Birth of Magic

The Birth of Magic is an event that took place some time after The Great Hatching and is the cause of several key elements in the Realms.

History

Some time after the Ascension party of Louis Tarcial'Embeart, the Old Gods intervened in the world and killed the Dragon Sun God, Phanto. The former sun crystallized and died, becoming what will soon be known as the Moon. The aftermath was filled with chaos, as the Elves lost their immortality and truely began to feel the world they live in, including pain.

Aftermath

After the Birth of Magic, several changes happened in the Realms that would change the life of those who lived before those times drastically.

Dragon Aspects

The six Dragon Aspects, the children of the Dragon Sun Gods Kallisto and Phanto, had a unique reaction to the Birth of Magic. The Six Dragon Aspects became attuned the six magical elements, one for each. Vlauranga became the Dragon Aspect of Fire[1]. Rokesh became the Dragon Aspect of Earth[2]. Quintara Lotus became the Dragon Aspect of Arcane[3]. Ouro'ras became the Dragon Aspect of Light[4]. Golestandt became the Dragon Aspect of Dark[5]. Yvander became the Dragon Aspect of Ice[6].

Elves

The Elves, originally created by Phanto, were no longer protected by the former Sun God's magic and were no longer immortal. They began to feel pain, a sensation they had not experienced before. Now forced to deal with their inevitable death, the six Elven Families establish a large presence over the land and allied with several of the new races and farm the Dragon Silver scales from the Dragon Aspect Golestandt to prolong their life.

Beenu

The Beenu, a race that seemed to exist with the Elves and High Bears before the Birth of Magic as an intelligent race. Not much is known about what happened to the Beenu after the Birth of Magic, but it is known that they died out to unknown causes as mentioned in The Zarlin Catacombs and Unexpected Discovery. A supposed ghostly Beenu said that they began to slowly die out due to lacking a way to reproduce, but this was rectified by Rob in The Senate of Deadlantis, saying they could reproduce.

Kobolds

Kobolds were a race that existed before The Great Hatching, thus predating Elves and Highbears, and even the Divines, were a primitive race that acted more inline with wild animals. After an unknown point in after the Birth of Magic, Kobolds had a split evolution where they gained a sentience like that of Dwarves and Elves, while the Groundbolds continued being primitive. It should be noted that Professor Spydly of the Okagnoma Guild Hall said that Thor created the Kobolds.

Other Races

After the Birth of Magic, it was said by Professor Spydly that several Divine Beings, the children of the Dragon Aspects, began creating races. He noted that one Divine, Thor, created many of the sentient races seen today, such as the Dwarves, Porcs, Forn and Shellmind. It is currently unknown what other races the other Divine Beings may have created nor how Thor created the ones stated if it is true.

Trivia

• It was originally believed in Unexpected Discovery that the Beenu killed Phanto and created the Birth of Magic, however it was revealed in The Senate of Deadlantis that it was the Old Gods who triggered the event.
