The Erondós, Legends of the Elder Days. 33rd Edition

Book 4 Introduction (NOT A CHAPTER)

"The first civilization the Holy Immortals and the Lámœrians built together was destroyed and all their knowledge lost during what the Lámœrians called the Cībjiàn, The Great Destruction, and the Ooramerians named this era the Megroos Doklysmós, the Great Cataclysm, and the Pólemos o theo Érontos Onos, War of The Elder Ones.

The Lámœrians from spoken recollection, tell of what happened from their long past in the First Mythos Age. The tale begins with the Holy Immortal named Lólos, who was a prankster and played tricks and loved to share laughter with those he was fond of. One day, Lólos pranked her twin sister Eviovos as they shared a meal. Eviovos was not pleased with her brother and struck him, leaving him humiliated. Lólos became desperate to gain the forgiveness of his sister that he came into contact with Yarnǒtho, the Chaotic Messenger. And from Yarnǒtho, Lólos learned new powers and forbidden knowledge, thus he shared the knowledge and the forbidden words of Yarnǒtho, whom chose him to be his first Chaotic Disciple upon all of Erthos.

Lólos and his cult began to construct in secret the Great Gate of Lomos, a bridge that connected Erthos to the Chaotic Realm of Yonsǒ, where Yarnǒtho ruled. The Goddess Gágio and many Holy Immortals found out about Lólos and his plans and so set forth to stop him. Gágio and her army were too late and found Lólos driven to madness for what he brought into Erthos.

Yarnǒtho evaded capture from Gágio and her Sacred Watchers, which he took form and blended in with the Holy Immortals and Lámœrians, teaching them falsehoods and gathered a following of favoured disciples. Yarnǒtho commanded his followers to build the Great Black Pyramid Temples in his design, thus these temples acted as gateways between Erthos and other chaotic realms bringing primordial savagery and disorder to the world.

The damage was done to Erthos and the chaos brought about the Great Reckoning of the first Civilizations, thus ending the First Golden Age, and all their achievements and knowledge destroyed. The world was devastated and hunger and death became common place.

Within the ensuing chaos, a Lámœrian named Anŏlio, Omer's beloved Cupbearer, with her companions became the first Vampires, hiding in the shadows during many wars of extermination and supremacy between Worthos and Gágio and Yarnǒtho's followers. Worthos and Gágio though enemies, worked together and took it upon themselves to destroy the Temples of Yarnǒtho and the Orders of the Chaotic Gods who ruled over a great number of followers.

Yarnǒtho attempted to open another Greater Portal into Erthos and to bring the Dread All-Father Ahôrannos into the world, thus freeing him from his endless exile in the Unfathomable Abyss where he slumbered for many eons. Yarnǒtho failed and his immortal form on Erthos was slain. Yet the damage he wroth was irreversible." ~ The Hironian Imperial Archaeologist Guild Commentaries of the First Mythos Age Volume 1.
