Age of Conflict:

Age of Conflict (18,000 years ago)

 

     Races became estranged to their once brothers and sisters of other races. The unity they once shared was steadily forgotten, dimned by time. Once brothers began to dispute heatedly over many things, the library always being the center of every confrontation.

 

     During this Age, the first murder was committed. From that day on, the debates often ended up in bloodshed, increasing is violence.

 

     A council was held, and a certain wise man was placed in charge of the library. He was given the title of The Knowledge Master, and endowed with the power to protect it, until the day when the races become, once again, united.

 

     Soon the grand doors to the library were sealed as wars and rumors of war began to spread upon the face of the land; whispered in every corner of Utaemia.

 

     At this time, every race separated from the others into various areas of Utaemia.

 

     The gates to the City of Knowledge and the Sister City were shut and not reopened.

 

     War was upon all the races which lingered about and within the two cities.

 

     It was during critical period of time that the Sardakk Elf nation was driven from the service of the High King of the Zurkel Mainland, Nishane Asmond.

     Nearly half their number were slain and driven into the deadly Wastelands, where all races feared to tread. Within this savage region, the Sardakk suffered more death at the hands of starvation, Wasteland preditors and nature itself.

     And thus, the entire Sardakk nation passed out of all knowledge, supposedly devoured by the Wastelands for the sins they had committed against a king they swore to uphold.
