Ezra : The Era of Void-Crypt
The Era of Nobility was a dark and tumultuous time where mortals formed rigid hierarchies. Power was concentrated in the hands of the noble class. It was an age of war and bloodshed, where the enslavement of people became commonplace and many civilizations collapsed under the strain of war and tyranny. Generation after generation, their greed and corruption continued until a group of explorers returned from the Void-Crypt.
The Void-Crypt was not new to the world; there were all kinds of legends about it. But universally, everyone feared it. Nobody knew where this fear came from, as if it was instinctual. Void Gates, scattered across the land, served as mysterious and feared portals to this enigmatic realm. Though these gates had always been present, their origins and the nature of the Void-Crypt remained cloaked in mystery.
Many adventurers, driven by curiosity or desperation, had ventured through these gates, yet none returned, heightening the fear surrounding them. Though fewer attempted the journey over time, some still dared, and eventually, a few did return.
These explorers came back bearing powerful relics and mysterious abilities, sparking a rush of adventurers eager to seek similar fortunes. Despite the high mortality rate, the allure of power and treasure proved irresistible.
Those who survived the journey back brought with them not just relics, but also the arcane knowledge of the Void-Crypt, reigniting civilization's thirst for exploration and conquest. Empowered by their discoveries, these adventurers began to challenge the existing order. Their newfound abilities and relics emboldened them to rebel against the entrenched nobility, marking the prelude to the end of the Era of Nobility.
A few decades passed, ushering in the new age of the void-explorers. It was during this time that a lone soul entered the realm, from a foreign world.
