Altera (In Progress!) As Presented in Then So Shall It Be: Stories of Stone Duology
The timelines mentioned in Then So Shall It Be revolve around the oldest known character at the time that the story was written, Queen Gibril of Ivora. All era abbreviations relate to her name.
Welcome, intrepid traveler, to the world of Altera. Proceed with extreme caution as the Lands are rife with political tensions and not everything is quite as it seems.
Hurry on through the Land of Elesford, and do not stop to accept a mug of snake venom in the taverns. Cover your ears as you wander the dead marketplace of Ivora lest the sound of wailing disorients and distracts you. Do not offend the Diseans and, if you must rest, take your rest alongside the peaceful wanderers of No Man’s Land. Remember: the split Lands of Eruin are friendly but their residents bear no sympathy for your plight.
I, E. Rivers, humbly invite you to stay for a while. And, if you chose to do so, always remember the Prophecy: The Snake Will Rise, The Chosen Son Will Open His Eyes - Revealing the Sun.
Now. Go forth and find the man with the golden eyes.
The history of Altera presented here is to be viewed through the frames of efforts made during the Era of Harmony. Some information may be missing as there was only so much information gained by Elesford and Disea during this time period.
