Age of Endless Seas

Era beginning/end

Through the ages, many explorers have attempted to plumb the furthest depths of the worldtrees, traveling deep into the belly of the earth. While many of these paths lead into hellish depths that would bake would-be explorers alive, a few break out into structures that appear to have been created long ago by the first creatures who arrived here from Akashar, the Shixul. Known as the City, it is thought that from here the Elders conducted their experiments that led to the rise of life on Geron, seeded from the stock of their failing world. Accounts of this time are merely legend even to the creatures who descend from the elders, with various accounts stating that the Elders were sent to Geron as a punishment or that they were intrepid explorers in service to their masters.

Arcane forces have long since run rampant here, and a powerful arcane emanation threatens to melt the flesh and mind of any creature who ventures within it. Beyond its walls lie the crushing depths of the Undersea, a frigid and lightless place inhabited by creatures entirely accustomed to that strange world. Much of what lives in the Undersea simply disintegrates in the light an open air of the surface world. migratory underwhales, undersquid and other strange creatures are known to seek the poisonous warmth of the First City, developing heinous and strange abnormalities as a result.
