Arcane Journey

The Spellweavers, a mysterious race with powerful spellcasting abilities, built an empire that once spanned the entire multiverse.

Called the 'Nexus Age' because the Spellweavers' colony was called the Nexus, they fashioned massive five-sided spires out of rock and steel, connected to each other by a complex system of portals.

Normally, each world has only one hub, and the spellweavers help the countless civilizations of these worlds develop, and sometimes choose to conquer some too primitive races to serve as slaves and drudgery.

As for those very few racial civilizations that might pose a threat to their own empire, the strategy of the spellweavers is to give each other powerful magic items and artifacts, allowing the opponent to self-destruct due to internal fighting.

In the world of Toril, thousands of years before the elves and dwarves began to prosper, Faerun was at the peak of the Sarukh Empire's rule.

The Spellweaver established a colony called Ariel under a cliff in the northwest of the former Narrow Sea, which is now the city of Eskau.

As the territory of the Isto Saifei Empire of the Sarukh witch continued to expand, and finally came into contact with Ariel, the conflict between the two powerful races broke out immediately.

As the 'lesser' beings ruled by Sarukh far outnumbered the spellweavers, who were subject to a constant wave of attacks, the spellweavers of Ariel used the portal system to move Felin Mokui was brought from other worlds to the Toril universe, and then manipulated Felin Mokui to fight against the Istosyfifer Empire.

At the same time, the Spellweaver also embarked on a more secretive and long-term operation.

Some spellweavers have infiltrated Betis, the mysterious magic organization of the Isto Sefifer Empire through transfiguration magic.

Betis is most famous for writing the golden skin of the Cosmos Serpent, later known as the Nether Scroll.

The Spellweaver planned to use this action to have the Sarukh and Faerim destroy each other.

The reason for this is that the spellweavers of Ariel not only see the Sarukh as a threat, but also fear the phaerim thugs they have summoned with powerful magical abilities.

The war between the Sarukh witch gnats and the Felin mokui continued to escalate. Without the knowledge of Ariel's law-weavers and the law-weaver spies who broke into Betis, the high-level officials of the Yisto Sefifer Empire decided to Cast a powerful spell to divert the Narrow Sea and destroy the Faerim.

This action of the Sarukh Witchfly successfully wiped out most of the Felin Sorrels, and drove the remaining few to the depths of the Underdark. The Stosyfefe Empire falls.

In addition, the Sarukh witch-boa magic also brought disaster to their unknown real enemy Ariel.

The torrential flood came unexpectedly for Ariel's spellweavers. When the flood subsided, the only thing left in Ariel was the wreckage of the pentagonal spire.

This also directly led to the fact that the law weavers stationed in the Toril world never recovered. Most of the few law weavers who survived the flood chose to leave Toril for colonies in other worlds.

One of the Spellweavers remained, Jaeger, the leader of the Spellweaver spies that had infiltrated Betis, where he went by the pseudonym Snarktu.

Jaeger vowed to destroy the Estossefefe Empire to avenge Ariel, and he was determined to kill every remaining Sarukh in the empire.

However, to his dismay, the surviving Sarukh witches chose to retreat and hide behind their magical defenses to recuperate.

The defensive magic of the Sarukh shaman is so powerful that not even the spellweavers can penetrate it.

Jaeger's failed attempt exposed him to Omi's Sarukh Lich Kings and the Felin Mokui of the Underdark. After learning the truth, Sarukh and Felim Mokui took Jaeger to death. And spellweavers are regarded as undying and endless enemies.

His revenge against the Istosyfifer Empire came to an abrupt end due to the assassination of Felin Mokui, and Jaeger had to flee from the Istosyfifer Empire and choose other Sarukh witches' territories as targets of revenge.

While escaping, he took with him a large amount of magical treasures and knowledge, which laid the foundation for the later writing of the Nether Scrolls.

Jaeger realized that the magical knowledge that brought disaster to Ariel would be the key to the rise of the Spellweaver Empire thousands of years later.

In the following time, Jaeger continued to secretly manipulate various powerful races in the world of Toril.

Jaeger has mastered the method of obtaining immortality by staying in magical stasis for a long time. This method is also the secret of longevity for the Sarukh witches of the Mershok Empire.

Through this method, Jaeger continued to secretly hide in Betis.

With the passage of time, the leader of Betis changed from the Sarukh witch to the Bachez demon fish, and then to the Eili bird tribe, and Jaeger has been hiding in it.

Until the golden skin of the giant snake in the universe was written around -3000DR, Betis was no longer useful.

Taking advantage of the first dragon ascension, under the manipulation of Jaeger, the dragon king Nagamat and his dragon allies attacked Viaku, the capital of the Aili bird tribe, and killed the leadership of Betis .

Among the three volumes of the golden skin of the giant snake in the universe, two volumes were hidden in the Sharuk Fortress in Betis, and Jaeger only took the other volume to the Hestra Fortress, and then went south to the former Saaruk Fortress. The location of Okos, the Luke witch empire.

