World History
The First Age - Dawn of the Realmstriders
At the dawn of history, the legendary Realmstriders walked the land. These ancient beings, whose origins traced back to the very creation of Ethoria, held the power to shape the fate of the realm itself. Their interventions, both great and terrible, forged the world we know today.
The Pact of Non-Interference
So great was the turmoil inadvertently caused by the Realmstriders that the peoples of Ethoria demanded they cease their meddling. A solemn pact was forged, allowing mortals to shape their own destinies. Yet not all Realmstriders agreed with this vow, leading to philosophical divides that echo through the ages.
Important Historical Events
- The First Battle of Kres: The ancient conflict where Realmstriders first clashed with the mighty Kres at the dawn of history
- The Founding of Brindlewind: Establishment of the village that would become home to the Brindlefins

Legends & Myths
The Eukrylix
Whispered in hushed tones, the Eukrylix is spoken of as a being of unspeakable destruction. Some debate schemes to stop it, while others, like Vronos the Realmstrider, propose letting the planes fall, believing life would rise again from the ashes.
The Multiverse Connection
Ethoria is but one plane in a vast multiverse. The Realmstriders possess knowledge of planar travel, and the mysterious Flares serve as sources of incredible energy across the planes.
