[QUOTE="Ampolitor, post: 2133400, member: 11758"] [b]The age of dreams and the Nephadim[/b] On the surface of Fasya the Tuatha flourished under the protection of the Gods and the Skyrmir. The Gods visited there most faithful in visions during their dreams. In those visions they told them what they wanted to be done, and the Tuatha listened. This was an age of peace for the Tuatha, a age of great visions and an age of dreams. The Nephadim In searching all of the ancient texts and scrolls that have been recovered there is not a lot of information on the Nephadim (Ne-Fa-Dim) as to their number or names with the exception of a few. Belephor knew that there were a few of the Avenar who were jealous of the Skyrmir. This was something that the Gods were not aware of, that the Avenar would have this feeling, but they were more concerned marveling at the statues and great temples their blessed Tuatha were building for them. He knew that the Avenar loved the gods above all else and that they would not openly betray the gods. He knew that they would have to be deceived. He watched the Avenar as they looked down at the World in disgust and when he felt confident he summoned one of the Avenar to his Great Hall. The most outspoken and battle hardened of the Avenar came to speak with Belephor. His name was Metaron.
