History
Though the true history of Tūkùmun is unknown to most Mortals, details of the past are included here to give the reader insight into the region’s critical role and contributions to the world. Should relations between the Mortal and Immortal races ever thaw, the world would be astonished to learn about this forgotten chapter of its past.
In 3/841 ER, a stone-age Yrūn tribe moving from the ancient East discovered a great wooden vessel inside a glacier. Most of the ship was destroyed, its masts and planks shattered and strewn across a wide of swath of high mountains. As best could be determined, the ship had fallen from the sky ages ago and was slowly being crushed by the advancing ice. Closer inspection of the strange ship revealed bodies of a kind never seen before by the primitive tribesmen, or anyone in the world for that matter. The story, as it was passed down through countless generations, told that as the bodies were being removed large shards of the glacier broke free, crushing the ship. Soon it was buried under tons of ice. Unwrapping the bodies, the people were startled to find beautiful creatures with translucent white skin and crystal blue eyes. More startling still was the discovery that these creatures were alive. The Yrūn tribesmen had discovered the first of the Içrāe Eylfārehl, shaped over the course of 8,000 years by the magics and harsh environment of this world.
The primitive tribesmen viewed the Eylfāe as messengers of the gods, and the newly awakened travelers did nothing to dissuade their belief. In short order, a relationship was forged between the Yrūn and Eylfāe. The Yrūn would provide for these angelic creatures all that they required and in exchange the Eylfāe would teach the tribesmen secrets unknown to any Mortal Race at that time on the World of Teréth End. This was the foundation of what some consider the greatest Yrūni civilization that the world has known.
