Talmorra's First Age Story

Annath Ker Vespasian knew there was something terribly wrong.

There was a sickness at the heart of the world, eating it slowly from the inside out. Men and women she had known for 3 millennia were acting increasingly erratic and it appeared that everyone around them was carrying on as if this was entirely normal. There were rumours of dark pacts everywhere and yet the Heavenly authorities did nothing. One word from SOL she knew would have united the loyalists and allowed them to purge the venom, yet no word came.

Could it be that SOL himself had been compromised?

Annath worked quickly to build a new host, one with which to challenge heaven. Working with disaffected deities and a store of illicit Exaltations gleaned from underworld sources, she readied an arsenal. Next she needed the best candidates from across creation to host her divine weapons. Stealing children from a thousand kingdoms she trained them personally, accepting only the best work and ruthlessly discarding any who fell short from her ideal.

The perfect army was only months away from deployment when Heaven's armies stuck down the Solars; her perfect warriors only added to the chaos of a frightful situation and extended by months the doomed last stand of the Solar Host.
