 Ignul's pearl turned out to be an artefact called the Lifeseed. Mal'ael transferred the remainder of her powers into this in her final moments. Embedded in the bottom of the sea, the Lifeseed activated as soon as the last living being on the planet, the beast, went into recluse. The artefact unleashed the power stored within, letting flora and fauna spring to life again and develop naturally as years went by.

 Those who survived this catasptrophe found themselves in a broken, barren desert afterwards, a husk of the once proud kingdom. It was inhospitable for mankind, who found that they could no longer feel and shape the winds of magik with ease as before. These survivors banded together into many different tribes and migrated north, to the heartland of the continent, leaving the fallen kingdom of Nehekara behind for good.

 The Drakhirri, a group of ruthless mercenaries who always ally themselves to the highest bidder were the descendants of the almighty Dragontalon army, which was forged by the Majistik during the War of Unification. Many of those who were united under the banner of the Drake did not find their place in the world after the war was over and the Empire was founded. They feared that they’d be separated from their comrades once enlisted as Imperial troops and reassigned into different regions of the land, and also the thought of peace and simple guard duties on backwater posts terrified many, especially those who became somewhat addicted to the constant combat and adventure. While most Dragontalon soldiers reconciled and chose to serve the Empire, a former group of elite swordsmen, led by Aurelius Drakhelm, decided to defy enlistment and went ‘rogue’, as many would consider.

They were given longblades, thin but balanced swords, which behave almost as of Elven origin. To perfectly wield the longblade, strength and discipline is required. In skilful hands, it can be a very deadly arm, capable of tearing a man in half with a mighty blow.

 '''The Beast of a Thousand Maws and Bel'akl's Betrayal'''
 Medivo was not completely barren when the three arrived. The planet had an eldritch, primordial entity latched on its surface; a gigantic parasite stamping out any attempt of life to set foot on the world. The Chaos Gods knew that they needed to vanquish this creature if they wished to create their perfect world, which they accomplished through a cataclysmic battle that lasted for weeks and scarred the land. The shattered body of the Beast was desintegrated, save for a small shard Bel'akl kept as a trophy, affixed to a golden pendant around his neck.
 As the shaping of the world went on, Bel'akl felt a dark influence gnawing at his mind. It made him wanted to become the ultimate entity of chaos and creation with this world as his ultimate prize, the testiment of his magnificence. To achieve this goal, he used trickery first. He successfully schemed against his brother Ignul by exploiting his insatiable curiosity: Bel'akl stabbed Ignul when he was caught off-guard by his treacherous brother. Bel'Akl absorbed the fading Ignul's essence, his power increasing thousandfold afterwards.
