==The War of the Illusionist==
In [[Trinity:Timeline#115_CY | 115 CY]], Kotrit had summoned a legion of undead, and used it to commandeer his hometown and the surrounding region. Seeking more power, he went west to the Lost Isle, seeking the [[Trinity:Tower_of_Illusion | Tower of Illusion]].

Once there, he unlocked the secrets of epic magic, and raised the continent of [[Trinity:Lotharien | Lotharien]]. Among his new spells was also a spell capable of creating an eternal winter on a small continent; he used this spell to change the northern tip of [[Trinity:Ashkar | Ashkar]] into a barren, frozen wasteland that would come to be known as the [[Trinity:Ashkar#Rusting_Sands | Coldlands]]. He then used this spell on the southeastern portion of [[Trinity:Chaliraz | Chaliraz]], which had heavy fey populations. The population of the Ashkian Empire sufficiently cowed, he conquered the entire continent with his undead armies.

Kotrit was defeated in [[Trinity:Timeline#118_CY | 118 CY]], when the combined armies of the rest of the world took his legions head-on. Meanwhile, [[Trinity:Tarian | Tarian the Wanderer]] assembled a small group of experts in the nine Forces and assaulted Kotrit's stronghold of the Tower of Illusion. There, Tarian confronted Kotrit and destroyed his physical form. Tarian then sealed the tower, which would remain sealed for hundreds of years. The War of the Illusionist was the first instance in the history of the world in which the nine forces worked together rather than at cross purposes.

However, Kotrit was not defeated; his spirit remained, trapped in the Tower, even while his armies were decimated in the Ashkian Empire. He studied for several years, and then cast yet another, even more powerful epic spell: in [[Trinity:Timeline#121_CY | 121 CY]] the entire southern portion of the world disappeared from memory. Kotrit had seperated the world into two parts, so that he might protect the nation of [[Trinity:Wayverith | Wayverith]] in Sarteri. Until the seal on the Tower of Illusion was broken in [[Trinity:Timeline#398_CY | 398 CY]], the continents of [[Trinity:Distarin | Distarin]] and [[Trinity:Sarteri | Sarteri]] were inaccessible, and the world's memory of those places were vague.
