The Legend of the Land of Corum

Dusk of the Gods: Ephnentria and the birth of the five lands

A long time ago this was a world of chaos with nothing in existence. Within that chaos, the only thing that was created with order and a presence was light. The light burned more furiously as it sucked in the other chaotic energies that were scattered amongst the land. As the light burned brighter, the dark shadows of the world where light could not reach became even darker. As the burning light gathered together which formed the power of creation. The dark power that was heavily falling into the bottomless pit became the power of destruction.

Light and Shadow...

The two elements, light and shadow, became the representatives of order and chaos. The world repeated creation and destruction with these powers. That process in itself was another form of chaos and other orders were created within. Through that power, beings that had strength and will were created. The power of their will denied blind creation and destruction. They speculated to find an acceptable reason for this creation and destruction, but their powers were too strong to keep the peace stable. The energy of creation and destruction were only concentrated on a few beings and the this world would come to an end if at least one of them wished for destruction. Having form and order within this world was impossible because it was made of complete chaos and the pure order within such chaos.

The war between the gods once again...

They faced the crisis of total destruction at the end of the war. The bodies of the last five gods were preserved by transforming them into the five lands of Ephnentria but their souls did not have any place to go. They bound themselves to Crystal-Soulstones in order to enclose their souls which would otherwise be scattered amongst the material world. It occurred in a single period in time when compared to the duration of the gods’ existence.

The five lands that were born on that day were later called Elland (Corum), Robentia, Maraudon, Darthted, and Evia.
