The legends of the Amni tell that in the distant past, Anarand’aris was a wild, untamed world, unsuitable for life or the rise of civilization. It was then that the six Overlords, born from the Energy of Creation, descended from Elianno—the home of the gods. With the aid of a uniquely powerful artifact, they transformed Anarand’aris into a vibrant, living world, rich with a diversity of species and home to three human races. Leading this new civilization, the Overlords worked alongside humanity, ushering in an era of prosperity, enlightenment, and wonders unseen ever since.

  The people called this artifact the Heart of Anarand. So vast was its power that the Overlords divided it into six separate pieces—one for each of them—known as the Aledarani. Each Aledara held dominion over an Element of Creation: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Life, and Death. With their Aledara in hand, each Overlord was more powerful than the other five combined. Only in times of great need were the Aledarani brought together by their keepers to once again reassemble the Heart of Anarand.

  A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

  These same legends speak of how the Overlords sacrificed the Heart of Anarand to seal the Do’gaar Portal forever, thus ending the War with Aartókh-Dággaras and saving their beloved Anarand’aris from utter destruction in the insatiable maw of Chaos. Bereft of their source of power and no longer able to exist in physical form, they departed from our world and returned to Elianno.

  Yet, some romantic tales whisper that the six Aledarani still remain, hidden, sustaining the world and keeping it forever beyond the grasp of Moritán. Four millennia have passed, and the truth of this legend is yet to be unveiled.
