the knife in your back

elgar'nan and mythal created the world as we know it, andruil taught us the ways of the hunter, sylaise and june gave us fire and crafting, but fen'harel kept to himself and plotted the betrayal of all the gods. and after the destruction of arlathan, when the gods could no longer hear our prayers, it is said that fen'harel spent centuries in a far corner of the earth, giggling madly and hugging himself in glee.

my blood flows like a river

and that is how fen'harel tricked them. our gods saw him as a brother, and they trusted him when he said that they must keep to the heavens while he arranged a truce. and the forgotten ones trusted him also when he said he would arrange for the defeat of our gods, if only the forgotten ones would return to the abyss for a time. they trusted fen'harel, and they were all of them betrayed. and fen'harel sealed them away so they could never again walk among the people.
