Age of Wonder
After the Age of Enlightenment, the information and knowledge written in the many, now ancient, books was put to use. The result was astonishing to all who were privileged to be part of the workings thereof. Great cities were built. Two cities, known as the Sister City and the City of Knowledge were constructed and became living souls . . . brother and sister. Many races began searching out the knowledge within the seemingly endless information gifted by those who had gifted and blessed mankind. It seemed endless were the possibilities if the knowledge of the books could be understood and set in motion.
For nearly three thousand years mankind strove as one to harness and shape the secrets within the library which housed the many volumes of information at their fingertips.
But during the last few hundred years of this age, many became covetous of the secrets, not wishing to share such knowledge. Many tomes began to simply vanish as certain trusted people took the books and returned them not.
It was at the close of the Age of Wonder that the library was shut up and guarded. Only the most trusted could enter into the library and continue learning, which caused arguments and debates concerning the use of information within the now seemingly endless source of knowledge within the library.
Races began to divide into factions, and some departed, not wanting to be in the midst of the ever-increasing feuds over the source of knowledge . . . which was once free for all to study.
