Prologue 1-1: Bane of the First Children

Prologue 1-1: Bane of the First Children

Aug 11, 2019

None had studied Magic more closely than Nora Nolovar and in time, she had mastered a number of forms. Her nine siblings recognized her gifts and deemed her the strongest of the First Children. However, Brymia Light foresaw darkness arising from her sister's growing talent.

The Creator saw greatness in the First Children.

And so, for the remainder of their years, He entrusted to them the task to care for the ones who would come in time while He returned to the Heavens. They were to teach the people how to live in His intended ways for they would resume life even after the First Children had passed. And indeed, the New Children came, bringing with them the Era of Civilization. By day, the people worked the fields, building homes and erecting cities. And then by night, they worshiped and praised the Creator for all that He provided.

As numbers of the New Children grew across the world, so did the knowledge and uses of Magic. Their forms and discipline were passed down to them by nine of the ten siblings, with Light tutoring them of the dangers of misconduct. Light's disciples were few but of those numbers, many abstained completely from Magic as a form of their devotion.

Time passed quickly, and Silraphia expanded. Towns and cities spread far and wide across the land. Everything was of good.

However, the strongest of the First Children, Nora Nolovar was unsatisfied. Having grown accustomed to her talents, she refused to accept that her influence would eventually come to an end. Troubled, Nolovar abandoned the task that had been set out for her and vanished without informing her siblings.

When Nolovar returned years later, she felled hundreds of the New Children by blade and Magic. To her siblings, she proposed that in order to ensure their immortality, life in Silraphia should never achieve their Father's desired vision. She would have the New Children erased and thus, returning the world to the time where there was only the ten of them.

Unable to reason with her madness, Light shepherded what remained of the New Children to safety while an inevitable war commenced between the other nine siblings.

It did not take long before the Creator Himself descended once more from the Heavens. And when word of Nolovar’s actions fell upon His ear, He granted to her the immortality she so desired. However, she was to be isolated for all of eternity. The powers she had attained throughout her life thus far were stripped from her.

Nolovar vowed vengeance as her nine siblings sealed her deep beneath the earth, where time and darkness would become her only companions.
