Chapter 3- The Kingdoms of Tarase, and the Angered One
And so, as each of the Goddess’ Children were hunted down and killed, their fame and legends soon faded away on the winds, turning into myth as the Lordships fought on their endless struggle for power. As years went on, each Lordship watched the other, becoming more and more paranoid from invasion that maybe would never come.
Then, even still unknown to this age, somewhere, someone started it. Almost if it all at once, all of the Lordships warred on one another, pitting brother against brother, father against son, daughter against mother. This war, known as the Ca Ushefe to the historians, or Great Unrest waged on for many generations, slowing down progress and invention to a near-dead stand-still. The rivers flowed with blood, the sky had turned dark by all the firelight that burned endlessly at night, and the cities were either deserted or destroyed within months of being redone.
The Great Unrest seemed to as many that it would never end. That this was their only way of life, to fight and die into extinction. But there were a few, small at best, that truly believed that there was one man who could turn everyone around and remake the land anew. These few were the Albinos, and being ridiculed by their own kind, had fled to a small island off the coast of the Tarlek fie cem Kyos, or Land of the Gods, which they called Ateso Sludo, or Atheslia’s Eye. There, they prayed to the Goddess, Atheslia, whom they believed would stop the senseless fighting between the Lordships and perhaps make the world better. They worked tirelessly for days, praying and making gold and silver. These two precious metals, which were highly prized among all the Lordships, were kept away under lock and key by the Masters of the Atheslian Order.
As they continued on their tasks, they waited for the one day when the one man, the Chugade Uu, or the Angered One, would come to them and construct the Books that they so desperately believed would bring the Lordships together under one ruler and council. Even as they continued on their lonely and quiet lives far away from the Great Unrest, they continued waiting, waiting for the one who could save them all.
