Ding! (Grats!) Posts: 37 Joined: 30 Oct 2003 | I'm writing some stuff about the basic story of AC over on asheron.info - things like the olthoi invasion, the sundering, and such.
There are two pieces of lore here on CoD that are very important to this, but they do not give a source. First is from: http://ac.warcry.com/content/lore/ages The quote I am interested in is "As well, vague comments made by Asheron have led the intelligentsia to conclude that the Virindi arrived before any of the other races. They fought with the Empyrean mage over something, and lost."
Where is this from? I seem to remember reading it somewhere else but I cannot locate it anywhere.
The other quote is from http://ac.warcry.com/content/lore/empyrean_history/yalain and it is, "There is further confusion on exactly how much time passed between when the Empyreans were sent away and other races, such as us, appeared in Dereth. "The Sundering" has been blamed for not only skewing the ways of portal space, but also opening the portals to other worlds, the portals that drew us here. The time period between these two events though could have been anywhere from 1,400 to 600 years."
Where did the information on the number of years come from?
I am going to post something on the official turbine forums lore board too. So if you have an answer and an account there, please post there as well. |

I'm not looking for general information. I'm looking for specific sources from the two quotes from articles here on CoD. And actually, just looking for the sources on 1. I found that the Ages of the Empyrean article here is official, its an exact copy of a file on the ACDM CD. So I am looking for the sources that indicate that the time between the sundering and the appearance of the portals is 1400-600 years.
Is Uzi-El still around? |
