=== The Anntorii and the Curtain of Death Year 110===
Somewhere in depths of time, an immensely powerful, dangerous, and presumably deranged caster erected '''The Curtain of Death'''. This nearly translucent wall completely surrounded the continent of interest, permeating deeper into the ground than any have tested and further into the air than any have reached. It has a single, baleful purpose: only one in ten of living creatures survive passing through it. All others perish, painfully, on the spot. Those that survive their first crossing are forever immune to its horrible touch, but there is no way to predict or prevent your demise without taking the ultimate risk (Heredity and astrology have so far provided no salvation). 

The breadth and depth of the heinous wall means it severed the '''Anari's''' underground empire. The majority of its citizenry left within the Curtain are the enslaved, weakly '''Molinari'''. The ruling class withdrew themselves into what quickly became their new interior capitol: '''Anntorii''', but the larger masses of '''Molinari''' rose up, embracing a form of intellectual freedom they had never known. Their greater numbers allowed them to broker for better treatment, and new positions within society. Engineer, scientist, smith and speaker were all opened to them. From there, exploration was a natural course by extension to see what now lay within their more limited domain, although it would be ages still before they sought what was above, it was a matter of course for a still expanding race: if one dimension is blocked, they would traverse in the other.
