===After Absalom's Defeat (451 CA to 600 CA)=== With the abrupt defeat of Absalom came the near extinction of the Asherlux. Haman quickly found their centers and eradicated any he found with no offer of servitude this time. Carrying out a secret eradication he reduced the Asherlux from their strength of hundreds strong to only a scattered handful. Those who escaped eventually regrouped and fled further inland, where Haman did not yet have spies and could not yet reach. This safety however came with a sort of surrender. For by relocating so far from the Eshtoran coast the Asherlux unanimously gave up on their dreams of ever returning home. Absalom was dead and his child was lost to their knowledge, they no longer had an Immortal from which to breed more Immortals. Worse still, with so few of their number remaining it was inevitable that their common gifts would diminish and could easily be lost entirely within a few generations. Their order's original goals no longer within reach, the Asherlux Society once again reorganized and came up with a new strategy. If they could not use the original stock created by Belteshazzar's mysterious ascension, they would simply find a way to start the process anew, and create a new race to rival the old. Carefully they spread their blood through some of the strongest breeding stock among common humans. Desert raiders from the border between the Spellrend and Eshtora and Marabi, intellectuals of the Vahid, aesthetics from the Kasmiran Kingdoms, were all brought into the program. Enhanced by carefully cultivated Belteshazzar traits, the Asherlux created an intense training regimen that put their previous efforts to shame. The Asherlux also became semi-nomadic, abandoning permanent bases of operation so as to avoid a repeat of Haman's purge. They moved just within the borders of the Spellrend and wandered between various temporary shelters and chapter houses, keeping small waypoints manned by members of their order trained to detect and avoid (or eliminate) threats of discovery. For the most part they seemed to disappear into the deserts and Haman, distracted with other matters, presumed them extinct or at least no longer a credible threat. Cloaked in secrecy while at the same time admitting some of the best and brightest humanity had to offer, the Asherlux grew larger and even more secretive, their society becoming a sort of secret psuedo cult, dedicated to no god but to the betterment of the human race as a whole.