There, Jaeger put himself in a lengthy magical stagnation.

Jaeger believes that due to his secret manipulation of the dragon, Faerun will usher in an earth-shaking change in the coming time.

When Jaeger woke up from tens of thousands of years of slumber, he faced a completely strange world of Toril.

Jaeger had only a superficial impression of the races that dominated this continent, and he was amazed by the magical skills displayed by these "primitive" races.

Jaeger went east along the shore of the giant salt lake that was once the border of the ancient Okos Empire, and came to the Imascar Empire.

There he continued his old tricks of manipulating behind the scenes.

He unleashed a devastating plague on the Imaskar Empire, beginning the Age of Shatra - which means "darkness" in the Imaskar language, and Jaeger's ancient enemies discovered his presence.

What Jaeger didn't know was that the Imaskar Empire had been capturing and breeding phaerim as slaves for centuries, using this terrifying monster to advance its own magical development.

Although enslaved by magic, the hatred rooted in racial memory has not been erased, and Felin Mokui revealed the existence of Jaeger to his master.

What Jaeger exposed was his most proud feat - the golden skin of the cosmic snake, and the magical resonance it produced made the Felin Mokui discover him - the Felin Mokui discovered him thousands of years ago. Having felt the resonance of this then-incomplete artifact, they will never forget it.

Imaska ​​Mechanic and Felin Mokui immediately started chasing after him. Jaeger fled westward to Shaar in a hurry. He had to abandon the golden skin of the Cosmos Serpent and tried to pass through a gate in the former Okos Empire. The Sarukh Witch's portal to escape.

Jaeger was finally overtaken by the hunters in the south of the current meeting hill.

He was killed by his enemies when he pretended to be trying to pass through a certain portal, but was actually trying to use the stasis magic to escape his shell.

However, the stagnation magic, the plane characteristics of the portal, and the destructive spell of the hunter tearing the magic net had a strange reaction, and the surging sandstorm buried Jaeger deeply in the ground of East Xia.

The chasers of Imaska, the machine empire, took away the golden skin of the cosmic snake that Jaeger had abandoned. After many experiments and failures, the Imaska ​​artificers built it into the famous Imaska ​​Seven Secret Artifacts.

A century later, Jaeger awoke from his twisted stasis, and he immediately recognized,
When he was trapped, the empire of the Spellweavers throughout the multiverse was completely destroyed in an instant.I just fell asleep, not only my home was gone, but even my race was wiped out.

This is even more unbelievable than in the real world, when an astronaut has just returned to the blue star, his country is gone.

And the event that led to it is called "The Great Disintegration."

According to unreliable news, the spell weavers of other worlds and planes tried to turn the entire race into true gods through a magic, but failed miserably, and triggered a magical backlash that swept across the entire multiverse. , all the hubs and pentagonal spiers of the Spellweaver violently exploded, killing all the inhabitants of the colony.

Only a handful of Spellweavers far from the Hub survived, and these survivors became the ancestors of the modern Spellweavers, and after this event, the era that Spellweavers called "The Lost" began.

However, Jaeger found a trace of divine fire in his body. Perhaps to some extent, this ascension magic did not completely fail.

Due to the special state he was in at the time, Jaeger gained a trace of divine fire, and the influence of the environment and the negative energy plane mummified his body, so Jaeger was transformed into a demigod mummy.

Jaeger couldn't adapt to the state of divinity and undead that he had just acquired. He set off a massacre in East Xia, killing all the creatures he encountered.

Even thousands of years later, the mantis people who suffered from it still called that period of time "the plague of four claws".

Finally, Jaeger regained his consciousness, and he decided to return to his ancient hometown of Ariel to restore the glory of the Spellweaver Empire.

In order to achieve this goal, Jaeger must perform a magical ritual called "Reversal Codex", which allows a single spellweaver to cast a time-reversing spell that originally required multiple spellcasters to cast, turning the time of the entire multiverse into one. Reverse to before the "Great Disintegration", and then improve the Ascension Magic and re-cast the spell to achieve the goal of making the entire race become gods.

When returning to the vicinity of Ariel, Jaeger found that some "lower" races had established civilizations along the coast of the Narrow Sea and in the nearby mountains and forests.

Jaeger realized that in order to accomplish the feat of turning back time to the Nexus Age, he would have to grow his divinity.

The civilization and beliefs of the elves and dwarves have already formed their own systems, so he set his target on the primitive human civilization around the narrow sea. He must first make them fear, and then transform this fear into faith and strength.

These humans living along the coast of the Narrow Sea are the ancestors of the great arcanists of Netheril.

At this moment, they are still in primitive totem worship, using various sea and land beasts as totem beasts.

Jaeger emerges as a silent, mysterious killer, bringing discord and carnage.

Over the course of a generation, human shamans began to offer him sacrifices and prayers to appease his wrath, growing his powers and laying the groundwork for him to become a member of the Netherian pantheon.

