The Aeons - The Interum Between Eras

First Aeon, Between the First and Second Era

Rather than continue to delay the game I'm posting what I can with the energy I have. Play will resume after this starting tonight. Saved actions are still in your queue up to 3.

Upon the far face of each moon a statue shall be placed, ten meters tall and of solid stone, the one showing a person with upraised swords, face full of wrath, the other a person with hands held out to comfort. This statue instantly resonates on the world below making it a time to fight or show mercy at any given axiom of the moons, and as such when the three moons are in conjunction the skill of any fighter is increased a thousand fold.

Time passes as it always has for the elementals, who do not progress much in the time that passes. They learn to plan in the phases of the moon, and fight each other, but the changed elementals are so much more intelligent than them that they quickly subject the other elementals to servitude. There are some dragons who consider this, but consider all other creatures so much more insignificant than them that they largely ignore the others.

In the mean time, the single celled organisms created by Alexandra begin to mutate and evolve as time goes on, becoming plants and insects and a wide variety of other creatures. The world begins to become teeming with life, which is largely ignored by the elementals. Giant dinosaurs walk the earth and bear fleshy resemblances to the fire breathing dragons, who amuse themselves by breeding a few as pets.

The dragons tire of the constant fighting amongst the elementals and build a city for themselves atop the giant Blue Pillar on the opposite pole from Mt. Agni. They also build a set of impossibly steep and complex stairs that ascend it, but none dares climb it.

More time passes and the world is teeming with life. Some of the changed elementals figure out how to use the dark matter to make weapons and begin to kill the changed elementals that they don't like. The fighting is terrible and very soon, those elementals who haven't learned this fighting technique are wiped out. The base elementals are too numerous to be exterminated, but of the changed elementals, their numbers are reduced to 13 in number.

As the Titans are forgotten by almost all (except the Dragons) the changed elementals begin to worship the dragons. Most of the dragons ignore this, but some dragons enjoy it and try to use the changed elementals as a fighting force. Some dragons take offense at this. This causes more and more hostility between the two factions, those that want to use the elementals and those that do that eventually many of the dragons choose sides and begin an intricate game of politics. Then one of the dragons from the freedom side poisons one of the dragons of the order side with some dark matter.

This starts a long and terrible war, which reaches its creschendo at the battle of three moons when their already considerable powers are magnified a thousand fold. Much of the life on the world is exterminated, and the number of changed elemental tribes is reduced to four. Thus, a 'greater' elemental now exists for every regular elemental; Giants (Earth), Kraken (Water), Djinn (Air), and Phoenix (Fire).

The dominion factions win and dragons now rule the world but their numbers are so reduced that they retreat deep into their fast holds in the mountains. Life has adapted and more mammals have begun to appear though dinousars still walk upon the face of the world. Plant and crystal life is abundant.

And the Titans return.
