Chapter 2 Summary
With the defeat of the Verk Empire and the loss of so many lives, the people of Etera mourned their losses and focused on reclaiming their razed land. With no uniting government, leadership fell on the higher ups of The Rebellion for guidance for some time. During the first few months most of The Rebellions forces were restructured into servicing the people, with many of them focused on rebuilding the capital Kazorith to its former glory.
Whilst this rebuild happened many mysterious towers started to sprout up from the ground, the first of which neighboring the capital. Many adventurers worked alongside one another to study this tower, and determined that it was emitting a pulse similar to the spell message, but much much stronger. After some time the tower started to leak toxic energy into its surroundings, sending people missing for up to weeks. Adventurers managed to gain entry into the tower and managed to put a stop to it, and while doing so unearthed a mystery that shook the continent.
In the tower, now learned of as the Divination Tower, was records of the creation of this planet and its first civilization. It detailed a powerful mage who descended into the previously undisturbed region, and created hundreds upon hundreds of clones to create a self serving civilization. The group developed to incredible degrees, creating the towers, high magitech items, and buildings of incredible stature. After some time however, they seemingly vanished alongside many of their belongings, leaving The Towers as a remnant of their civilization.
One by one, new towers appeared across the continent, and adventurers continually were sent to investigate. As this happened, the reconstruction of Kazorith was completed and the capital was renamed to Babel. The Rebel Leaders decided that, in an attempt to not create the same mistakes of the Verk Empire, would allow all towns and settlements to be self governing. Babel would continue to be the capital and foremost point of international affairs.

This content records previous sessions, downtime events, encounters, plot hooks players could interact with, as well as both IC and OOC stories/accountings of history. Remember though to check the General Archived Content if you wish to find other old lore. Archives is more for content not currently in-use but was canon at some point, while what is here is more clearly defined as historical records and stories of content present/past. I will note, this particular section is very much 'in-progress', so format of the historical navigation may change periodically, and it is very much incomplete. Feel free to help add to it! We have writing bounties in our writing discord channel if you want something out of it, or you can just do it because you wanna help us! I plan to have people slowly work out timelines, records of whatever we can piece together from memory and discord records of old content, and separate them appropriately once we can. | |||||||||||
