Age of Magi

This is the future age - the twelfth age of the world. As with the birth of all other ages its direction was determined by not by the everyday actions of the millions of people in the world, but instead by the actions of the most influential people of the age. In the previous age (Age of Heroes) those people were the remaining founders of phoenix_force.

This age is called the Age of Magi because it is now that the Magi will return. The magi left this world only after agreeing to a pact with the gods. The keystone of this pact was that the prisoner shall remain chained up forevermore. Once the prisoner was freed the pact was broken by the gods and the magi free to return an claim their homeland.

The dawn of this age took place at the Well of Life where Tharen Starlight, Hellstrom Darkmaster, Cohen, and Gul faced a terrible decision. A being of immense magical power was chained over the Well where a sword hung over her constantly slicing at her torso; although the wounds immediately healed. From the scars along her body she had been her a very long time.

The woman begged for someone to take up the sword and kill her. Only the Sword of Time had the power to slay her. A man in ragged clothes who was by her side begged them not to kill her, but instead allow her to live as a prisoner for her crimes. When they pressed the man for her crimes - he screamed that she was the source of all darkness in the world - the one that opened the gate for the devils to come to the world long ago.

The members of Phoenix Force chose a third route - Compassion. Hellstrom took up the sword and destroyed the chains that bound her. Power exploded from her body as the ragged man attacked. By the time they defeated him all appeared to be lost as she used the Well of Life to open a tear in reality. Gul sacrificed his life to close the tear - he is presumed to be forever lost in a place where time never moves.

Hael'kun'rah, the last of the Ancients that once ruled this world, was once again free upon the world and the gods and elves would pay for what they did to her. She left the chamber and Phoenix Force had ushered in a new age.
