== Hylkos and the Ascension of Ahniet Year 380==
In the final years of the '''Farven Empire''' '''Ahniet''', a mage of some renown, leads a group of human refugees to the '''Hylkos Isles'''. Uninhabited because of naturally occurring (and potentially deadly) spontaneous magical phenomena, '''Ahniet''' binds the local energies to create magical traps and wards defending the isles. Local civilization begins and more humans join as the situation in the empire proper continue to deteriorate.

'''Ahniet''' eventually realizes that the local magical energies are a result of a ley line running particularly "close" to the material word. Experimenting with this wellspring of energy, she undoes herself and is reborn as a demigod of humanity, protection, magic, and lateral thinking. Worshippers and most human sources in general depict her transformation as an act of brilliance. Most non-human sources are inclined to depict her ascension as nearly fatal and half an accident, an example of what humans are inclined to get up to when tampering with forces beyond their comprehension.
