The Pylon of Perfection
The far north of Umbra Silvam used to be a tepid paradise, a place where all plants and animals could live in peace and enjoyment with the perfect conditions. Now, it is a wasteland of ice and freezing water where only the hardiest of creatures can survive. Now, this apocalyptic coast holds the one thing that cursed the land of Umbra Silvam forever, The Pylon of Perfection. Before this event happened hundreds of years ago, the world was in a state of balance that was almost perfect. It was during this time that the gods introduced themselves to the normal humans of the land, and they enjoyed each others company greatly. However, their relations were not meant to be. The humanoids of the land found out about the gods tampering in their ancestors, and caused their lesser forms. In their rage, the humanoids began construction of a giant pylon in the most perfect and magically charged land in Umbra Silvam. This pylon, which was planned by the lands finest scientists, was meant to charge enough power to enable the power which was stolen from them by the gods. The gods were scared off the potential this could bring, however they did not tamper with the construction of this tower, all but one. Nicro was a half-god, formed during the time in which the gods gimped their descendants to become a lesser race. He learned of this pylon's construction and was furious of its construction, and began planning its demise. The pylon had nearly reached completion, reaching far into the heavens and containing all the power it could. It was then that the plans of Nicro had fallen into place. He had gained a rather large and secretive following that infiltrated the tower and sabotaged it, and when the tower was finally completed and begun to initiate the process of which would revert the humanoids into a god-like form, it failed. The tower began to heat and shatter severely, deconstructing and leaking magical energy in mass, until it finally detonated. The entirety of Umbra Silvam was affected by this catastrophic event, plaguing the land in a magic that would consume and destroy all. During this time, the humanoids fought over the destruction of the pylon and fought against each other in a bloody war which was ended by the great calamity which brought the Wildlands, which separated the humanoids onto the reaches of Umbra Silvam. The northern lands which used to be covered in a great grassland are now frozen over and iced, and are covered in a magic radiation. It is now an arctic sea of which contains the shattered and destroyed Pylon of Perfection, a refuge for those with no other place and for those who protect the tower to prevent a similar catastrophe from ever happening again.
