The first age

In the beginning the world was flooded with water. It was from this water that the first of the great world trees Li'li'kar sprung. Soon after her a second world tree sprung, Li'minar. By their power combined the land was raised from the waters and with it the gods and the elves.

With the rise of both good and evil the gods soon learned that their powers depended on their faithful and with the otherplaners corrupting the elves they soon lost these. With little way out for the gods, a fourth world tree, Li'gnax, sprouted from the ocean. While it is unknown if this was caused by the gods themselves using all the power they had or simply a lucky timing for them is still debated but the otherplanes soon turned to this world tree as their new battleground. This left most of the elves around Li'sleith, along with those of mixed blood which where too weak to follow their pureblooded breathren no longer part of the war.

After the war had raged for a few hundreds of years around Li'gnax it suddenly subsided with most of the otherplaners either falling ill, losing strength, or outright dying around the world tree. Scholars are unsure of the exact reason for this but most believe it to be the first show of power from any of the world trees. Following this the war ended and the corpses, too numerous to count, began rotting and creating a foul swamp fused with the magic power these beings once had held. Slowly this swamp began manifesting creatures of wierd shapes and forms. Partly otherworlder partly animal. Today these creatures are the main inhabitants of the swamp along the undeads that roam the land. While scholars believe some of the original otherworlders might still be alive in this swamp it is unlikely that they would have much power anymore due to the pressence of Li'gnax.

With the rise of Li'tenar the gods found a patch of land just barely below the surface of the water. While the gods were still weak they saw this as an opportunity to create a species that would be devoted solely to them instead of the world trees that most living things worshipped and lived under. Here none of the trees could truly reach the land and assert their influence and thus the gods once again banded together and raised the savage isles out of the ocean. Here they created many different types of species but perhaps chief among them would be the humans. Short lived due to the limited power of the gods, the humans would still expand from the savage isles and live in all parts of E'ath. Today they are the largest of the sentient species but their limited lifespans prevents them from working together and even in their homeland of the savage isles there are constant wars. Still no matter where they live they are the species most devoted to the gods and with enough faithful to go around even the gods started warring, either because that had been in their nature all along or because they were affected by the humans who had now become their chief source of power.

While several of the other world trees had created dense forest before Li'guth rose from the sea it was only with her rise and connection to another plane that first truly dense forests emerged. These forests soon grew to encompass the entire south western edge of E'ath along with the inhabitants from this new plane. These inhabitants where unlike the previous otherplaner beings in being much smaller and more in tune with the chaotic nature of nature itself. To this day they claim to originate in the 'first world' a term that scholars still debate the truth of.

The creature unleashed upon the world with the rise of Li'sin ar terrorized the world and with the gods and great trees seemingly powerless to stop the creature it fell on the mortals to handle it. Many tried and failed before a seemingly unassuming mortal by the name of Bob Goodbody ventured forth to meet it. There are numerous bardic tales of how the battle was fought but perhaps the most obvious result was the final blow needed to slay the demon. This blow split the land in two and created the great scar. So much blood from the creature was spilled in this region that it corrupts the area even today despite efforts by both gods and mortals to contain the corruption. Thus with the creature slain and peace once again restored the second age of E'ath began.

After the great evil was defeated E'ath was still devastated and many had nowhere to return to. The Holy Order of Druids were some of the first to organize help and start the rebuilding everywhere and soon so too did the gods and E'ath enjoyed a brief moment of peace.

Soon after Bob Goodbody was buried on the easternmost edge of the Li'sin Ar Isles another world tree arose just north of it. This world tree was given the name of Li'kunar and the Island's name changed to Kunar Island. Of the world trees Li'kunar raised by far the least land hence its given name of "Kunar" meaning small.   Due to the sudden arrival of a new world tree, many of those who had settled in the area were displaced and this only increased as Li'kunar seemed to dislike anyone being near it, driving out entire communities.

As the levels of interference continually escalated the druids soon began in secrecy to sabotage explorers with some reports that some druids had started to outright kill explorers. This claim was hard to confirm as there existed several dangers in the tunnels already but the claim itself raised tensions until eventually, a fight broke out. No one is sure who started it; god, druid, or explorer but it soon enveloped the entire wasteland.

The battle of the wasted lands had shown the world that gods and mortals should not combat each other or the face of E'ath would be turned into an undead realm. To avoid something like this from happening again there needed to be some rules of engagement and therefore a ceasefire was declared to create such a treaty.
