ROAD TO REVELATION
Long ago, before the humans migrated to this land, two races thrived in the land of Ezveria: The Evrei and the Drakkoi. The Evrei were a great civilization that was very advanced for their time. They had erected great cities and monuments across the land and said to have found a way to incorporate the land’s magical essence into their technology. The Drakkoi were great reptilian beasts, long lived and wise beings whose origins have remained unknown. They had the ability to communicate with the Evrei and were revered as gods. As the millennia came to pass, in some point of the Untold History, the Evrei ceased to exist the only remnants of their civilization were the great structures they had left behind. The Drakkoi became few in numbers and dispersed throughout the land.
When the first humans arrived to Ezveria they found these great structures but none of the settlers dared to establish their homes there. Humans soon thrived with their own towns and villages, many avoiding to settle close to the great Evrein cities and monuments. Some curious folk would venture into the great structures but very few returned from their journeys. As the centuries came to pass something strange began to happen. From within the long abandoned cities of the Evrei spirits began to roam their streets. Images of humanoid beings, great golems, and other creatures that are unknown to man, began to appear. At first this went unnoticed but as the years came to pass these spirits, images, began to flock the fields beyond the cities and wherever they went, they brought illness, famine, destruction, chaos, and even death. The humans saw them as evil spirits, demons, and sought ways to vanquish them but to no avail.
Suddenly, one day, a great Drakkoi appeared before the humans in Vitlia, the capital city. The Drakkei turned from the great beast he was to a human and revealed to the humans the phenomenon that was happening. The Revelation of Destruction; that which brought the Doom to the Evreins long before the humans arrived to this land. The Drakkoi explained that the only way to stop the revelation is through the offering of life force, in other words sacrifice and so every decade or so a pilgrimage to the Great Evrein city of Seretheim was made, in which a group of humans, either willingly or against their will, offered their lives and made the Revelation cease to manifest for a time. Of course this caused an uproar amongst the humans, but after a group of men and women blindly offered themselves in Seretheim, and the others saw that the spirits ceased to roam the lands, did the humans decided to make the offerings.
Twelve years have passed since the last pilgrimage to Seretheim and now the Revelation is once again manifesting itself. This will be the twenty seventh pilgrimage to Seretheim and the chosen Envoys are now to gather in the capital city of Vitlia to receive the blessing of the Drakkoi so they can start their journey. Though unbeknownst to them, this pilgrimage will prove different from others.
Let the journey begin.
