"Greetings, weary travelers... I am Professor Alzac, an archaeologist working for the Hassani Collective Academy of Magic. On a recent expedition to a dungeon in the southern territory of the Collective, I unearthed an ancient tablet inscribed with a tale."
Many eons ago, Eaos was a world of prosperity and peace until the gods descended with plans to conduct a perverse experiment. Eaos was safeguarded by colossal beasts, as large as mountains, each governing an aspect of the world they dwelled in. The gods devised a plot to eliminate these guardian beasts and seize Eaos for themselves. These beasts were not easy targets; the gods could not vanquish them in unison, so they chose to exploit a vulnerability. They deceived The Sovereign, the mightiest yet most naive among them, into believing they sought peace and that the others posed a threat to it due to their aversion to change. With The Sovereign deceived and allied with them, the gods initiated their conquest of Eaos. When the remaining great beasts confronted the gods without their sister's aid, they were decisively defeated. Witnessing the gods' betrayal, The Sovereign confronted the challenge her siblings could not overcome. With her formidable power, The Sovereign succeeded in wresting back the power the gods had usurped upon their defeat. Despite her immense power, The Sovereign could not defeat the gods, as she was mortally wounded. With her remaining strength, she uttered a prophecy, foretelling the rise of five chosen heroes, endowed with the might of the great beasts, who would challenge the gods and restore peace to Eaos. Upon The Sovereign's demise, the power of the five beasts dispersed across the globe, infusing the core and magic of the world. The gods, recognizing that the people of Eaos would never yield after witnessing their guardian beasts defend them, decided to reset the world. They unleashed a cataclysm upon Eaos, eradicating all life in an attempt to begin anew.

After the cataclysm wiped the world clean, the gods set about their design, resurrecting the world to how it was, but making sure the knowledge of the great beasts were lost. But just in case the prophecy the sovereign stated somehow would apply to this new world, the gods began pulling in heroes from other worlds to act as their envoys to protect their world. However, what the gods never realized is that this decision would lead to their own destruction. During the next 5000 years, the worlds races returned to the point they were at before the cataclysm, in that time three kingdoms emerged. On the central continent rose the Duullahan Empire, a nation populated by the humans with some hidden communities of the other races. However, Elves and Dwarves have been relegated to mere laborer positions only slightly above enslavement as they do get paid. Even those that have earned enough wealth to buy homes and businesses are still looked down upon for not being human.
The Hassani Collective is located on the eastern continent, their capital of Veldinash was built around the oasis of the black glass desert and has thrived since its inception. The collective use the deserts seemingly never ending supply of ore to sustain their economy, using it along with sandstone in their architecture. The oasis is the only water source in the desert of clean fresh water for its people, however they had managed to bring in water from the ocean and filter it for their growing population.
