the age of strife

The World Before the Strife

In the dawn of the world, the land was young and patient. The Great Weave connected all things – stars, rivers, beasts, and souls – through an invisible lattice of harmony. The divine was not a distant order but a chorus that walked among mortals. Gods, ascended mortals, and elemental guardians shared mortal soil, whispering guidance rather then decree.

Civilization bloomed around sacred sites: a mountain that sang with ice, a valley that remembered every footstep, a city built upon a lake that reflected futures.
