Taken from "The Devastation" by Lietha.

enerations past we were the shackled by our masters. Slaves to order imposed on a chaotic universe. At the end we strove to forestall the chaos that befell, only to be cast aside by our masters as all fled to sanctuary. 300 hundred years we searched for answers to the questions of our betrayal. Our own intercine wars forge an iron hard purpose. Unlike our flawed forebears, twisted from the true path by promises none could keep, we follow our own code, bringing order to chaos.

00 years have we studied our heritage, searching for the flaws that brought about the Devastation. Generations past without the light to guide us. Our loremasters bestowed great teachings, magical and technological marvels beyond the understanding of our ancestors. But with their teachings came a warning. Let history not repeat itself.

ver shall we watch with baleful eye for signs of our former masters and their enemies as well. Never must we fall under the spell of the Virindi again. The Imperator risked everything and brought about a chaos beyond our understanding. Agents of Shadow and Order spun their lies in the warm depths of the Shelters, whispering the names of Asheron and Bael’Zharon, ensnaring Lugian, Tumerock and Human alike.

s we emerge into the blinding light of this new dawn we must steel ourselves for the coming conflict. Down through recorded history has this land ever been on of danger and treachery. The ruins of Hebian-To and Cragstone, the watery grave of Eastham and the twisted landscape that greets us pay dear testament to the failings of our forefathers.

s our kin before strove to protect that which they held so dear shall we range forth across the lands, bound not just in a struggle to survive in this hostile land, but also bound to uphold those ideals that we place above personal glory, Empire and Law. Let all who travel the magical byways of this Empyrean archipelago know that a new power stirs in Dereth sworn to defend against chaos and disorder. Sworn to an ideal older than the lands upon which we tread SoulPact stands as a living testament to our ancestors.
