Civilization and Culture

History

Not much is known of their history as the only surviving tomes are magical in nature rather than historical. What is known is that at the end of their civilization Zerachiel Vretiel exhausted his magical power to seal a tear in the world that opened the gates of the void with the help of a few others. In doing so it is believed that he, and those who aided him, were petrified into statues forever more. Effectively ending their chapter of history. This is also thought to be the point that the Fae Temp Name entered Vasea and that the Void Walkers established themselves as a necessary defense.
