[QUOTE="KirayaTiDrekan, post: 6372500, member: 6755061"] Regarding the time before... The shattering of the Crystal Prison unleashed magic in a sudden wave that ignited natural disasters all over the world. Much of the previous civilization was destroyed and what did survive is now under water, slowly eroding. The further inland on the original continents you go, the more likely you are to encounter the odd artifact from the time before - skeletal remains of skyscrapers jutting up out of the desert, hollowed out wingless airplanes covered in moss and weeds, etc. Lore from the time before is also rare. The electronic means of storing data and information that the world had mostly converted to by the 2040s were completely wiped out. Most of the physical books still in existence were too flimsy to survive the various natural disasters. Some stories and fragments of stories survive, but the retelling has left them barely recognizable. For example, the prophet, Pelor, who founded the Church of the Healing Light, is said to have studied an ancient book that spoke of a man on a cross. He took this to mean that the man was holding aloft the sun itself and that the man was a metaphor for any person who sought to bring light to darkness. Thus the man was forgotten and the sun (and light in general) became the foundation upon which the Church of the Healing Light was built. [/QUOTE]
