Chapter 2 The Era Of Heroes

353 1 0

Shortly after The Age of Strife came the Era of Heroes, which is the current era, ss well as a short period of time known now as Cataclysm Averted. This era was started not by the emergence of a hero like the name might suggest, but by the coming of a great threat. Known collectively as The Scourge, these monsters emerge from breaches in reality, portals to another plain where Gods contradictory to our own dwell, creating such monsters and sending them to our realm for reasons unknown. The Scourge are varied in their appearance and traits but they all shar a few similarities, they come from portals that rip a hole from one reality to another that we call breaches. They are all insectoid creatures but they take on traits to benefit them depending on the climate of the breach and they swarm over this land, reproducing quickly and posing an almost impossible task to completely wipe out. Once The Scourge appeared it was made clear that the reason that the gods blessed mortals with the status rituals was to aid in our fight against The Scourge and help us survive the coming times. Over the next 10 years after the first appearance of The Scourge, What we now know as The Tamed Realms was on the brink of annihilation, with waves of creatures roaming the lands, only larger cities were considered safe and the continent was a war-torn ruin. It was at this point we get the first and most important of the heroes that the Era of Heroes is named after, Thalor, otherwise known as The Eternal Flame. Going over the specifics and deeds of Thalor is a book in its own and not fitting for this recount of the era as a whole, but know that Thalor was almost singlehandedly responsible for uniting The Tamed Realms and pushing the Scourge back to the breaches, preserving our way of life.  Once the breaches were maintained, an organization was created to manage the heroes that held those breaches, as well as study and combat The Scourge itself, and this organization would come to be know as the Cerberus Lens Guild. After the containment of the breaches, the period in time know as Cataclysm Averted which stretched from BCA 3785 to BCA 4001 or PCA 1. 

PCA Starts a much less tumultuous time in The Tamed Realms history, in comparison to BCA that is. There were still many events that occurred and factions that rose and fell, not to mention the several heroes in which the Age of Heroes is named after. The next few hundred years are mostly unrecorded, as the kingdom was in the process of forming and rebuilding territories destroyed by the scourge. You get many tales of construction, reclaiming the wilds, and establishing our modern infrastructure such as the continuation and expansion of the Cerberus Lens Guild as well as the Adventurer's guild, But our focus will be on the stories continuing The Era of Heroes which follow some of the strongest adventurers that have ever graced The Tamed realms.
