Editing Midnight RPG - Chapter 30.111 (section)

===The First of the True===
The First of the True had once been the destroyers of gods. Whether human, Elthedar or something more sinister at first, none know, but the traditions and responsibilities of the order had long since moved to Man. Ever since the Sundering, The First had aggressively hunted, enslaved or killed remnants of the divine all across Pelluria, destroying the past of the continent in favor of the true children of Aryth, by now embodied in mankind. Now, they had come to cleanse Eredane. Beirial was its champion, and he came north with a cause. Word of Izrador had reached their ears, and they came in force to annihilate a broken god. Together with his fellow First, he spearheaded the advance of mankind into Erenland.

'''<font color="990066">Bill's Question:</font>''' It sounds like '''the First of the True''' are a mysterious people that no one knows anything about now, is that right?  But the '''Rest of the True''' were all humans?<br>Also, is his name really "burial"?  Or is it pronounced (beh-ree-ALL)?<br>Where is Beirial now?
:  <font color=red>ANSWER:  "Beirial" is a proper name of someone from history.  '' '''ROLL:'''   Kyuad (Lorebook +18)  ROLLED:  9+18 =   27 ''  <br> ''With this roll - 
::  Known as "Beirial the Seeker", he was one of the first of the Order of Truth. He helped to spread his version of faith among the holy men of Bandilrin, ultimately creating the Order of Shadow. So he was the "FIRST of the True" as in first member of the Order of Truth to come under the Shadow.  As for pronunciation... I don't know.  I just typed it. heheh</font>






Hostility between Man and Fey – the descendants of Elthedar, children of the gods – was immediate. Rather than begin a systematical eradication of the Fey, though, Beirial led his forces north. There was a threat there unlike any which the sorcerer had ever seen before, a creature which not even the stories of The First could describe, and Beirial would lead his men through fire and death to find it. By spell and sword, the Dorns plunged through central Erenland, crossed the Sea of Pelluria, and entered the North. In their wake, they left the decimated cultures of the gnomes and halflings, as well as their own fortifications along the Eren and the Pellurian coast.

In the Northlands, the Dorn did battle with the orcs. Having witnessed the rapid progress of Man across the south, the Keepers felt true fear, and hurled all they had at this new, aggressive enemy. For decades, the races did battle. Thousands died, and Man was forced to consolidate his positions before advancing. In these years, The First founded many cities across the land, beginning the civilization of the Dorns in Erenland.

As the war kept going, Beirial, like all mortal men, aged. In his age, he too felt fear. Fear like he had never felt before. The fear of the death that crept upon him as his hair turned to silver and his skin wrinkled. He feared he would never see this divine, and he feared where he would go when he was gone. The First preached no afterlife, and Beirial did not want to disappear. It was with this goal in mind, that the sorcerer made secret contact with the Keepers. He offered them his order, his fellow men, and himself, in return for one thing: A touch of the divine. The Keepers consented.

Beirial in turn, upheld his end of the bargain. In the cataclysmic years that followed, The First were eradicated, the few survivors the ones who turned to the Shadow. In Pelluria, the rise of the Sarcosan empire with its star worship spelled the doom of the brotherhood on that continent. The Dorns, having lost their champions, were on the brink of doom, when the Fey intervened. Led by Aradil, the new alliance of fey and man halted the tide of darkness, and created new allegiances. This event became known as the First Rise of Izrador.

'''<font color="990066">Bill's Question:</font>''' So the first rise of Izrador was also the first time that non-orcs were made part of the Keepers' conspiracy?
:  <font color=red>ANSWER:  If that's how you interpret it... Yes.  heheh</font>
