also raised the primitive life-forms of the planet, a race later known as the proto-mam’ael, a progenitor race to many other races. With these combined forces, in the long War of the Taming of Telarith, the Empire(s) of the Corruptors, fell, and the Lord of Order managed to vanquish one of the Whispering Ones, Za’Crull, who had not embedded deep enough in the planet to cause harm (However, this did result the destruction of a massive portion of the landscape).   The Lord of Order then charged his Metalborn to build and create the new world and maintain it. They built several great cities on the moon and the planet, some to contain the Whispering Ones and to maintain order within the world. Secure that all would be well, the Lord of Order left Telarith in order and stability.
