 The world of [[Miranda]] had been forcibly reshaped by those who draw upon the power of the heart of [[Mir]], an [[Empyrean Dragons|Empyrean Dragon]], which lays dormant at its core. A large war had been fought over the entire planet and it left the civilizations of the [[Age of Legends]] in ruin. With the [[Black Gates]] now closed and the [[Great Machines]] silent, Miranda resumed her long slumber. The mortals who still lived on Miranda faced a a near endless cycle of fire, pestilence, war, famine. The world of [[Miranda]] had been forcibly reshaped by those who draw upon the power of the heart of [[Mir]], an [[Empyrean Dragons|Empyrean Dragon]], which lays dormant at its core.

 They did not use this power to help others survive, but instead to conquer and control. These Masters worked together and divided up the world among themselves. Each Master ruled with absolute power over their region of the world. Some of The Masters used the mortals within their region as little more than toys, while others forced them to labor on the construction of vast cities and monuments. They did not use this power to help others survive, but instead to conquer and control.

-The only areas that remained free of The Master'​s control were the lands controlled by the godly races. Several of The Masters tried to control these areas, but they were always met with defeat. However, other mortals that tried to flee from the land of The Masters were similarly turned back. The [[godly races]] stood apart from The Masters and the terror they spread across the world.+The only areas that remained free of The Master'​s control were the lands controlled by the godly races.

 For over a thousand years The Masters ruled over the land. They strode as gods among the other mortals - their power granting them near absolute control over the environment. These years of absolute rule brought about arrogance and eventually contempt even for each other. What began as amusement for The Masters eventually led to their downfall. The Masters would often raise large armies and force them to fight each other. Eventually The Masters used their armies to fight each other for control of resources. For over a thousand years The Masters ruled over the land.

 As the chaos army grew near blood red clouds obscured the sun and the buzz of locusts filled the air. The army stood fast as blood rained from the heavens and grubs grew and cracked the earth around them. Chaos reigned around them, but upon that rock of order they stood fast. As the chaos army grew near blood red clouds obscured the sun and the buzz of locusts filled the air.

-Just as the battle started the clouds broke and the light of the sun blazed across the world. Descending from the heavens was [[Vayne]] and his [[creatures:​Valkyries]]. The gods had fashioned a [[realms|realm]] that allowed Vayne to enter this world safely. While his [[primal power]] was only a fraction of its true power, the sound of battle strengthened his heart.+Just as the battle started the clouds broke and the light of the sun blazed across the world.

 Legends speak of the battle between Vayne and Sanmmuhhphir in the same breath as that between Gelin and the Font of Light.

In the end Vayne slew Sanmmuhhphir and brought an end to the Dark Age. Legends speak of the battle between Vayne and Sanmmuhhphir in the same breath as that between Gelin and the Font of Light.
