The Venerable Order of the Citadel

Creation

For millions of years there were the gods and there was the void. The gods became bored with only the company of each other. From the chaos of the void they created the world and men to be their entertainment and joy. As a result of the gods use of the chaos, a dark creature was awakened. This creature hated the gods and everything they created.

The Noble Line

Man, the creature created by the gods, because unruly. The world was plagued by small groups competing for power over one another. To establish order and rule, the gods created a noble line to rule over all men and bring order back to the world. It is this noble line which lead to the establishment of Eston.

The Great Dragon and the False Nobles

The dark creature, in effort to sadden the gods, spawned from the chaos of the void a Great Dragon that separated the gods from their creation. Because both were created from the chaos, the gods could not destroy the Great Dragon without unraveling creation and destroying man. The gods were forced to wait for a man who was strong enough to smite the dragon. To the further dismay of the gods, the dark creature also created a false line of nobles to compete with the true nobles created by the gods. The world is once again unruly and full of men competing for power.

The Destruction of the Great Dragon and the Path to Harmony

An Eston noble by the name of Marouane was rose to great power. Though Marouane had shortcomings as a man, as a warrior he was unmatched. The gods used Marouane's spirit to fight the Great Dragon. Marouane defeated the Great Dragon's spirit thus allowing the gods to smite the dragon. Without the Great Dragon's intervention, the gods can now contact their creation. The contact cannot be direct, for no mortal can stand in the presence of a god and survive, but the gods can speak to men through departed spirits. The gods wish now to undo the damage which was caused by the false noble lines and reestablish Eston as the true noble line.
