	Welcome to the Old World. This world is an aged and murky place. A place that should have long been cleansed, and parted for a new world. The forces of nature seem to be waning and decay is visible everywhere. Tales of happiness and plenty have long been told, a dark mirror of what the world looks like now.		Welcome to the Old World.

Welcome to the Old World. This world is an aged and murky place. A place that should have long been cleansed, and parted for a new world. The forces of nature seem to be waning and decay is visible everywhere. Tales of happiness and plenty have long been told, a dark mirror of what the world looks like now.

In the Old World the order of things is kept at bay by the [[Gods]]. All the Gods are created by Atherion, the father of all Gods. Atherion is the only remnant of the previous cycle, and when this world's time has come to an end, is to restart the cycle of the world anew.

When a problem arises that requires permanent attention, Atherion created other Gods to occupy themselves with matters at hand. When a plague destroyed the crops in the land, Atherion created Helior, God of Bountiful Fields. Born during the First Great Famine. His excess provoked envy, rot, and waste. When the nations of of the world fought in endless conflict, Atherion birthed Vaelith, Goddess of Peace and Accord. Created during the Age of Endless War. Her intolerance for conflict birthed darker echoes.

Atherion is old, feeble and waning. Word around the villages has been going on for generations that a new cycle should have started already. Even with the attention of the Gods and Atherion, life is becomming increasingly difficult. Crops are near impossible to grow, plague, famine, conflict are becomming increasingly common. Water in wells and lakes are always murky, fertillity rates are down and natural disasters and extreme weather are becomming more and more commonplace. Some say it seems the world is tired and needs to sleep. - Bolgard The Blakk, Dwarven Forgemaster of Irithyl