In addition, the mantis people in the distant East Xia also formed a sect that believed in him, where the mantis people called him Chicalata, which means desert killer, which further enhanced his divinity.

Just as his plan was going well, Jaeger's lair under the ruins of Ariel was invaded by dwarves from the nearby mountains, who followed the ruins hoping to find treasure.

After the conflict, Jaeger killed most of the dwarves, but before that a gem warehouse had been ransacked by the dwarves, and the star gems necessary for the "Code of Reversal" magic ceremony were also stolen.

Enraged, Jaeger chased the dwarves and killed them one by one.

The dwarves first fled east along the mountains, and then fled into the Underdark trying to escape the hunt.

Deep underground near a crater, Jaeger cornered the few remaining dwarves.

When Jaeger was about to kill him, the dwarf Wang Danzuo came to the rescue.

An earth-shattering battle broke out between the two, and finally both fell into the crater and were swallowed by lava.

The destruction of Jaeger's half-god mummy body instead freed him from the shackles of his body and became a complete god.

Divinity's ascension stripped him of his spellweaver nature, transforming him into a true god of death, tyranny, and necromancy.

No longer bound by his body, Jaeger began to communicate directly with his most powerful and influential mortal followers in the language of the heart, continuing to enhance his divine power.

The seven small fishing villages in the Narrow Sea were united under the leadership of the elder Nether and named Severton. The shamans of Jaeger relied on the power of life and death and their proficiency in necromancy. Every fishing village sits on the upper echelon of power.

As his power grew, Netherese renamed Severnton Netheril, which means "land of Netheril," and his shamans began to teach those gifted Netherese necromancers.

Nether began to study magic and specialize in necromancy which caused their neighbors the kingdom of elves

Ye Erlan high-level concerns. -3854DR, Yerlan sent men to start paying attention to Netheril. -3830DR, after extensive deliberations, Yeerlan high-level officials believed that the best way to curb the development momentum of the Jaeger Church was to provide Netheril with another way to learn magic,

So the wizards of Gloracion were ordered to teach magic to the gifted humans of Netheril.

Ye Erlan's strategy was very effective, the influence of the Jaeger Church began to decrease, and the Necromancer was reduced to one of the nine schools.

Undeterred by this setback, Jaeger began to increase his divine power by sowing strife, tyranny, death, and destruction among the lesser races in the surrounding area.

Using old tricks from his spellweaver days, Jaeger tried to lure the elves of Yerlane into self-destruction with powerful new magic.
-
3654DR, Jaeger broke through layers of protection and the guards of the tree elders, sneaked into the Betis Hall shrouded in mist, retrieved the two volumes of golden skin of the cosmic snake he put there, and hid them in the ancient elves In the armory No. [-] of the Dradrigis family in the ruins of the empire Arivanda, the protective magic of the armory was also weakened through the etheric plane.

Jaeger plans to sow the seeds of destruction for the elves of Yerlan: to lure the elves of Yerlane who wish to search for the ancient magic of the ancient Vasanta Empire, to "discover" the golden skin of the cosmic serpent and study their secrets, so that the wizards of Yerlane have no time to do anything else. Gu.

And Jaeger can take the opportunity to develop his influence in Netheril.

His plan later bore deadly fruit: -2770DR, the elf kingdom of Sharwen fell, known as the Sharwen massacre in history.

Denzo's dwarves were also targeted by Jaeger.With his support, the Lich King Sana and the Rune Ax clan rose rapidly, and established the Realm of Frozen Death in the heart of the northern forest of the Danzo Kingdom.

Since then, the war between Thanaduun and Danzo has continued from generation to generation, involving countless dwarves in the dispute, winning valuable development time for the fledgling Netheril without external influence, and also giving the undead The development of magic fought for the upper hand.

Under Jaeger's control, in -2018DR, the last descendant of the dwarf king Danzo who had killed him died at the hands of the lich in the frozen realm, and Danzo fell into chaos.

In addition, Jaeger is still secretly manipulating the Sarukh witch, he believes that the Sarukh witch is the most powerful weapon against the Falin Mokui, and can also protect his Netheril followers.

Therefore, he allowed Ithanasas, the most active and cunning of the 66 Lich Kings in Orem City, to give guidance in the process of learning magic in Netheril.

The arcanists of Netheril called Ishanasas the "Earth Prophet" Acindor.

With the help of the Earth Seers, Netheril achieved its greatest magical achievement: the Mither Core.

The principle of Miser's energy core is similar to the magic item used by spellweavers in ancient times to increase the magic power of the hub.

Ironically, while Acindor assisted Netheril to achieve amazing heights in magic, it also made Netheril's attitude towards the gods indifferent, shaking the foundation of Jaeger's belief.

Over time, the slow and irreversible loss of Netheril's Necromancer followers of Jaeger forced Jaeger to take steps to preserve his divinity.

I'm too late today, I'll make it up tomorrow, sorry.
