"When the greatest of trees were but mere saplings, and the tallest of mountains, nothing but rubble, he ruled the land. His power, his strength and ferocity scared even the bravest of souls and the hardiest of men. His kingdom stretched to the farthest cavern and the deepest mine, his vision hovering over it all. His urge to find out the secrets of the world, kept him wanting to expand it further, and further. But alas, his fate was one quite dire, for he destroyed his own land, with his own two hands. Fueled with jealousy and corruption, he tore everything apart, leaving nothing but ash and dust behind.
Too late was it when his senses returned, for all that he had loved had already been lost. As punishment for his evil doings, he forced his hands to be cut off, a sign that no cruelty should go without retribution. As his hands fell to the ground, so crumbled his kingdom, and in that moment of absolute truth and passion, he realized the cause of his downfall:
Jealousy, Metamorphosis, Curiosity, Authority... and Corruption.
For it is said, that when brothers wage war, and the world deep in darkness, his chaos and maliciousness will return, and no soul will be great enough to withstand it." Cyrolian Record --- Commonly perceived as tall tales and folk lore.
